About this ebook
“A totally captivating, hilarious, and clever look on the magical kingdom of Manhattan, where kissing frogs has never been this fun.”—Melissa de la Cruz, author of The Au Pairs
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.

I loved this book. I read it in 1 day because I just couldn't put it down. It had a lot if business speak which could be uninteresting to some people. However, I found it fit within the story. Our leading lady had a degree in business studies and is trying to build a career in that area. So the business talk fits and makes her feel developed. I also found it funny the very real world business stuff being juxtaposed with the magical stuff. I liked it and will be reading the next one.

How refreshing! I was looking for something a bit different and this was it. Main character is immune to magic, and that is different than your usual read. She is hard working and honest and it was easy to get into the story.

I loved this series and wish there were more! If you enjoyed faery tales as a child, check out this series and enjoy magic of the grown-up sort!
