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. ---------------------------- This 68,000 word urban fantasy is the first book of the Dowser Series by author Meghan Ciana Doidge.

Baking and fantasy - my favourite combination. This was a very different story and kept me interested all the way through. I ended up reading all three books in the series.
I enjoyed this book but it was a little lackluster. My favorite part of all of it was the writing style; I thought it was relatable, smooth, funny, and interesting. I like Jade for this reason, and I like Kett because he's dry and funny (to me at least). However, the plot was a bit meh. I don't fully understand what Jade can do with her trinkets and how she made them protective shields or something without knowing. How did she not feel the magic coming off her creations? Also, how did Jade not know how powerful Sienna is? All book she was talking about how her and Sienna's magic is so weak, yet Jade was never able to sense her sister's growing power as she stole it from other people? That doesn't make sense. This was an interesting and easy read, but I do not see myself continuing the series at this time. Maybe in the future I'll revisit it.
