Last year, Katie moved from a small agriculture community
in Texas to pursue her dreams in New York. There she
discovered a magical world beyond her expectations,
including wizards, fairies, enchantments and spells. Katie
learns she has magical immunity, which means she can't be
affected or deceived by magic. That trait makes her a
valuable asset to her employer, the secretive company
Magic, Spells and Illusions, Inc.
After being promoted to assistant to the CEO, Katie is
working with Merlin as a boss (yes, that Merlin). She's
given even more responsibility after the research
department has an internal break-in and everyone in the
company is a suspected spy.
Outside of work, Katie is desperately trying to have a
normal non-magical life. She's dating Ethan, a corporate
lawyer, and she's crushing on Owen, a powerful wizard at
MSI. She's avoiding Phelan Idris, the arch nemesis of MSI,
who sells spells to businesses for scamming regular humans.
As if life wasn't complicated enough, her parents decide to
visit for Thanksgiving, and Katie's magical immunity goes
on the blink in the middle of her espionage investigation.
How can she trap magical spies if she's caught in their
illusions?
Although ONCE UPON STILETTOS is a sequel to ENCHANTED,
INC., this quirky, lighthearted romance stands alone as an
amusing big-city caper. If Harry Potter took a vacation to
New York City, he'd fit right in to the magical realm
created by Ms. Swendson, where the good magicians work to
protect innocent humans from the effects of those who'd use
their magical powers for evil. Katie's descriptions of her
magical immunity and the hilarious consequences when she
begins to fall for spells and enchantments make this
fantasy romance seem almost believable and satisfying.
When we left Katie at the end of Enchanted, Inc., she had
helped her new employers, Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc.
defeat Phelan Idris, a rogue wizard intent on stealing
spells. By her side, and leading the battle, was hunky
wizard Owen. Katie and Owen are still fighting their
attraction to each other in Shanna Swendson’s hilarious and
charming sequel Once Upon Stilettos, but first they have to
track down a corporate spy before the company dissolves into
paranoia. Then at the worst possible time, Katie's immunity
to magic goes on the blink. At least she's having better
luck in her social life, with men falling at her feet
everywhere she goes. Has she really become that
irresistible, or is it the new red shoes she felt compelled
to buy? Polish your fairy wings, put on your magic shoes,
click your heels three times, and join Shanna Swendson for a
romantic romp amidst fairies, goblins, wizards and
gargoyles.
