Chicago is Magic My favorite part of the book is a spoiler so I won’t, but the last two pages are gold. Some people think this book is a little slower than others in the series, but I like that emotional depth.

“Robin, he chided her. He wanted to tell her all this would happen to her, too, that her luck would turn as well. But he had no good arguments for this, and she had no reason to believe him. Such luck as his was far too rare.
“I hope it all works out,” she said, looking up, and then, as if afraid to sound too stingy, she added, “I’m sure it will.”
He bent down to kiss her, but she turned away slightly, and his lips brushed her ear as he whispered, “Please be happy for me.”
