About:

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?

Review:

Just like the first book in this series, The Sweetest Kind of Fate is a cute, quick, fun supernatural adventure. All of our main characters are back, including evil Veronica. We have a light teen romance (very PG) again that doesn’t ruin the story. This time around our main character Amber the matchmaker is trying to save her arch nemesis’s sister from an evil witch. We get a mix of witches, werwolves, vampires, mermaids, sirens, humans, and more that come together to defeat the evil witch. The book has a bit of “teen” drama mixed in that teen readers will be able to relate to.  The way the author describes Chicago is perfect…. though I have been to the city many times and have been to many of the places that the characters go to in the book. Unfortunately I have not found the Supernatural restaurant/bar to visit yet. I think those who have not been to the city will still be able to picture it pretty well. This book/series is perfect for younger teens just getting started in YA, but I know older teens and teens at heart will enjoy it too. I hope that there will be more books in this series.
