Fairy-Tale Matchmaker series.
This fourth series entry finds former tooth-fairy-in-training Cory working hard in her new role as matchmaking Cupid. Cory is likable, but other characters are rather flat and their adventures feel disjointed; a protracted scene in which goblins kidnap Cory prior to her mother's wedding seems particularly misplaced. Still, series fans should enjoy this book's ogres, witches, and humorous magic.

Fairy-Tale Matchmaker series.
Cory, a Tooth Fairy Guild dropout, keeps herself busy with odd jobs, a matchmaking business, and a big secret: she's a descendant of Cupid. Goldilocks wants Cory to find her a soulmate, but things grow complicated when Cory learns Goldilocks's intended is set to wed another. Fans of the first book (The Fairy-Tale Matchmaker) will enjoy this somewhat plodding twist on fairy-tale romances.
