Once
upon a time ...
A little girl learned to amuse herself by making up stories in her head.
She turned everyday activities into exciting adventures, and she made up new
adventures for characters from her favorite movies, TV shows and books. Then
one day she realized that if she wrote down those stories, she'd have a book!
But that was crazy, she thought. Real people don't become novelists. That was
like deciding you were going to be a movie star. You couldn't just go and do
it. But, it turns out, you can, and she did. She realized her dream of becoming
a novelist and seeing her stories in bookstores. And then she started to wig
herself out by writing about herself in the third-person. This is her
story.

First
sentences:
I’d
always heard that New York
was weird, but I had no idea just how weird until I got here.
Summary:
Don’t Mess
With Hexes.
Katie
Chandler had always heard that New York is a
weird and wonderful place, but this small-town Texas gal had no idea how weird until she moved
there. Everywhere she goes, she sees something worth gawking at and Katie is
afraid she’s a little too normal to make a splash in the big city. Working for
an ogre of a boss doesn’t help.
Then, seemingly out of the blue, Katie gets a job offer from Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., a company that tricks of the trade to the magic community. For MSI, Katie’s ordinariness is an asset. Lacking any bit of magic, she can easily spot a fake spell, catch hidden clauses in competitor’s contracts, and detect magically disguised intruders. Suddenly, average Katie is very special indeed.
She quickly learns that office politics are even more complicated when your new boss is a real ogre, and you have a crush on the sexy, shy, ultra powerful head of the R&D department, who is so busy fighting an evil competitor threatening to sell black magic on the street that he seems barely to notice Katie. Now it’s up to Katie to pull off the impossible: save the world and–hopefully–live happily ever after.

My
opinion:
Enchanted,
Inc. is a wonderful novel full of magic, friendship and some really old
magicians. Katie Chandler is so extremely “unmagical” that she gets a job offer
from MSI, Inc. who need people like her.
I read the
book in no time and loved it. The writing style is funny and the topic is
unique. There is nothing really paranormal in this book but if you like reading
those kinds of books you will like this one too. Extremely friendly, speaking
gargoyles – that’s all I’m saying.
Enchanted,
Inc. is a wonderful novel for everyone who likes good entertainment and a nice
story with some magical twists in it. I can highly recommend it and I will
definitely read the other books in this series as well.
Enchanted,
Inc. is available at Amazon in paperback and for your Kindle too. You can also
buy it at Book Depo.
The Books
in the Enchanted, Inc, series are:
- Enchanted, Inc.
- Once Upon Stilettos
- Damsel Under Stress
- Don’t Hex With Texas
- Much Ado About Magic
