    Description

    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 listeners 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.

    "Jeannie Tirado flawlessly narrates this urban fantasy. The story features visits to Chicago's diverse neighborhoods and touristy Navy Pier, home of Windy City Magic. Amber Sands's mother is a witch who owns the magic shop where Amber works as a matchmaker. Tirado's Amber is a sweet but feisty teen. Tirado realistically portrays Amber's ever-changing emotions, especially in her school relationships - she's warm toward Imani and Charlie and icy toward Ivy, a siren who 'forces' Amber to punch her. The action escalates when Charlie asks Amber to secretly find the missing woman who will soon be his stepmother. Listeners will marvel at Amber's convincing explanation of how magic and baking (one of her passions) are alike because the ingredients must be perfectly mixed for the desired outcome. The revelation of her first love is a fun surprise since - as a matchmaker - Amber had envisioned Charlie with someone else. Most rewarding is hearing Amber mature as she realizes there are multiple possibilities in life." (AudioFile Magazine)

    very sweet

    In these times of covid I am really enjoying these sweeter stories. Not really up for trauma, pandemic, apocalyptic, dystopian world stories anymore.

    Cute for Youth

    Cute book for youngsters. Entertaining and a nice listen, especially for those in High School or younger.

    Mehhhhhhhhh

    I really wanted to love this book. The narrator does a decent job, but might actually make the main protagonist sound more melodramatic than if you just read it in your head. But the worst part overall is the boring story. I literally kept rolling my eyes and wondering how the logistics of fantastical magical beings were only known by a few but not hidden barely at all? Not to mention I wanted some kind of twist or omg moment. Instead I got a rather boring plot that included ridiculous inner dialogue. I was so bored I found the physical book so I could skip to the end to see if anything exciting ever happens... spoiler alert... not really. :/

    Didn’t expect the ending

    I thought she would at least manifest more powers or have something wrong with her magic. I don’t get the point at all on this...narrator is awesome

    SOOO FREAKING GOOD

    The narrator is fantastic! She really brings the story to life. I enjoyed the story from beginning to ending and highly recommend it!!! I’m 28 and absolutely enjoyed it. Can’t wait to listen to the next two books in the series!!!! If you love magic, you’ll love this book.

    really sweet

    I liked the ups and downs of the book. but the main character's ups and downs about her relationship at the end got tiring. probably appropriate for a YA audience.

    Cute but MEH

    This is clearly a YA novel about a high school girl. If that's not for you don't want a credit. And if you do like YA its okay if you can listen for free.

    This story was just okay, it does kind of ramp up for a moment but that's about it. This feels like groundwork for a bunch of other stories not just one and I think that's why it's so meh.

    The protagonist does have this annoying inner dialogue that makes no sense. She actually walked us through the recipe for a pie at some point for no reason. She also says things that don't make much sense to her character or her age.
    Like "I've dated/kissed a guy before of course" but at the same time avoids boys becuase of her gift and can't remember the last time she was close to one
    Or her dialogue sounds like it would be better for for an older character. I could see these characters being ages up and the story making more sense

    It's entertaining and cute, I like the world but I won't be checking out the next one in the series.

    My truth

    She has spunk that none witch! And the struggle is real when your screen and faced with knowing what she knows. It’s such a cute book I can’t wait to see it’s ending. Also the reader is wonderful just wish she was better at male voices. Tho I know ya hard to do different voices anyway so kudos to her for being able to keep me listening! 🖤

    Just my type

    I love YA. This is so up my alley. It was so lighthearted. Just the right amount of stress, romance and fun.

    good but the story has a bunch on plotholes

    overall the story is good, but as said above their are a lot of plotholes and illogical behaviour from the characters which is never explained. fun cute story but would not recommend if interested in world development

    gut geschrieben

    3,5 Sterne
    sehr gut geschrieben, aber ich fand die Handlung leider eher langweilig und hätte das Hörbuch fast nicht zu Ende gehört.

    Really good!

    I was surprised because I understood the introduction text differently (probably because it was automatically translated by my phone 😅) but this story was so much better than I expected! Really well thought out Characters and a nice plot, I really enjoyed listening!

    Schöne Geschichte

    Das Ende war leider etwas zu vage und aprupt für meinen Geschmack. Aber trotzdem eine gute Geschichte.
