It was an offer she couldn't believe …
Small town native Katie Chandler is ready to dump New York City, her horrid boss, and awful job to head back home to Texas. Before she can make this fateful decision, she receives a mysterious job offer from a company called Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc. She's always thought of herself as ordinary, but according to people claiming to be wizards, she is so ordinary that she's extraordinary – she is one of the rare people so utterly without magic as to be immune to it.
And therefore perfect to be MSI Inc.'s secret weapon.
Now she's finding her way in a magical world where the boss can be a real ogre and kissing frogs is one way to get a date. The cutest guy in the company is powerful enough to blow up the city with a wave of his hand, but he can't talk to Katie without blushing furiously. Suddenly New York is her kind of city! Now Katie's biggest challenge may be dragging this ancient company into the twenty-first century in time to face competition from an evil mastermind producing dangerous spells.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In her first mainstream novel, romance writer Swendson puts a Harry Potter inspired twist on the standard tale of a smalltown girl in the big city, with lively if saccharine sweet results. Fish-out-of-water Katie Chandler suffers in her thankless job as assistant to marketing manager "Evil Mimi," worrying that maybe she just can't hack it in New York City. Will her colleagues ever consider her anything but a hick? For a girl from Texas, the Big Apple is stranger than a foreign country, but she discovers that the weird things she notices are signs of real magic afoot. Her "small-town honesty and common sense" soon land her a new job at Magic, Spells, and Illusion Inc., which traffics in benevolent sorcery. "You... are of the rare breed who can neither do magic nor be influenced by magic. You see the world as it is," an MSI executive explains. With her clear-sightedness plus business acumen gained working for her family's feed-and-seed store Katie will play a pivotal role in MSI's magical battle against a malevolent competitor. From sanitized descriptions of New York City life to hunky wizards and fairies on the subway, this book is pure and innocent fantasy, suitable for preteens or readers hungry for a cotton candy read.
