What a unique and fascinating twist on paranormal romance, witches and shifters. I love a good suspenseful story and combined with a thrilling adventure and I’m hooked. This is my second book from this author and she doesn’t disappoint in writing fast paced stories with fun and interesting characters and plots that suck you in from the first page.
Asher – swoon – is a dark alpha male hero who’s set on revenge and grieving from the death of his family. I loved his transformation during the book. At first he was an ass but as you learned his past it made sense. He’s a HOT hero, part bad boy and part protective alpha in charge of his pack. His top priority is ensuring the survival of his pack.
Valeria is a witch, a caster who is responsible for removing evil threats and protecting her kind but when she’s forced to face the truth and reality the adventure truly begins. She’s a strong heroine with her own mind and I loved her character’s struggles. She was real and I enjoy that.
On one fated night Asher and Valeria meet and the fireworks prove it’s no coincidence. What follows is a mysterious and heartbreaking series of events that keep the reader guessing for a good portion of the book. Alliances are made and broken and the enemy isn’t exactly who they appear to be. So well done and written, I couldn’t put it down. Enough heat and romance kept me riveted.
I’m really looking forward to the next book and will definitely read any sequels. Highly recommended for fans of paranormal romance and shifter stories. 5 stars from me!

Loved this book and couldn’t put it down!
Shape-shifters, hot love and a strong main characters – all woven together for a gripping story.
Can’t wait to read book 2.
Another great read from this talented author. A thrilling story of good versus evil. The magic, spells, and shifting blended together beautifully making the book an exciting read from the very start. Loved everything about it, but especially the slow build into the relationship between Asher and Valeria. It was almost infuriating to see the attraction between them going unheeded for several chapters.
Not only is the story a real page turner, but the writing style is excellent too. Keeps you on the edge of your seat with the scene descriptions and interesting characters. Really looking forward to the next book.
Broken Magic was the first book that I’ve read from India Kells and it will not be my last!! In fact, I can’t wait until the next book in the series is released!
Valeria is a witch whose father is the Chief Enforcer, Lionel Lancaster. As such, he is charged with protecting the beings of the otherworld and our heroine is following in her father’s footsteps. She is out on an assignment when she meets Asher, a werewolf. The chemistry between these two are immediate, but not allowed.
After a very unfortunate event, Valeria is on the run and Asher is seeking revenge against the Lancaster family. He happens to stumble upon her and decides to capture her.
If you enjoy paranormal, this is a story that you do not want to miss!! India Kells gives the readers everything needed to create an experience filled with some heartache, sexual tension, and a few twists and turns. This is absolutely a 5 star read and I would recommend it to anyone.
Oh my! Great wild read with a great ending. Quite satisfying. I loved the plot and the characters. A really great read.
This was a no brainer for me as I have a weakness for multi- shifter and mixed contemporary fantasy. Valeria was a strong willed heroine in the true sense of the word, the author took time to develop her character not making her snarky or bitchy. Asher, was the ultimate alpha male werewolf, but without being a sexist moron. I found myself rooting for both characters throughout. Interesting and unique plot that twisted and turned. Loved this writer’s style
This is the story of Valeria Lancaster, we begin with Valeria, as the next generation of the most powerful family of witches in the area, she has a lot to live up to, but also needs to work harder than anyone else to prove that she is worthy of carrying the family name.
When we first see her, she is preparing to go out on a hunt with her fellow Enforcers, to find a pack of werewolves who are afflicted with a virus and have become dangerous, she checks her weapons, adjusts her coat and starts to feel her magic surging in her body and tingling in her fingers as the rest of the team arrive. As they prepare to leave, she is talking with her fiance and trying not to think about her responsibilities, however, just as they are about to leave, something doesn’t feel right and Valeria hangs back, so she leaves the circle just before the transportation spell is cast.
Valeria makes her way into the surrounding forest and for hours walks a path she is unaware of, but her feet guide her where she should be going, this is when she finds a clearing in the trees and casts an invisibility spell so that as long as she stays downwind, she should be able to avoid detection by the shifters. She sees two people entering the clearing and as she hears the mumbles of the conversation, one leaves, she can feel the one left behind is a werewolf and she wonders whether this is the infected wolf she is there to hunt, after all it isn’t that far from the Stonelake pack’s territory. She is detected by the wolf and so reveals herself to him and checks his eyes for signs of the infection, there aren’t any, but she can see that he is injured and as she approaches him, she only wants to help, the wolf however, has other ideas as it is an Enforcer who has injured him. When he goes to attack her as she gets distracted looking for any signs of other enforcers, she is surprised instead when he kisses her! Then he sees someone behind Valeria and things turn deadly, so Valeria sends a burst of energy at him, which makes him fly back into a tree, but as she turns round, she is knocked unconscious by a blow to the back of her head.
When she wakes up, all she knows is that she is in unbearable pain and that her mother is by her side, she asks about her fiance and finds that he was killed in the hunt, she is beside herself with grief and when her father blames her for it, she is distraught and lost to the movements of those around her. It is when she goes into the forest to perform a memory spell to figure out what happened when she realises that her magic is broken and has become destructive, so destructive, that one night in her sleep she injures her mother, when her father comes in to see what has happened, he tells her that her mother is dead and that she needs to flee until he can figure out how to counteract this curse of broken magic and that is exactly what she does and remains undetected for two years until somehow, the werewolf from the woods finds her and rescues her from jumping off a bridge.
This encounter is where Valeria’s life is about to change again, can she figure out why her magic is broken and why this werewolf has rescued her, only to lock her up and demand to know why she killed his sister, but as their paths intertwine, will either of them know what the future will hold, or what their places are within it are, or will the answers they are both seeking be the ones that they want to hear.
I absolutely love this wonderful story where all sorts of magical beings reside in this enchanted world that India has created. India weaves magical spellbinding stories with wonderful characters and unlikely pairs finding love through magic and mayhem. There is Witches, Vampires, Werewolves, Dragons and more. There is a lot going on in the story that kept me engrossed. I got lost in it and couldn’t put it down I mean who needs sleep when there is an entire world to get lost in. I was invested in their lives and the plight they faced. There is action and drama, mystery and intrigue that keeps you enthralled because India’s words make you imagine and feel like you are a part of this bewitching story. The romance aspect story was enough on its own but the twists and plot made for one explosive and exceptional piece of work.
This is an exciting paranormal read. You have a witch, Valeria, who’s magic goes wonky after an encounter with a werewolf, Asher. There is action, suspense, magic spells, shifters, more witches, fae, a vampire a dragon and forbidden love.
