ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 25, 2021

A steamy fated mates, second chance paranormal romance

My body. My choice. Or at least, it was, until the Fae Winter King hit me with binding magic and insisted I make banshee-human babies. If I refuse, the binding magic will likely kill me.

I have no choice but to comply with my sovereign’s order. Not if I want to live.

But when I meet my fated mate and discover he is no human man, but instead, a mighty dragon shifter, everything changes.

Now I am expecting a beautiful fae-shifter child, and I could not be more excited. Ben and I are headed for our happy-ever-after and I can’t wait to be a mother to his son.

Until the Fae Winter Queen sends our lives into a spiral of horror and destruction with her curse.

Will Ben ever forgive me? Will my frozen heart ever have the chance to thaw?

If you enjoy hot paranormal romance stories containing fae, dragon shifters, fated mates, redemption and second chance romance, then this is the story for you.

Banshee Quest: Renna’s Curse, is both prequel and epilogue to the Blood Fae Chronicles trilogy. This novella can be read as a stand-alone, though the following order is recommended for maximum reading pleasure:

••••••

REVIEW:BANSHEE QUEST : Renna’s Curse is the four instalment and novella in Jen Katemi’s adult, BLOOD FAE CHRONICLES paranormal/fantasy romance series focusing on the hybrid children of Winter Fae Renna. This is banshee Renna and dragon shifter Ben’s story line. BANSHEE QUEST can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: A banshee is part of Irish mythology; a fae or sprite whose keening wail warns of impending death.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Renna and Ben) following two time lines (present day and thirty five years in the past) BANSHEE QUEST follows Winter Fae Renna as she is ordered by the King and Queen of the Winter Fae to personally repopulate the Banshee line with half-human hybrids, as she is one of the few remaining Banshees alive. Sent to the Earth realm, Renna finds herself up close and personal with Ben, a dragon shifter, and the man with whom Renna will fall in love but a curse against our heroine by the Winter Fae queen forces Renna to leave Ben, and embark on a journey to repopulate her kind, a task meant to reinforce the Winter Fae queen’s power and control. Fast forward to present day wherein Renna has been reacquainted with three of her daughters, and is determined to find the man whose heart she destroyed years before.

BANSHEE QUEST is a story of family, loss and acceptance; of revelations and love. The relationship between Ben and Renna begins as an assignment but our heroine never expected to fall in love, let alone with a dragon shifter and her future mate. The fast paced premise is entertaining; the romance is passionate and hot; the characters are powerful, determined, colorful and captivating.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 18, 2021

She is determined to ignore her banshee power… until the magic she despises becomes the only thing standing between death, and life, for herself and everyone she cares about.

Inspector Maewen Jones of the Supernatural Police Division is tough, uncompromising, and focused on being the best human detective she can be. Her banshee half is a curse, not a blessing, and she tries to forget that part exists at all.

When a Fae prince — heir to the Winter Court of Faerie — turns up in her office in the human realm with information about her latest case, Maewen can no longer ignore her magic.

This unlikely pair must work together to bring down a deadly foe threatening chaos and darkness to both the human and Fae realms.

Mae and Rhodri’s passion might heat up the night, but Rho celebrates all magic as a gift. He cannot understand why any Fae – whether hybrid or full-blood — would want to deny their own heritage.

The Fae prince and the human detective will have to dig deep to find the strength to face the darkest battle, not only against a vicious enemy, but to conquer their own hidden demons that the darkness brings to the fore.

••••••

REVIEW:: BANSHEE POWER is the third and final instalment in Jen Katemi’s contemporary, adult BLOOD FAE CHRONICLES erotic, paranormal, fantasy romance series focusing on three Fae/human hybrid sisters: Aleah, Indie and Maewen. This is supernatural inspector and banshee Maewen Jones, and Winter Court prince Rhodri’s story line. BANSHEE POWER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: A banshee is part of Irish mythology; a fae or sprite whose keening wail warns of impending death.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Maewen and Rhodri) BANSHEE POWER continues to focus on the ‘abominations’ and necromancers created by former Queen of the Winter Court Rhiannon,and her consort Targon. In an effort to reclaim the Winter Court throne, and rule all of Faerie, Rhiannon is hoping to capture one or all of the three Banshee sisters but Maewen Jones is the only Banshee left unprotected by a consort or mate, making her an easier target for Rhiannon’s plans. Enter Prince Rhodri, Rhiannon’s son, and the man that will fall in love with our story line heroine. As Maewen, and Rhodri set a plan into motion to end Rhiannon and Targon’s carnage, Maewen is caught unawares and finds herself in the Badlands of Faerie, facing the possibility of a slow agonizing death.

The relationship between Maewen and Rhodri is one of immediate attraction but Maewen is a strong and independent heroine who continues to deny her Fae heritage, and in this Rhodri struggles with his attraction to a woman he believes may also deny him, her love. Fated mates, Maewen will quickly discover that working together with Rhodri is better than working on her own. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include the previous story line couples: Aleah and Luc (Banshee Cry), India and Tarrien (Banshee Song 2): Queen Renna, former Queen Rhiannon and her consort Targon, as well as Rhodri’s long suffering father King Tryppton.

BANSHEE POWER is a story of family and relationships; power and control. There are moments of passion and love, heart break and loss, revelations and acceptance. The premise is compelling; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are spirited and strong.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 7, 2020

Her banshee song is her weapon… will it be enough to save those she loves?

My voice is my gift and my weapon.
As a banshee, I carry the song of life and death within me.

Now, crazed, magical beasts want my blood, and my true fae name, or so he says.
A warrior from Faerie’s Winter Court has come to protect me from this supposed supernatural threat.

The sexy fae won’t relent, says his heart is frozen. No chance.
With every kiss, heat rises and ice melts, and I forget everything, but fire and desire.

But now, I need that winter warrior’s protection more than anything.
With no training, no allies, and nowhere to go, I’m on my own.

My voice isn’t enough to protect myself or the ones I love.
They’re about to drain me of my blood, my life.

And I have nothing to save me, but my love.
My warrior.
Is it too late, for us both?

•••••••

REVIEW:BANSHEE SONG is the second instalment in Jen Katemi’s contemporary adult BLOOD FAE CHRONICLES erotic, paranormal/fantasy series focusing on the hybrid offspring( part human / part fae) of Lady Renna of the Fae. This is banshee Indigo (Indigosturianawella), and winter warrior Tarrien. BANSHEE SONG can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalment is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tarrien and Indigo) BANSHEE SONG follows Winter warrior Tarrien as he is tasked by Lady Renna to guard and protect our story line heroine but Indigo wants nothing to do with supernatural protection until an ‘abomination’ of hybrid ‘wear and human’ targets our heroine for capture and control. What ensues is the quickly building relationship between Tarrien and Indigo, and the fall-out as Indigo finds herself imprisoned in a world she knows nothing about.

Indigo has only ever met her mother once in her life, and as such knows very little about the life and culture of the mythical Fae but our heroine knows she is a Banshee, and uses her voice to entertain the crowds but when death is imminent, our heroine is unable to control the cries, cries that warn of death and dying. Tarrien knows that to protect Indigo is to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love but Tarrien finds himself struggling in the aftermath of an attack wherein someone more powerful is controlling the behind the scenes.

The relationship between Tarrien and Indigo is one of immediate attraction but Indigo refuses Tarrien’s help and order of protection. Tarrien battles between head and heart knowing to get involved with Indigo could mean losing his ability to remain powerful and cold. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Indigo’s friend and assistant Dreya; Prince Rhodri; former Queen Rhiannon; Tarrien’s father, as well as Indigo’s mother Lady Renna.

BANSHEE SONG is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family, relationships and love.The fast paced premise is exciting and engaging; the romance is captivating; the characters are colorful and energetic.

BANSHEE CRY (Blood Fae Chronicles #1) by Jen Katemi

ebook only 99¢: Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 9, 2020

This banshee will do anything to save those she loves. Even climb into bed with her enemy.

A banshee without a voice is damn near useless, right?
I should know. I am one. At least, I’m half-banshee, and I’m guessing it’s my human half who failed my dad all those years ago, when the vamps arrived and tore him apart.
I tried to call a warning, to sing of death in the way of my kind.
But no one heard my broken four-year-old voice.

Now all these years later, there’s a vamp on my front doorstep, begging for help.
And despite the fact that he’s the hottest thing I’ve ever laid eyes on and his blood sings to mine in a way I’ve never experienced, I remember the past.
And all I want to do is stake him. Right through his cold, dead heart.

But he’s asking for my assistance in ridding the world of a supernatural curse.
If we don’t work together, this unsuspecting world and everything I know and love could be gone.
Destroyed, just like my father.
And this time, I’m not going to let that happen.
This time, I’ll do anything to be heard, even without a banshee cry.
This time, I’ll need to climb into bed with my enemy.

BANSHEE CRY is the first in Jen Katemi’s brand-new BLOOD FAE CHRONICLES paranormal romance series. Each book features faeries, humans, vampires, shifters, witches and other creatures of the supernatural realm. The series is set in a world full of magical realism and steamy desire, and each story delivers it’s own happy-ever-after ending. The series is best read in order.

REVIEW: BANSHEE CRY is the first instalment in Jen Katemi’s contemporary, adult BLOOD FAE CHRONICLES erotic, paranormal romance series. This is twenty-nine year old, half-Fae/ half-human banshee Aleachiarsiwella aka Aleah, and two-hundred and eight six year old, vampire Luc Durand’s story line.

NOTE: A banshee is part of Irish mythology; a fae or sprite whose keening wail warns of impending death.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Aleah and Luc) BANSHEE CRY follows in the aftermath of the appearance of an injured vampire at Aleah’s front door. Knowing that, years before, vampires had killed her beloved father, Aleah is reluctant to offer help but something about Luc Durand stirs deep within our story line heroine. Luc Durand is a member of the supernatural police force, and as such is searching for a group of rogue ‘supes’ who are targeting both humans and supernaturals alike. An attack against her neighbors and friends finds Aleah on the defensive but it is the appearance and aid of a surprising foe that reveals more abut Aleah’s past than she could have ever imagined. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Aleah and Luc, and the potential fall-out as Aleah is targeted for who and what she is.

Approximately twenty five years earlier, vampires had attacked and killed the only parent she ever knew, and in this, our heroine is cautious and hesitant about helping the injured vampire. With little knowledge about her mother or her own abilities as a member of the Fae, Aleah battles between head and heart, and the less than perfect powers of her Banshee wail.

Luc Durand is a vampire who lost his maker years before. As a member of the supernatural police force it is Luc’s duty to hunt down the rogue supernaturals who are targeting and destroying so many lives.

The relationship between Aleah and Luc begins acrimoniously as Aleah continues to struggle with the death of her father, at the hands of a supernatural being. Aleah’s attraction to Luc is measured equally by Luc’s attraction to Leah but it is the scent of her blood that pushes Luc to want to claim Aleah as his own. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include Renna and Tarrien, two members of the Winter Court Fae, as well as Aleah’s friend Laura. Tarrien and Indigo’s story is next in Banshee Song.

BANSHEE CRY is a fast paced, imaginative and spicy story; a dramatic and intense tale that reveals some of the background and history that have led our couple to the here and now.
