Champagne, Misfits, and Other Shady Magic (Dowser Book 7) Kindle Edition

by Meghan Ciana Doidge (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,279 ratings
I had everything I’d ever wanted — a successful business with a second bakery in the works, a sexy fiance who I adored, and good friends who loved to laugh almost as much as I did. So of course it couldn’t possibly last. Unfortunately, this time the trouble was homegrown in Vancouver, threatening my own backyard and those who were under my protection — whether they wanted to be or not. I was, after all, the wielder of the instruments of assassination. Apparently, cutesy cupcakes and being nice only stretched so far.

Champagne, Misfits, and Other Shady Magicis the seventh 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).

    5.0 out of 5 stars More perfection added to this great series
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018

    I love this series, and this book added perfectly to it. I love the way Meghan splits the series up in groupings of 3 so it's a new 'big bad' every 3 books instead of just 1 protagonist being worked up. It's like a fresh new storyline being carried over and built on every 3 books (this being book 7, so a new chronicle in Jades storyline). This universe she has created doesn't get old.
    It's great that we're able to be introduced to new spin-off characters with their own story lines. I'm exited to see what comes of some particular new characters that were introduced in this book. It was also nice to have a reunion of sorts after the fallout of what happened in the Reconstructionist spin-off series that was recently concluded by our talented author.
    And a side note: Kett, who has been a constant in this series and always had a piece of my heart, and he stole a little bit more of it by seeing how much of his heart belongs to Jade by being vulnerable enough to show how much her opinion of him matters to him. After everything that has happened to him, I'm looking forward to seeing a little bit more of his humanity shine through in the series.
    This supernatural world created it our modern world is a perfect balance. I love this series, and I will be loyal to it for life.

    It was good, probably necessary, but this book was mostly set up for future adventure. It was still worth reading, though. You just have to focus on the detective work- the mystery- and not expect too much action until the end.

    I never write reviews but I feel compelled to write one for this book. I have read all the books in the dowser series and love them all. This book was not an exception. Each book in the series has been full of adventure, snark, witty commentary and wonderful characters. I haven't read the oracle or reconstructionist novels, so i felt a smidge lost when it came to Kett and what he has been up to, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment. I loved this story line and the ending. I can't wait for the next book. It definitely left me wanting more!

    Another great story with possible new baddies. Jade has her engagement party. Her Gran is trying to manipulate her and her power. Gran is not always the good guy. The book does not resolve at the end, but it is fabulous.

    Meghan usually writes her stories in three episodes, so this lays a lot of background. What is fun is that all of the important characters make an appearance. There is action, humor and fun. Warning, this is not a series that can be picked up in the middle, so start from book 1, it is well worth the investment in time.

    I loved this book. all the power that Jade was controlling was so badass. I loved how she was able to fight for those she was protecting and had to kick a lot more ass and this one than the previous ones. I can't wait to see what happens next. I think I should go back now and read all the other books because I feel like I miss something and if I read them in sequence I can get the whole story as of now, but this one was by far my favorite. I love the character that Jade has become, I love the enforcer that candy has. I'm a little confused about Ketts role and that's why I feel I should go back and read the other books again get a little bit more understanding on what's going on with him. But I like the relationship that has developed between the Fantastic Four is what I'd called them

    Another interesting read in the Dowser universe. Good story but not as engaging as the previous six installments. Still worth the read if you're invested in the characters. Lots of Kandy in this one of you're a fan like me. If you haven't read the other Jade novels then this is not the one to start the adventures.

    Jade is back! The author has the gift of creating strong, interesting characters and then embroiling them in outstandingly unique and creative adventures. Every one of the books in this series grabs you from the start and keeps you enthralled to the very end. My only regret is that I finish them too quickly because I can never put them down.

    This series of books are great. Who could want more than cupcakes and elves, vampires, werewolves ... you name it they are in it. Great for taking you away from the drudge of what has been a grotty time - ultimate escapism. My only complaint is that they are not long enough & I keep having to buy the next one, and the next...you get the picture ;)

    As always Meghan Ciana Doidge delivers another entertaining read. I love her books but the Dowser series is definitely a favourite. The only downside, if you can call it that, of her books are that once you start reading you don’t want to stop.
