This was a fun book with a clever premise. What would it be like if in modern-day NYC, magic was part of everyday life for some, but remained unnoticed by most? I'm eager to continue reading this series.

Really fun, light-hearted world. Read these years ago, and re-reading because book 5 is about to come out finally!
Surprisingly enjoyable. Yeah, it's chick lit. It's fluff. It was still enjoyable. I'm even thinking of getting the next book from the library.
However, the "which guy?" thing better clear up real soon.

I chose this book for some light reading while on a beach vacation. For what I wanted, it was perfect! This first book was lighthearted, entertaining, with just a hint of romance but not enough to detract from the main plot and story line. I'm intrigued by the idea of a person being immune to magic and will continue reading the series! If you are looking for the next great American novel, this isn't it, but for a fun and relatively quick read this fits the bill. :)
It was a clever misuse of what is traditionally known. Those who don't believe in magic will never find the secrets hidden in the most unlikely places. And only the people who have magic in them can see the potential possibilities even if they are influenced by them. But the non-magical rational people would stay out of what is considered magical. But the author describes those people as the ones who can see through illusions which I do not agree with, in a real world perspective. Also I do not agree with the assumption made by the author that most people have some magic in them and only very few people don't, while it's quite the contrary.
But for the purpose of fiction, I let myself be more open minded towards the twisted assumption and the story though not as captivating or mesmerizing as the adventures in 'The Great LIbrary' or any other high fantasy world story but still intriguing. The heroine is interesting but if I have to read one more time about how Owen got red in the face, I might have to fill my eyes with red paint.
