History Literature / DoraWilkSeries

* CoitusEnsues: Dora and Miron, both after [[TheyDo they finally do]] and after [[spoiler:Miron comes back]].

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: To be on the Council, you've got to be the best - which in magical world means power.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: They can shapeshift whenever they want, although younger ones must do it by full moon, as well. Most are criminals, since their many animal and predator instincts just don't mesh with society, and favor BDSM. Men hold higher position than women. Werewolves are organised into packs, each holding a territory (a city or geographical region in wilder parts of the world). They are ruled by alpha male, aided by his [[TheLancer second-in-command]], beta. Notable pack members include omega, who acts as a negotiator, and lupa, the leading female of the pack. One's rank in the pack depends on one's strength (Jadowska seems to really love AuthorityEqualsAsskicking trope), yet any werewolf (even from outside the pack) can challenge alpha for his position. Such conflicts are solved in official duels and usually end with loser's death. New alpha usually replaces all the important positions in the pack.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: To be on the Council, you've got to be the best - which in magical world means power.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Dora and Miron, both after [[TheyDo they finally do]] and after [[spoiler:Miron comes back]].

* HornyDevils: Both magical and infernal variety. The hellians, incubi and succubi, are only alluded to. The magicals take form of fertility witches. While both -cubi and fertility witches need sex to live, the former put more aspect on sex and the latter on baby-making.

* {{Fanservice}}: ''Loads''. Every sex or kiss scene is quite detailed, most of the characters look young and sexy, and their descriptions are generally CostumePorn. The female characters wear leather, translucent clothes, skin-tight costumes or AbsoluteCleavage.

* BrainlessBeauty: Dora's cover when she goes to an illegal werebeast fight is that of Roman's DumbBlonde "sex toy", complete with AbsoluteCleavage and way too much make-up. She calls the whole thing humiliating, even though no one recognizes her.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: [[invoked]]Illusions Dora leaves in [[spoiler:Albion's]] hideout. On purpose.

* BreakInThreat: Rare instance when it's the good guys who do it. In ''All Stays In The Family'', Dora and her werewolf commando break into [[spoiler:Albin's]] house, find the nesting place (Doraverse vampires sleep during the day) and leave... [[TastesLikeDiabetes super-cute illusions]]. The message behind this is clear: they could stake [[spoiler:Albin]] and [[spoiler: he]] couldn't do anything about it.

* AdultFear: Bogna is terrified that either her son would inherit her magic gifts or magic would hurt him - or both.

** [[spoiler: BiggerBad: Ibrahim and Baal's ex-stalker.]]

The story centers on Theodora "Dora" Wilk, living a double life as a police officer in Toruń and a succubus-like [[WitchSpecies witch]] in its magical counterpart, Thorn. While using her powers to aid her during investigations, she tries to keep herself away from magical FantasyKitchenSink world. The magical world, however, comes to her, as the Council governing Thorn asks her to investigate missing and dead magical creatures. Aided by [[HotAsHell devil Miron]] and his [[HeterosexualLifePartners friend]], [[OddCouple angel]] Joshua, she sets off to find the so-called "Soul Thief", at the same time solving a murder case in the Muggle world. But with world like Thorn, that's just the tip of the iceberg...

* WitchSpecies: While witchcraft can be learned by normal people (called ''czarownice''[[note]] which in regular Polish is synonym for ''wiedźmy'', witches. Books, however, treat both as separate, if similar creatures[[/note]]), it comes naturally for witches, who have magical blood and must "fuel up" by their element to be able to use their magic or actually live. There are two types of witches mentioned: fertility witches (fueled up by sex) and north witches (fueled up by sea and sea breeze), though more are implied.

* InsultToRocks: Dora, upon meeting [[JerkassGod Badb]] again:

* RealityEnsues: While underground fighting arena with trapped shifters sounds glamorous, Grizzly is perpetually skirting the edge of bankrupcy. Constant clandestine movement and dozens of guards needed to watch over his prisoners aren't paying for themselves.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Nobody likes Gajusz, especially in his coven. His popularity boosts (a bit) only when [[spoiler:Albin]] threatens to take over.

* BiTheWay: Dora used to date Nikita and now is with Miron.

** Alina nicknames the injured doe that Bjorn brings to her Disney/{{Bambi}}.

* BadassGrandpa: Lucifer. During the hellish uprising in ''Winner Takes It All'', he almost single-handedly stops rebels' assault.
** Invoked with all archangels, although we haven't seen Gabriel or Michael in action yet.

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Miron was one of currently-classic English poets, but he won't say which one, as he claims that if Dora finds out, he'll NeverLiveItDown.

->''"So let's sum up today's attractions: corpse, more corpses and meeting with a family in mourning.''[{{beat}}] ''Well, well, you sure know how to have fun, Your Bitingness." ''

* ''Złodziej Dusz'' (''Soul Thief'') - Dora, still a police officer at the time, must solve a political HotPotato case - an elderly activist of a very religious RealLife organization dies, apparently murdered, and her so-called friends decide to milk it for all the political worth. At the same time, the Council, Thorn's ruling body, requests Dora to solve mystery of SerialKiller who's killed or kidnapped about a dozen paranormal beings - the eponymous Soul Thief.

* ''Wszystko Zostaje w Rodzinie'' (''All Stays In The Family'') - vampires start committing mass suicides in Gdańsk's coven and Dora's friends ask her to come and help. Right under the nose of local vampire king, who's not very happy about it. On top of that, she-wolves of the local pack try to have her murdered, Baal starts acting funny and Miron proclaims that he "needs more space".
* ''Egzorcyzmy Dory Wilk'' (''Exorcisms of Dora Wilk'') - Dora's {{Muggle}} co-worker calls for her help when dead girls are being found, with odd cuts and glowing symbols of DarkMagic on their bodies. The case quickly turns out to be something much worse and Dora has to face psychopathic magically-empowered serial killer, a demon that decided to make her body his home and byzantine politics of Hell, while at the same time trying to untangle the mess that is Baal's sudden declaration from the last book.

With Dora's six books published, this particular cycle is finished, but the author is planning to create a verse of novel series, with some Dora's sidekicks as main characters. The first of those would be ''Szamański Blues'' (''Literature/ShamanBlues''), focused on Witkacy, and ''Literature/TheGirlFromTheMiraclesDistrict'', about Dora's ex-girlfriend Nikita.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: At the end of ''Winner Takes It All'' Trio sets off to help with some unspecified vampire problem.

** [[CaptainObvious All werewolves can turn into wolves]]. Their goddess, Faoilinara, can do so as well.

* YourVampiresSuck: To ''{{Twilight}}'':

''Dora Wilk Series'' (formal name: ''Witch's Hexalogy'') is UrbanFantasy book series by Polish author Aneta Jadowska, set in [[TheNewTens modern]] Poland, mostly in Toruń and Three-City[[note]] three big cities on Polish coast - Gdańsk (Danzig), Gdynia and Sopot - which are often treated as one because they lie very close to each other and thus have lots of joint administration[[/note]].

->''"So let's sum up today's attractions: corpse, more corpses and meeting with a family in mourning.''[{{beat}}] ''Well, well, you know how to have fun, Your Bitingness." ''

* CommonMarySueTraits: Dora, oh, Dora. Extremely beautiful, with two perfect men at her side, everybody wants her, she gets NewPowersAsThePlotDemands... Jadowska might finally start subverting this with introduction of Varg, who's competent, on heroes' side and can't stand Dora, not to mention that she finally starts ''losing''.

* TookALevelInBadass: Over the course of three books Dora transforms from a regular half-blood northern witch to [[spoiler:quasi-vampire nobility, leader of a werewolf pack, uber-powerful multi-skilled witch with a mental bond to both an angel and a demon]]; Miron, a [[TheDrifter freelancer]] devil who happens to be the boss' grandson becomes a [[spoiler: fire-breathing pyr sharing in the aforementioned mental bond]]; Joshua goes from ShrinkingViolet wingless angel to [[spoiler: a badass GuardianAngel with wings ]]and CoolSword (although the last one was [[ItMakesSenseInContext borrowed]] from ArchangelMichael and returned later). Frankly, the Trio gets new powers and perks OncePerEpisode.

* WorldOfBadass: Yeah, it pretty much comes down to this.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Played straight with Miron, but not with Joshua, despite the fact that both are 350 years old. Justified in Joshua's case - if an angel sleeps with a woman who's fertile, the chances of her getting pregnant are roughly one hundred percent. Joshua would be bound to marry her, and he doesn't want to settle down just yet.
