Review of "Kiss and Spell" (Enchanted, Inc. #7) by Shanna Swendson

Kiss and Spell - Shanna Swendson

Not going to be a very thorough or very good review.  For the (presumably) last book in series, it did wrap things up, in a way it came full circle and had a very satisfying ending in terms of our main characters.  Of of course, I liked this book.  Just as much as I've liked the other books in the series.

 

In a way, that was a small problem I did have with this one — meaning that it was clearly way more chick lit with Owen and Katie front and center and 

with our intrepid heroine getting her happily ever after

(show spoiler)

.  The paranormal/fantasy elements took a backseat and there wasn't the big intense save-the-world moments that made a few previous books so exciting.

 

But a nice ending (presumably) to an enjoyable series that was often funny and action-packed while keeping the characters close to heart.

Ratings scale used in absence of a booklikes suggested rating scale:

★★★★★ = All Time Favorite 
★★★★½ = Extraordinary Book. Really Loved It.
★★★★☆ = Loved It.
★★★½☆ = Really Liked.
★★★☆☆ = Liked.
★★½☆☆ = Liked parts; parts only okay. Would read more by author.
★★☆☆☆ = Average.   Okay. 
★½☆☆☆ = Disliked or meh? but kept me reading in hopes would get better.
★☆☆☆☆ = Loathed It. Possibly DNF and a torturous read.
½☆☆☆☆ = So vile was a DNF or should have been. Cannot imagine anyone liking.  (Might also be just an "uploaded" word spew or collection that should not be dignified by calling itself a "published book." If author is going batshit crazy in the blogosphere over reviews -- I now know why they are getting bad reviews.  Or maybe author should take remedial classes for language written in until basic concepts like using sentences sink in. Is author even old enough to sign a publishing contract or do they need a legal guardian to sign for them?)
