Although ONCE UPON STILETTOS is a sequel to ENCHANTED, INC., this quirky, lighthearted romance stands alone as an amusing big-city caper. If Harry Potter took a vacation to New York City, he'd fit right in to the magical realm created by Ms. Swendson, where the good magicians work to protect innocent humans from the effects of those who'd use their magical powers for evil. Katie's descriptions of her magical immunity and the hilarious consequences when she begins to fall for spells and enchantments make this fantasy romance seem almost believable and satisfying. -- Lissa Staley, Fresh Fiction
