"Best kind of magic" by Crystal Cestari Mai 16th.
Cute, cute, cute.
This gorgeus looking book was provided by Disney hyperion for an honest review and I am really thankful I got approved to this.
Do you remember Kiersten Whites super cute Paranormal trilogie that I loved? This reminded me so much, I want to reread Kiersten White!
But don't worry, Cestari knows how to take her spotlight. Best kind of magic is a sweet lovestory with lots of paranormal beings strolling around. Set in Urban Chigaco I really got in the mood for a holiday. Her describtions of this town are wonderful and engaging, a perfect setting for a little magic.
Amber is our guide in this new world. With her bestie Amani she'll encounter many monsters and fairytale beings in her quest to help Charlie, son of her mothers best friend and son of the mayor! Her matchmaking ability showed her clearly that she isn't the love of Charlie's life, but knowing so isn't helping her falling for him... And while they have their adventures in the chigaco underground with Vampire encounters and goblins along the way, the reader starts to question her talent, as it is clear that these two match so so well. Well written chemistry waves off the pages from them.
I loved Ambers reluctance, fearing the big, eventually happening, heart break and her thoughts on it. Next to the lovestory, it was the friendship between her and Amani that I really enjoyed. Also the fact that amani got so hung up on her perfect match that he couldn't swoon her anymore later on. Ha! Nice little nod towards building high expectations!
I'm not sure I would have needed a series out of this, the ending is kinda okayish to read as a stand alone. Everyone is responsible for his own fate, I like this message. Well let's see what Book 2 has in store for us!
