YA
Windy City Magic series.
With a fantastic best friend, boyfriend, and culinary career all lined up, Amber Sand (The Best Kind of Magic) ought to be happy. Too bad her matchmaking magic keeps causing problems: she struggles to help a siren and a mermaid whose cross-species love seems doomed, and visions of her boyfriend's betrayal upset her even more. Amber's witty voice keeps the modern-day fantasy lively as it explores love's unpredictability.

YA
Windy City Magic series.
Amber's already lowly position in Chicago's magical community is challenged when she begins to doubt her matchmaking powers. This identity crisis affects both high-school and city politics as Amber helps her classmate, the mayor's son Charlie, find his missing stepmother-to-be (while fighting off her own feelings for him). Despite plot inconsistencies, Cestari's debut fantasy is appealing, limning as many real-world issues as magical ones.
