If you haven't read the Enchanted Inc., series by Shanna Swendson, you really do need to. Fun!
She's got a thing for ordinary, brainy Texas girls falling into a magical community in New York -- because that happens in the Enchanted series, about a company that specializes in creating spells for the magically gifted community -- and it happens here, with Claire, our heroine.
Claire is in New York for her honeymoon ... except the groom didn't make it. And she isn't even two days into her trip before she's starting to think she dodged a bullet. The guy fled during the rehearsal, and when he didn't show up for the ceremony, she turned it into a party for her friends, then decided to go off and enjoy the trip that she put together. And she is enjoying herself -- except for every time she has to explain that yes, reservations were for two, but no, the other party didn't make it.
So when she helps a blind woman who is knocked over in what appears to be a failed mugging attempt, Claire is ready to make friends and have some company. And next thing she knows, people are coming out of the woodwork to make friends with her and invite her to lavish parties, and gift her with ball gowns so she's properly dressed. And then she finds the expensive-looking, antique-looking amulet that the little old blind lady slipped in her sweater pocket, and the more questions Claire asks, the faster and deeper she is pulled into the invisible society of wizards and magically gifted and a struggle to determine who is next to rule the wizards of New York.
Being a librarian, Claire knows how to do her research, and she's in her element when she finds a doorway no one else can see in the New York Public Library, leading to a hidden library of magical lore. Look out New York, look out wizards, this Texas girl is going to fix things before her honeymoon is over.
Major fun, and just as satisfying as the Enchanted, Inc. books.
