This didn't match up to its predecessor, unfortunately, and I wasn't sure in the beginning how much of a satisfying story needed to be told.

I loved the first book in the Windy City Magic series, so had high hopes for the sequel. I was not disappointed. Wow. All the clever urban fantasy world-building from the first book was equally in evidence, with some fun new elements added and an amazing mystery. Centering the mystery around a relationship made me heavily invested in Amber cracking the case, and also it was nice to see such a healthy LGBT relationship as the main focus. Please, please can there be another in the series? I want to know all about how Amber gets on with her cooking career, as well as about Amani and Vincent. Too invested in the characters to stop now!
