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.
