Publisher's summary

A questing we will go

Now that the Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc. team has defeated the nefarious Spellworks, the only "competition" in town, Katie Chandler doesn't have much to do as director of marketing, and she's starting to question her role at MSI. Her boyfriend Owen Palmer, on the other hand, is in hog heaven, translating an ancient and powerful magical manuscript. But then he finds that the cryptic text describing the location of an enchanted gem known as the Eye of the Moon has radically changed. This deadly stone gives its holder enhanced power over others and a craving for more power. It once caused a terrible war before it was safely hidden and then lost - and now it seems to be in New York and set in an elven brooch that renders its wearer invulnerable. Whoever has this brooch could take over the world.

Katie and Owen must find it before anyone else does, and they're not the only ones searching. They'll need all the help they can get, including Katie's visiting grandmother. But who can they trust when their allies fall under its spell? Not to mention the new enemies who are deadlier than anything they've faced before.

Granny plays a bigger part!

I really like this one because Granny visits NY and plays a much larger role than in previous books. I like Granny. Spunky. Smart. Just imagine Granny on a flying carpet. Or Granny in Grand Central Station. Such fun.

A real magical quest!

I do believe that this is the best one yet. The plot is more developed and there are many new interesting characters while some old funny ones are revived. Don't miss this one.

I just love grandma!

I've really grown to like this series. I think this story could have been shorter in parts. I really like what makes Katie unique. it's what keeps me coming back to the story. idk if I'm going to this new direction but I'll give it a try I guess.

No Quest for the Wicked

I enjoyed this book, although Katie pissed me off by not listening, lol. Loved the storyline, as they ran to/ran away from danger. I loved Grandma, and the ending. I would recommend this book and series. Excellent Audible narration.

Love This Series

I'm a big fan of this series - absolutely addicted, in fact. However, this is my least favorite in the series, as it is very different than the others. Still a good story, with characters I adore, but it was one non-stop race, which didn't feel realistically possible - something that hadn't felt the case in the other books in the series. I can suspend belief rather successfully even in the most fantastic of stories, but I found it harder to do so in this book - who can run for that many hours? How many times are we supposed to believe the narrow escapes? And how can all of this have happened in such a short period of time?

I still gave five stars because I enjoyed the basic premise, and the characters are the same wonderful characters, and I was glad to visit them again. I do hope to continue seeing more books in this series - I really do love it. I just hope we don't see this hard-to-believe race-like format in the future.

Loved its quirkyness

A lovely romp through an alt universe where magic is real. The heroine is engaging and funny. The hero is oblivious and dashing. The story line is engaging and fun. I started the first on a whim based on the cover, title and reviews. I'm glad I did. They have been quite fun. Lighthearted interactions that have kept me engaged through out. I'm looking forward to the next one.

This one causes a little anxiety

Maybe it's just me but this one made me laugh but also made me what to yell "stop chasing them already". I do absolutely love having Granny in Manhattan tho.

Love the Enchanted, Inc Series

Such a lovely and touching story. So happy they discovered they love each other while trying to outwit the enemies. I was moved to tears.
