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.

Vampires, Werewolves, shifters, necromancers and witches oh my. It was a cute cozy type para-mystery read with a few grizzly bits, a good introduction into this world of baked goodies and supernaturals.
Ooo I totally loved this book! I could tell who dun it, so to speak, very early on, but I didn't care. I'm not sure the author didn't intend for it to be this way. Either way, I still loved every bit of it!
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...
