Enchanted, Inc. by Shanna Swendson


I've been promising book reviews since the beginning. I guess I ought to finally get around to it. So I'm starting with a book I read recently, Enchanted, Inc. by Shanna Swendson.

I loved this book. Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT! I knew from the moment I read the premise that I had to read this book, and it did not disappoint. I plan on owning this book, and all of the sequels.

Katie Chandler is a small-town Texas girl who's drowning in New York City. Her common sense and competence just leave her open to abuse from her boss. And she just can't adjust to all the weird things that she sees, things native New Yorkers don't even blink an eye at.

When Katie gets a job offer from MSI, Inc., she finds out that there is more to life in New York than most people see; magic and magical creatures do exist, and she can see them.

I'm not going to say anything else about the plot because it's just so much fun discovering it. If you really want to know, you can go check out the author's web site or the reviews on Amazon. I will say that this book could easily fit in a high school library. Katie is young enough to resonate with high school girls who are starting to anticipate life on their own. I plan on sharing this book with my sisters who are in high school; I think they'll like it as much as I did.
