"Charming isn't adequate to describe Jennifer J. Chow's series debut, Ill-Fated Fortune. I was immediately pulled into the story by the powerful first line and an instant, deep connection to the narrator. There is real magic in this story—and not just from the baking skills of Felicity and her mom. Along with the terrific writing, I was treated (and it was nearly as good as those fortune cookies sound) to a glimpse into a culture and place that I didn't know. This book contains so many elements readers will love. Plus a fun mystery. Pre-order this right away! A new series is about to be born." —Carolyn Haines, USA Today bestselling author of the Sara Booth Delaney series
