ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 10, 2021
I escaped death once and now the demon is back to claim my soul. The only thing standing between us is a hellhound shifter who sets my body and heart on fire…
Blood witch Topaz should be dead. She evaded the demon monster once before, with the help of the Fae Winter Court. But now the soul collector is back on the hunt and she is firmly in his sights.
Hellhound shifter Kyan’s pack owes the blood witch’s family a debt. He’s there not to kill Topaz, but to protect her from his former Otherworld masters.
But how can she trust the man with the intense green eyes—the man who ignites her body with molten heat and sets her heart fluttering—when the hellhound genes Kyan carries in his veins are the same as the creatures she’s been running from?
Will the man who has stolen her heart, also take her life?

REVIEW:BEWITCHED IN BLOOD is the first instalment in Jen Katemi’s contemporary, adult HELLHOUND PROTECTORS paranormal romance series, set in the author’s BLOOD FAE CHRONICLES world. This is twenty-three year old mage/witch Topaz, and Hellhound shifter Kyan’s story line.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Kyan and Topaz) BEWITCHED IN BLOOD follows Kyan as he is ‘tasked’ to locate and protect our story line heroine but all does not go according to plan when Kyan finds himself injured, and the woman he is supposed to protect, is protecting our story line hero. Hoping to save the woman with whom he will fall in love, Kyan brings Topaz to meet his Pack but Topaz refuses the sanctuary in an effort to locate her cousins, Amethyst and Sapphire, two witches who may also be targeted in the upcoming attack against our story line heroine. What ensues is the building relationship between Kyan and Topaz, and the potential fall-out as Topaz’s past demands reparations and payment for the loss of a soul.
Kyan knows that his true identity may place him in the direct line of fire, an identity that may also threaten the members of his pack. Forced to locate our story line heroine, Kyan is instantly attracted to the woman he believes to be his mate, a woman whose very presence goes against the supernatural order. Topaz suspects she is the target of the monster from H*ll, a monster who has come to claim, for all eternity, our story line heroine but Topaz refuses to give up, and with the help of her cousins, Kyan and his pack, Topaz lives to fight another day.
The relationship between Kyan and Topaz is one of immediate attraction. Kyan’s appearance in Topaz’s life is not by accident but he remains by her side for reasons of his own. Topaz knows there is something different about our story line hero but when secrets are revealed, Topaz must chose between head and heart knowing that their lives hang in the balance. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Topaz cousins Amethyst and Sapphire, as well as Kyan’s Alpha Burley, and demon Luthor.
BEWITCHED IN BLOOD is a quick read; a story of family and relationships, betrayal and power, obsession, magic and control. The fast paced premise is dramatic, intriguing and edgy; the characters are animated and spirited; the romance is energetic and intense. BEWITCHED IN BLOOD ends on a happily ever after-for now-there is still more story to come.
