Not only do I love my hot paranormal fantasy romances starring yummy Alpha men, but I am now having so much fun writing my clean cozy mysteries set in Witch's Cove, Florida. The star of the show? Iggy, who is a 9-lb talking pink iguana.

I've been writing for twenty-one years and have a few other aliases. I hope you enjoy all my different series.

I love hearing from readers!! You can contact me at velladayauthor@gmail.com.

There are 4 stories from 4 different series in this book.

Awakened By Flames Hidden Realms of Silver Lake Tells the story of Finn, a wolf shifter, who has been dreaming about his mate for years. He just thought she was a dream although hoping he;d meet his mate because of that dream and seeks help. Eventually he is sent to a witch who tells him yes his dream mate is real and she;ll help him go to the realm where she is at. There he lives an adventure that changes his world and life.

A Magical Shift Weres & Witches of Silver Lake This is the story of Rye, the soon to be alpha of the wolf clan, and Isadora,Izzy, a witch. She;s spent the last four years in Europe learning her craft. One day she;s in Scotland practicing when the Goddess Naliana sends her a message to return home. She heads to her vehicle and notices pawprints and then car tire prints and combined with the feeling she had been watched she gets uneasy but snaps out of it to head home back to America. She's been home for a few days when she;s asked to perform a crystal clearing on the future alpha. When Rye sees her he experiences such attraction that he hopes she doesn;t notice. He asks her out for that night. They enjoy themselves and hope to plan more outings. The next morning she is accosted by the wolf who has followed her from Scotland. Life takes a good turn, her attraction to Rye, and a bad turn, the Scottish wolf intent on making her his.

AN UNEXPECTED DIVERSION Hidden Hills Shifters Chey is a leopard shifter and has been given a three month deadline of finding a mate to lead his pack. To her consternation he has chosen the most pathetic male in his pack to hook her up with. So she;s out one night with her bff when she finds a new male, a human. She's is drawn to him as he to her. They come together and for a few days they enjoy each other;s company. She invites Storm to her family;s ranch and after her ride the idiot leopard shifter her dad chose for her and spills the beans. Poor Storm is totally flummoxed. Life gets sidetracked for a while and interesting developments occur that totally throw both Shay and Storm off .

Training their Mate In this story we meet Dante and Trax, two werewolf brothers, and Liz, their mate. Liz is on a mission to kill Harvey Couch because his actions against her mother lead her mom to kill herself. She insinuated herself into his business at least for the day. She puts a drug into his coffee but is totally confused as to why he isn;t unconscious. Then she leaves for the day. That;s when she is almost killed but is saved by Dante and his brother Trax. They take her first to a doctor then to their home. Liz is unable to figure out why she is so drawn to Dante and is very leery of Trax. Then life gets an unexpected boost in the romance department intermingled with danger.

These stories are all beginnings to a series and each will draw you in and keep you enthralled.

I already owned and read 3 of the books in this set, but they were worth reading again. I love Vella's books.
A wolf and a dragon from different worlds, seems impossible? Well it is only a small wrinkle in this love story, Kaleena and Finn, find a way.
Liz wants to take revenge for her mother buts ends up needing rescued. Trax and Dante rescue her, and Trax believes she is his mate. How will he break it to her and covience her that she now is to mate to ware wolves. Yes I said wolves, Trax and Dante will share her, love her and protect her. If they can keep her alive and get her to agree.
Izzy a witch, always hiding her powers and Ryerson an alpha wolf are hit by the mating urge, how to keep it under control so he can win her heart. First he has to find out who is trying to kill her and keep her safe. Welcome to Silverlake where love is doing difficult but rewarding event.
Cheyenne must find love and marry in four months or her father the alpha will make her marry a man she can't stand. She is attracted to Storm and becomes involved, but he is human. How can she make her dad back off and make Storm believe she is not toying with him but serious.
I suggest you get this then buy each series in boxed sets as you will want to read them all.

This is a superb collection of paranormal stories by the best selling author, Vella Day. If you haven't read any paranormal stories and have a good imagination then I would certainly recommend this set to you.  They are all very well written with fantastic storylines that give you a rich flavour of what the paranormal genre is partly about.  The four stories included are :-

HIDDEN REALMS OF SILVER LAKE - Awakened By Flames

WERES AND WITCHES OF SILVER LAKE - A Magical Shift

HIDDEN HILLS SHIFTERS - An Unexpected Diversion

PACK WARS - Training Their Mate - this is my favourite of the four books included and is concerned by two wolf shifters who find their mate who is a human. But she is their Fated Mate so no other will do. They just have to persuade her.  All these books are the first i a series so give you a great insight as to what to expect. All very well written, full of intrigue, passion, mystery, secrets and love.    I have read all of the pack war series and loved it very much.  The Hidden Hills Shifters are my second favourite and will sweep you away on their secrets and passion too.  I always look forward to Vella's stories and I hope this may entice some of you to try her books too.  I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED - get your copy now!

Starter Set-Paranormal Romance: The first books in four of my Paranormal series by Vella Day

All these beginnings in one place, so, what more could a reader want?

With four of the best novels I’ve read in this starter set, I eagerly sampled each series before deciding where I wanted to continue first – and it was an extremely difficult choice, as I have a need to read each, and every, one of these series’.

The set contains;

Awakened by Flames
A Magical Shift
An Unexpected Diversion
Training Their Mate

Paranormal, magical alpha males with set ideas of what will happen, combine with independent feisty females who are opinionated so you get a wonderous adventure selection. Well written, with charismatic and realist, familiar, characters these novels will get you excitedly awaiting the next. A must-read for any romantic paranormal fanatic. Just, wonderful.

A collection of 4 stories - all from the same universe, but playing out in different worlds, that partly do not know others exist.
The main actors are shifters, who are partly imbued with magic. The stories together form a description of this universe and describe the interconnecting links, which bind the worlds together for the reader, with adventures bringing a hero from one world to another.
But mostly these are stories of shifters finding their mates fate has destined them, but makes it really difficult to be together.

Entertaining and thrilling at times, funny at times it is the right mix for a relaxing day or weekend with a book.

This is a great set of shifter romance starter books!💕🐲🐺🐆🐺💕

This set includes four books that are each the start of a series about shifters. Each book and series is really good and it was hard to pick one for this review but I finally chose An Unexpected Diversion, which is the first book in the Hidden Hills Shifters series.💞🐆🔥💞

Cheyenne is a cheetah shifter who has been given the ultimatum by her father to find a husband by Fall or he will pick one. The problem is that she has the worst luck with men and her dad is the alpha of their clan. Enter Storm, the new doctor in town... and the heat between them is fiery!💖😍💖

This is an awesome set of entertaining shifter reads! I love boxed sets for the variety and generally the kindness on my book budget - this set offers both. One thing that was really fab about this set, aside from being well written, fast paced and steamy, is the fact that all the series each book showcases are found in the same 'world'. So although they are all completely different characters and have different challenges, the rules are consistent and it gives the books much better depth. It also kept me glued to my reader ;) So, if you're looking for a fun and steamy intro to 4 different Vella Day series, I highly recommend this set.

I had read Ms. Day before but this really made me want to read even more of her work. She had a diverse set of characters including shifters of all kinds along with witches, gods and alternate worlds. She covers the spectrum of sweet romance to more erotic of MFM, so if you are not into that you can just skip that story. All of the stories do have action some more than others and all of the men are extremely alpha. Can not wait to read more of her work.
These stories are the first in several series and most are interconnected but separate in their own right. I highly recommend it.

This box set is absolutely a must have. As always well written stories with a great storylines and plots. It contains amazing stories that has a lot of chemistry and passion in them. If you enjoy romances that offer plenty of sizzling heat, dirty naughtiness and a taboo edge you can not go wrong with this very entertaining and enjoyable collection.

This is a great collection by Vella Day. She brings four books together in this set. Each book is the first in a new series,has their own hot couple with their own story to tell. I love her writing .. she brings life to her characters and pulls you into the story as if you're there. I've read each book as they came out and loved them all. It's great to have them in one place. I would recommend this set.

This is a collection of shifter books that is such a great read especially for lovers of shifters and even for people who are starting out in the shifter paranormal romance genre. This gives a great mix of dragons, wolfs and all written by a great auther. Vella is such a good auther and I have read quite a few of her books and have loved them all.

This is a four story box set. Each is the first book in individual stories by the author. All the stories are well written in their own way. The main male characters are all Alpha men. The female characters are strong in their own way and are not whiny. The supportive characters are likable. The evil doers, you will love to hate. Each plot flows well the story. I would recommend this box set.

I received a copy of this for a fair and honest review. This was a good start to four series. There is a couple among them that I would like to continue. I will have to look into those for the future. This is a great way to introduce an author to new readers. I love this and would like to see other authors do this sort of thing.
