Three bestselling urban fantasies from award-winning author Meghan Ciana Doidge. Dowser 1, 2, and 3 complete the first trilogy of the Dowser Series, but fortunately the magic and mayhem continues in Dowser 4, 5, and 6.
The customer looked familiar, like maybe he’d been in the bakery a few times before. The vampire, however, was new. – Dowser 1
Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser … and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1)
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.
Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic (Dowser 2)
Three months ago, I lost my foster sister, Sienna, to the darkness. As in blood magic and chaos and general mayhem. No one saw it until it was too late, but I should have. Now, I have a wounded heart and soul that I can’t even reveal to anyone around me, because I’m supposed to hate Sienna with the fiery passion of the justified. And I do. I just wish I didn’t feel so lost without her, so unsure of the path I thought I had carved for myself, and so outclassed by the powerful Adepts constantly by my side these days. I’m not even sure if they’re with me for my own protection or because my shiny new powers are rare and valuable. Assuming I ever figure out who or what I am, and how my magic actually works.
Even chocolate can’t save the day every time … just most of the time. At least I’ve got that going for me.
Treasures, Demons, and Other Black Magic (Dowser 3)
I hadn’t set foot in the human world for more than a few hours in over three and a half months. Sure, I was stronger and faster than I’d ever been before, and I had a shiny new sword, but I was seriously chocolate deprived. I don’t recommend quitting cold turkey. And the new sword was a problem — to my mind, anyway. It represented all the expectations of a powerful father and a new otherworldly life. A life that wasn’t the one I’d worked so hard to build. It also represented the responsibility I had to bring my foster sister Sienna to … what? Justice? I didn’t know if that was even possible. What I did know was that Sienna wouldn’t stop, and that I couldn’t just leave everything up to fate and destiny … or maybe I was. Maybe I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing. If you believed in that sort of thing.
I just hoped that before the chaos and mayhem renewed, I’d manage to get my hands on some chocolate. It didn’t even have to be single-origin Madagascar. I was utterly prepared to lower my standards.

The best
I didn’t like the people who died
Great series
I am on book three now and sad my box set of stories is close to an end. They have been a lot of fun. I’m looking for to the continuation series.
You never know what’s going to happen next.
Most of the books I read I do for entertainment but usually when done I won’t pay to continue the series. This series is entertaining enough and well written enough that I will pay to continue reading it. It really engaged me.
Just finished reading the first 3 books in this series. Loved Jade, Kandy all of their family of witches, werewolves, shapeshifters. I recommend this book to anyone who likes this genre of writing/story lines. Greatly looking forward to reading the next books in Megan Doidge’s series.
I got it as a trilogy and liked it well enough to read all three books.
Can’t wait to read more!
Very fun. Who doesn’t relate to and love a main character who loves chocolate and cupcakes?
Enjoyed the whole series.
This is my second time through the first few books in this series. I absolutely love the character of Jade and love following her through the books as she learns about herself and her magic.
This books are the start of series you will want keep reading so be prepared to buy the rest of the books.
Good read..needs better proof.
Tasty!
Couldn’t put it down. Read books 1 through 3 while traveling. Loved the characters and, let’s face it, totally sympathized with Jade’s chocolate addiction.
This series is awesome! I loved it so much I signed up for the author’s mailing list. I can’t wait to continue reading the other books in this series. The author also has a cookbook that goes along with the books that I will be checking it out.
A fun urban fantasy series. I have continued to read the rest of the series.
I throughly enjoyed all the books and would recommend them to anyone
Found this series amusing until the heroine showed up in leather. It was kind of a “jump the shark” moment for me.
