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.

Because when the dead werewolves started showing up, it all unraveled—except for the cupcake part. That’s a universal truth.
