Amber Sand is not a witch. The Sand family magical gene somehow leapfrogged over her. But she did get one highly specific bewitching talent: she can see true love. As a matchmaker, Amber's pretty far down the sorcery food chain (even birthday party magicians rank higher), but after five seconds of eye contact, she can envision anyone's soul mate. Amber works at her mother's magic shop -- Windy City Magic -- in downtown Chicago, and she's confident she's seen every kind of happy ending there is: except for one--her own. (The Fates are tricky jerks that way.) So when Charlie Blitzman, the mayor's son and most-desired boy in school, comes to her for help finding his father's missing girlfriend, she's distressed to find herself falling for him. Because while she can't see her own match, she can see his -- and it's not Amber. How can she, an honest peddler of true love, pursue a boy she knows full well isn't her match?The Best Kind of Magic is set in urban Chicago and will appeal to readers who long for magic in the real world. With a sharp-witted and sassy heroine, a quirky cast of mystical beings, and a heady dose of adventure, this novel will have you laughing out loud and questioning your belief in happy endings.

"I've always wished there was an urban fantasy book set in Chicago, and I finally found one! "The Best Kind of Magic" was such a cute read! If you love, witches, vampires, sirens and the like, you'll love this read! For me personally, it was great to read a book that's set in the same city as me. There were so many instances where I was like "I know exactly where that is!" <br/>The only negative (and the man reason this is a 4/5) thing I can say is the voice of Amber is very juvenile sounding a lot of the time, to the point where it's a little cringey? A lot of her dialogue really took me out of the story at time. :/"
"Love this book so much! Could read it all day"
