A Magical Shift is book one in the Weres and Witches of Silver Lake by Vella Day.
I picked this up for free through the retailer. There were some interesting things going on with a stocker and then things happening in town that weren't normal.
Unfortunately, the story and characters weren't pulling me in. I really tried to read this, but kept setting it aside to read something else. My main issue was I wasn't connecting with the characters. I didn’t feel the attraction or romance between our leads. The words were there, but the feelings weren't coming through to me.
I eventually just said that’s enough and DNF'd this title at 28%.
Even though A Magical Shift wasn’t the book for me I urge you to give it a shot, especially if the blurb intrigues you. Just because it did not work for me does not mean it won’t for you.

Currently gouging my eyes out with a spoon.
That's how bad this book was.

Isadora Berta is summoned home after honing on her skills as a witch. When she returns home she has no idea that she is about to see her mate and it is someone familiar. Ryerson McKinnon is going to become the next alpha, when he catches Isadora's scent he knows she might be his mate but can he take her as the mate of an Alpha?
There is a lot more to the book especially with Isadora. I thought this was quickly paced and enjoyed the chemistry between Isadora and Ryerson. I liked that you could visualize what was going on with the story. Great read.

A thrilling tale of shifters, witches and changelings. Yes there's some adult only scenes but they are few and far between compared to the actual drama and action played out. Does contain some violence against women that might be a trigger to some but it's not part of the romance...stalker craziness.

There were aspects of this book that I enjoyed. The sexy time scenes were reasonably decent, and I liked that the pack of shifters weren't all wolf-shifters.
I did not like how the female lead was terrific at magic and was proud of her magic and loved using it, but then she gets bitten by the male lead and very shortly after learning that she'll likely lose her powers if she chooses to shift that she'd decide to shift. Also, her life seemed pretty decent as a witch. I don't understand why part way through the book that the attitude towards her family shifts and suddenly she's being welcomed so warmly by the pack of shifters, and her family is an afterthought. Maybe because the author wanted it to be more believable that the female lead (sorry, I can't remember any character's name) would choose to be a shifter instead of a witch? I didn't buy it. It would have been way more believable for her not to choose to shift. Also, I would have liked her to finish off her stalker instead of the male lead... and she could have done it with magic.

DNF. I can deal with insta-love in paranormal romances usually but when the characters don’t understand it themselves and are in denial make it too hard for me to overcome.
