Reminiscing.

To say I'm happy this book was out together is an understatement.

I remember reading these short stories on Meghan's blog, hoping we'd get them as they now are.

Perfectly put together, showing slices of life between the main books.

But, At Just the Right Moment, still had me near too tears. The heartbreak those children went through, evil.

I think this book is a must if you've read all the Adept ones 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 it fills in a few of the blanks 💖💖💖

Moments of the Adept Universe are short stories set in the, you guessed it, the Adept Universe. Get some back stories and some in between stories of our favorite side characters and one main character from the amazing books that Meghan Ciana Doidge has created. There are multiple short stories from the Dowser series and one from the Archivist series.
If you love the Dowser series and the other books from this universe you will truly enjoy this book. This is my second read through of this book.

Like the best chocolate this book is meant to be savored. It means nothing if you haven't read all the books. It fills in tiny little cracks or voids you didn't even know existed. Did I know about Kandy? Yes, but not for sure.. Did I care? Not a whisper. Kandy is just herself like all the adepts. They are all a little quirky. That's fine with me. If I had magic or shifter powers maybe I would be much less reserved.

A series of short stories

Meghan Diana Dodge has written some short stories that give a better understanding of some of the characters in her books. I appreciated the stories about Kandy, they explained a lot about her snarky behavior. I especially liked the story with Burgundy and hope that will eventually be given a storyline. Overall it was a great read.

So good

I sort of got tired of writing how much I enjoy Meghan Diana Douches writing, but it's true. There are 3 I have not read, and eventually I will get to them, but for now I have a new one just released this week.

I enjoyed this collection and now want to go back and re-read everything in order. Thank you for sharing your world.

Awesome

I absolutely adore the words of. Meghan Ciana Doidge. This wonderful collection of moments is a look into the background and current activities of some of my favorite characters.

Loved this book! Its part of her Adept Universe that holds several series. This is several short stories about characters and some pivotal moments in their lives. While you can read as a stand alone, I highly recommend Starting with the Dowser series and working your way through the whole world.

Such fun short stories about beloved characters! There really are no secondary characters in this world because the author puts such thought into each member and builds their background with care. I enjoyed these shorts and feel they enhanced my knowledge of the Adept world.

Moments of delight

I love these short stories that fill in the blanks and give us backstory! All the characters in MCD's universe are so interesting I'm glad to learn a bit more about them.

This is a collection of short stories. My favorite of which are Kandy's origin stories and I love the feisty werewolf even more. They go through 1.5 of the Archivist series. Very good for filling in holes of character's motivations.
