The Sweetest Kind of Fate
Author: Crystal Cestari
Series: Windy City Magic, #2
Publication Date: February 13th, 2018
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Synopsis: GREAT. I’ve somehow found myself tangled up with a siren, a mermaid, and a homicidal wicked witch who once tried to strangle me to death. Way to go, Amber!
Amber Sand, legendary matchmaker, couldn’t be more surprised when her arch nemesis, Ivy, comes asking for her help. Ivy’s sister, Iris, is getting married, and Ivy wants to prove her sister is making a huge mistake. But as Amber looks into Iris’s eyes, there doesn’t seem to be a problem—Iris has clearly found her match.
It seems happily ever after is in the cards, but when Iris seeks out a dangerous, life-altering spell, it’s up to Amber and Ivy to set aside their rivalry and save the day.
While Iris is willing to put everything on the line for love, Amber continues to wrestle with her own romantic future. Her boyfriend, Charlie, is still destined for another, and no matter how hard she clings to him, fear over their inevitable breakup shakes her belief system to the core.
Because the Fates are never wrong—right?

The Best Kind of Magic
Author: Crystal Cestari
Series: Windy City Magic, #1
Publication Date: May 6th, 2017
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Synopsis: Amber Sand is not a witch. The Sand family Wicca gene somehow leapfrogged over her. But she did get one highly specific magical 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.

This series sounds fun – something sort of like Practical Magic or that wonderful movie Simply Irresistible (which I loved). I think I would like this!
I haven’t seen that movie but I heard awesome things about it! This sounds like such a cute book, and super fun!
The covers are amazing and the books sound so good! Definitely going to look into them! By the way, I love your blog graphics! They are absolutely stunning! 🙂

I know, they’re stunning!
I have the first book on my TBR, and I am getting more and more motivated to read it, because I am hearing even better things about the second book.

Yay! You’ll have to let me know if you like it when you read it. I haven’t read this one yet but the books both sound amazing!
Those covers are so lovely! I’d pick these up for those alone, but I also really like how fun the series sounds. I agree with the person above who made the Practical Magic comparison.
