Enjoyable finish to this series. Owen and Katie are pulled into an alternate reality set up by the elves, whose Elf Lord Sylvester is trying to take over the magical world. I missed some of the regular characters but liked the storyline of Owen and Katie dealing with their magical and immune abilities coming and going.

I did like that it had a 'happy ending', however the book spent way too much time in the 'elven lands'. It really started to drag and get boring. That part could have been wrapped up a LOT quicker! If this is the end (and I hope it isn't), I'm glad it had a satisfying ending!

My only gripe is the ending. Sigh. I just feel like it was so quick and neat with a bow and I just wanted more!

NetGalley book.

When I first grabbed this title, I didn't realize that Ms. Swendson had gotten to book 7 of this series.
I read the first 2 books many years ago. I will now have to back track and read the ones I've skipped.
It's always a pleasure to read the stories of Katie and Owen and their magical storyline. While I believe the stories could be read as stand alone, their are many mentions of previous acts from the other books. So it is in my opinion that if you would like to read this series, please start with "Enchanted, Inc."

Once again, just as life seems to have settled down for Katie Chandler, schemes from others in the magical world intrude to cause chaos. She is up to the challenge, of course. This time, she and Owen are kidnapped into a romantic comedy version of NYC, complete with Mr. Wrong, a sassy best friend and montages. But soon they begin to suspect that something is very wrong, and with her usual dose of common sense, Katie has to save the day.
This is probably one of the funnier books in the series, because it is poking fun at romantic comedies and using the cliches at the same time. While I missed some of the regular characters from earlier in the series, it was also fun seeing Owen and Katie in a different setting.
SpoilerAlso, if this is indeed the last book in the series, as the author has said on her blog may be the case, it makes sense that Katie and Owen would get engaged at the end. I wouldn't mind seeing what their future lives would hold, but like any good romantic comedy, that isn't really the point, now is it? At least they are together.

Definite improvement to the last book. But somehow I hope if there are more books that they would be about other characters. Or at least something new. But these books just make me smile, so they can't be that bad...
