Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic
A Paranormal / Urban Fantasy Novel by Meghan Ciana Doidge
Book 1 of the Dowser Series
Subgenres & Tropes:
- Werewolves,
- Vancouver,
- Humorous Fantasy
This book is for you if you're into...
- Urban fantasy with a sweet tooth and magical baking
- Vancouver settings where supernatural trouble finds the unassuming
- Dead werewolves and a heroine who just wants peace and cupcakes
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.
Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic is the first book in the Dowser series, which is set in the same universe as the Oracle, Reconstructionist, Amplifier, Archivist, and Misfits of the Adept Universe series. While it is not necessary to read all the series, in order to avoid spoilers the ideal reading order of the Adept Universe begins with Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1).
