The fairy godmother was annoying. She was basically Murphy's Law swathed in layers of faded taffeta. Reminded me of something in Jasper Fforde's novels where a plot device is this physical thing you hurl, like a smoke bomb (if I am remembering correctly). In this case, just when things seem to be going well: Boom. Ethelinda attacks. Somehow at the end of the book I wasn't sure who the antagonist was. Probably Sylvia? What is Mr. Bones? It's 2 a.m. Do I go to sleep or read the next book until dawn? (  ) mrsrobin | Jun 24, 2017 | Other than that....it was an easy and fun read.....with a Fairy Godmother, dragons , boyfriend's parents, and a pair of comical gargoyles as chauffeurs in the mix. The gargoyles had me laughing...I'd like to see more of them. ( ) Auntie-Nanuuq | Jan 18, 2016 | ) Alliebadger | Apr 30, 2012 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:To-do: Stop the bad guys. Rescue the wizard. Find the perfect outfit for New Year??s Eve. At last, Owen Palmer, the dreamboat wizard at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has conjured up the courage to get Katie Chandler under the mistletoe at the office holiday party. But just when it looks like Katie has found her prince, in pops her inept fairy godmother, Ethelinda, to throw a wand into the works. Ethelinda??s timing couldn??t be worse. A plot hatched by MSI??s rogue ex-employees, Idris and his evil fairy gal pal Ari, threatens to expose the company??s secrets??and the very existence of magic itself. Even worse, it could also mean the end of Katie??s happily-ever-after. Now Katie and Owen must work side by side (but alas, not cheek to cheek) to thwart the villains?? plans. Braving black-magic-wielding sorceresses, subway-dwelling dragons, lovelorn frog princes, and even the dreaded trip to meet Owen??s parents at Christmas, Katie and her beau are in a battle to beat Idris at his own sinister game. All mischief and matters of the heart will come to a head at a big New Year??s Eve gala, when the crystal ball will drop, champagne will pour, and Katie will find herself truly spellbound. Praise for Shanna Swendson??s Once Upon Stilettos ??Magical and totally delightful . . . [a] quirky, lighthearted romance.? ??freshfiction.com ??A fast and funny read. Chicklit meets urban fantasy.? ??M Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Katie and Owen are finally together. They have the lamest dates ever (I said it) with making out here and there. Katie gets a fairy godmother in this one. And apparently it's the same one that helped (badly) Cinderella out. I wish that the book had focused on that more since I think it could have been funny to find out more about the fairy godmother and her terrible plots to get people together. Katie loses her immunity (a freaking gain) in this one, but on purpose and someone also gets possessed (don't ask).
The only reason that I gave this book 2 stars was that we finally get some backstory on Owen and his adopted parents in this one. I wish that Katie and Owen had visited with them longer. Everything else in this book was a snooze. There is once again the lamest magical fight in this one and at this point I don't see why anyone is worried about Merlin. He just seems to sit around and does some rah rah nonsense here and there (
