Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic
If you’d asked me a week ago, I would have told you that the best cupcakes were dark chocolate with chocolate cream cheese icing, that dancing in a crowd of magic wielders — the Adept — was better than sex, and that my life was peaceful and uneventful. Just the way I liked it.That’s what...

If you’d asked me a week ago, I would have told you that the best cupcakes were dark chocolate with chocolate cream cheese icing, that dancing in a crowd of magic wielders — the Adept — was better than sex, and that my life was peaceful and uneventful. Just the way I liked it.That’s what twenty-three years in the magical backwater of Vancouver will get you — a completely skewed sense of reality. Because when the dead werewolves started showing up, it all unraveled … except for the cupcake part. That’s a universal truth.Note: This 68,000 word urban fantasy is the first book of the Dowser Series by author Meghan Ciana Doidge.

Amateur writing badly in need of an editor. Jade was one of the most stupidly oblivious narrators I've read in a while. Somehow the last half of the book redeemed itself from the one star, so it's closer to 1.5 stars but this is not a great book. I am side-eyeing all those 5 star reviews. However, a...
