Explanation As Books Don't Hex with Texas (Enchanted, Inc. #4)
Everything’s bigger in Texas–including romance, magic, and danger!Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm–after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen’s job a lot harder. But now it seems that trouble has followed her home: Despite the fact that Merlin, Katie’s old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantmen, (magically speaking), Katie begins to notice curious phenomena.
Cobb is being plagued by a series of inexplicable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows “unauthorized magic” when she sees it. As this new darkness strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie’s friends and family must show the bad guys why it’s bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the Lone Star State.
“Enchanting . . . Trying to start a romance with the world hanging in the balance is not optimal, but it sure is funny.”

“Winning . . . [a] smart, snappy novel.”

I really really like these books. There was a part of this one that I just went DUH because it was slightly predictable but then there were a ton of things thrown in that made up for that. Seriously if you want some fun books to read, you have to read this series. They are also very easy to read. I love the characters in it and they way she describes the "main" characters makes you relate to them quite well. READ THESE BOOKS!!! I just read on her web site she had plans for a book 5 but that isWe meet Katie in Texas with her crazy family. She determined that Owen is better off her..While she thinks she's on vacation, the evil forces are in Texas to stir up trouble!Cute novel.
She's back! After the disappointment (albeit slight) of "Damsel Under Stress", I was apprehensive about launching into the latest adventure of Katie Chandler. But I was worried over nothing! I absolutely loved this book (and it could be my favourite out of the four!)Author Shanna Swendson has the scribblings ready for Book Five but there is hesitance from her publishers. Why?! Her writing is fluid and easily captivating and the characters are all adorable. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and
Another fun read involving magical immune Katie Chandler - my favorite new character in this series has to be Katie's Granny, she is a hoot. In this installment, Katie has retreated to her hometown of Cobb, Texas after the near disastrous events of the last book - thinking that being out of the area will keep Owen from being distracted, which could be dangerous since he's a powerful wizard and the "good" guys really need his full attention! But will the problems follow Katie, or stay in New York
Katie's adventures with magical mysteries continue (of course) despite having moved home to get away from them. Katie's home town of Cobb, Texas sounds pretty familiar, from the DQ to the number of stoplights downtown.I really like the style of these novels: they contain a smooth blend of slapstick, verbal bantering, and realistic characters with light-hearted satire and solid magical elements. Swendson knows how to write a highly entertaining story that pays homage rather than throws darts at
It took me a month to track this down. It was worth it, but I have such issues with this series. The writing isn't up to par, and the main characters (Katie and Owen) could be renamed Mary Sue and Marty Stu. Still, I remain charmed by the series and am sad that the publishers won't buy the fifth and last book in the series. This book resolved some of the arcs, but not all of them.I can't quite blame them, though. The writing does feel amateurish - there is so much telling instead of showing,
Continuing urban fantasy as chick lit . . . . spoilers for the earlier onesSo she headed back to Texas after the events of the last book, to avoid being targeted by the bad guys since they had to realize Owen would save her over catch them.Doesn't stop things. She survives her family, learns more about them, notices things happening, gets word back to the security gargoyle Sam, and so the trouble continues in the heart of Texas.
