Book Inspection: Once Upon Stilettos by Shanna Swendson

Plot Sketch:
Once Upon Stilettos is a continuation of the Katie Chandler series that starts with Enchanted, Inc. Katie is immune to magic, and she works as a verifier/personal assistant at MSI, Inc. That's Magic, Spells and Illusions, Inc. Sound like a fun job? In this book, Katie's magical immunity makes her vital to the MSI organization. She's got a job to do and that's to find the mole who is giving the bad guys information. Since they're using magic to veil themselves, it's Katie's job to locate the mole. The story takes you through corporate espionage, a little romance, and a lot of magical fun involving a pair of red stilettos.

Verdict:
I heart it. Good, fun read. Definitely recommend it to those who enjoy any kind of fantasy in their fiction. This is a sequel to Enchanted, Inc. and there are two more books after Once Upon Stilettos in the series, Damsel Under Stress and Don't Hex With Texas.
