Of the Bookshelf: ENCHANTED EVER AFTER, by Shanna Swendson

 

Enchanted Inc., #9

Lovely, fun, frantic, snarky ending to a totally fun series. Which means it's kind of depressing, too.  Marriage is NOT the end of the story.

Please, please, please, Shanna ... come back in a few years and tell us the trials and tribulations of a magical immune mommy to a magically hyper-gifted toddler or two?

Katie and Owen are finally heading for the altar. The race is on to find the perfect wedding dress and pick out their decorations and food. And oh, yeah, stop a sudden upsurge of anti-magical blogs and support groups and someone who is out to "out" the magical community and apparently put all the blame on Owen. It'd be fine if this was a perfect world and the magical community could just come out from behind their illusions and say hey, we're here, let's get along. But no, some of the people who are hunting for them want them controlled and consider them dangerous. (Can we say shades of the political situation in the first X-Men movies?) 

But our fearless (sometimes) and determine Katie is now working in security for MSI, and she's on the case. In between tasting cake and searching for the perfect wedding reception band that won't enchant everyone ....

Fun! One of these days, when I'm kinda-sorta caught up on my Do list, I'm gonna take a week and read the entire series from one end to the other, just to relive all the fun and silliness and snark and adventure and *gasp* and giggle moments.

Thanks, Shanna. It's been a fun ride. And it was over far too soon. (For me, at least!)
