Enchanted, Inc.

A Novel

By: Shanna Swendson

Narrated by: Eva Wilhelm

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.

Refreshing !!

Would you consider the audio edition of Enchanted, Inc. to be better than the print version?

Eva Wihelm does a wonderful job of bringing Katie, Owen and everyone to life. I hesitated on this series because Texan draws tend to be over done and annoying but Miss Wilhelm does it perfectly when needed.

Any additional comments?

I called these books refreshing because there are too many Sci-Fi books that are tossing in random sex scenes to sell but it just distracts from the story. Shanna Swendson has given us an exciting adventure with the magical aspects we all love and a touch of romance that doesn't get carried away. I went through all the books in this series in a matter of days because I could not put them down.

Interesting.

Would you consider the audio edition of Enchanted, Inc. to be better than the print version?

I think so. I liked how she did the male character's voices. They had depth of character, just from the voices, and it really added to the story.

What did you like best about this story?

It was funny.

What three words best describe Eva Wilhelm’s performance?

Interesting. Different. Depth.
The narrator did ok. The main character's accent really started to get to me at the end. It is supposed to be Texan but comes off as a New Yorker pretending to be southern and really bothered me. She constantly sounded shocked, hard of hearing, and (I hate this word) crazy bossy. However, I liked how she did the male character's voices. They had depth of character, just from the voices and I really liked that.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a few times, but I didn't have an extremem reaction to it.

Any additional comments?

Interesting. Loved the premise. The beginning was interesting and really pulled me in. I was waiting for the tension to build to a big climax, but it never did. There was a climax of the story, a magical one, but it felt late and the tension wasn't built towards it. It just...happened. The story is very business based. It is like a legal drama with magic, fairies, and elves. In all honesty, I am really hoping this book is just setting up the rest of the series for a thrilling ride of magic and romance. Other than that, I am totally swooning over Owen Palmer.

Very "Enchanting"

I really enjoyed this book, and will be moving on to book 2. It was entertaining.

Fun entertainment

How delightful to find a fun story that is well written to boot. Not only that, but there was no cream filling of gaudy sex to stretch the page numbers nor did I feel a need to moan over plot stupidity. Just bought book #2, that should speak for itself.

Enchanting

Cute as heck story! Nice break from reality!! I enjoyed the story! Would tell my friends about it! Fun listen
