How to describe this book? We tend to put books into the confines of one genre/sub-genre or another, but for me Enchanted is so unique I personally cannot categorize it. There is royal intrigue, the treat of an arranged marriage with one out of three charming suitors, a princess on the path to discovering what true love is, all of that happening against the beautiful backdrop of modern Reunion Island (depicted so vividly I imagined myself swimming with the dolphins in its crystal-clear waters). But you also have vampires, werewolves, witches, and fae, each with their own kingdom and powers and secret agenda. There are ghosts too, and magic working alongside modern devices. All of that made for an unpredictable story that enchanted me ;) The character development, the pining, the spicy moments, the humor - I loved it all!
