Once Upon Stilettos

A Novel

By: Shanna Swendson

Narrated by: Eva Wilhelm

Click your heels three times and say, "There's no place like Bloomies!"

Katie Chandler's life is pure magic - literally. As an executive assistant at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., she's seen more than her share of fantastical occurrences. A mere Manhattan mortal, Katie is no wizard, but she's a wiz at exposing "hokum" pocus, cloaked lies, and deceptive enchantments. And she's fallen under the all-too-human spell of attraction to Owen, a hunky wizard and coworker. Owen, however, is preoccupied. Someone has broken into his office and disrupted top-secret files, and it reeks of an inside job. CEO Merlin (yes, the Merlin) and taps Katie and her special ability to uncover the magical mole.

Keeping her feelings in check while sleuthing alongside Owen, Katie is shocked to discover that her immunity to magic is waning, putting her in grave danger. Soon she's surrendering to the charms and enchantments of everyone and everything around her, including a killer pair of red stilettos. Katie must now conjure up her natural instincts to get to the bottom of the break-in, regain her power, and win the wizard of her dreams.

My fav of the series

I love this series. Any easy and fun listen. It’s mildly racy...a little profanity and suggestive situations, but pretty tame overall. Love Owen and Katie. And love the progression of the relationship. I revisit this series every year or so and listen again. Recommend!

Fun listen.

I enjoyed this book. It is a fun book with good humor. Perfect for an escape if you've got a lot of stress going in other aspects of your life.

Another great performance

I absolutely adore this series. It's still quirky and fun. It also has just enough twists and turns to keep you interested.

A delightful read

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.

fun

no deep thinking just fun when you want to escape the real world and its problems.
