Publisher's summary

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.

Totally adore this series

Light, fun, charming, and quirky - without trying to be "funny". The story is fun and nicely paced, and I was more than happy to be along for the ride.

Some other listeners seemed to hate the narration, but I didn't find it a problem at all - and I've been known to return books because I can't tolerate the narrator. No problem for me here. Already finished with the second book in the series and just purchased the third.

Loved it!!

This is story is so fun! The characters are simple and the story is really engaging.

Fun Read

What did you love best about Enchanted, Inc.?

It was a lighthearted and fun story

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kate, she is a very likeable character that I could identify with

What about Eva Wilhelm’s performance did you like?

Sassy in all the right places, I felt like she really was Kate

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Sex in the City meets Merlin

can't listen to narrator

With all the great narrators out there why this one. Not the one for this series maybe I'll try if it comes out with new reader.

Glacial romance

Any additional comments?

The romance in the story was slow moving and bland. 4 books in and the couple are still trying to form a deep connection, which is a shame because the narrator is humorous and light hearted, which I usually enjoy. Overall the characters just left me rolling my eyes and the romance lacked the heat that could have made up for that. It felt like I was listening to the toned down love story I'd relay to my bible bashing mum.

Fun story

These are good characters and a fun story. New York City is an unreal place (to us tourists) making it a perfect backdrop for magic hiding in plain sight. There are also several places where I laughed out loud! Looking forward to book two.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

This title is a unique and interesting piece of storytelling. It kept me smiling to end.

Good series of magical mischief

First from what I read from others. Most have a problem with the the narrator. Slow her down to 85 or 90. Very slow burn romance. All clean for those worried about such.
The story is about a Texas girl in the big city. But with Some common sense. Meeting all sorts of mystical beings. Funny & entertaining. I listened to all 9 books.

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.
