ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 28, 2021.

Dream walking has always been exciting—until now. This time, I’ve walked straight into a fallen angel’s nightmare…

Amethyst’s witch magic is strongest when she traverses the gap between dreams and waking. When her cousin Topaz is hunted by a demon determined to take her soul, it is time for these witches to turn the tables on the monster hunting them, and track him through his dreams.

Hellhound shifter Dane is appointed by his pack leader as Amethyst’s protector—much to their mutual disgust. Witches and hellhounds are sworn enemies, which is problematic when they cannot keep their hands off one another.

Amethyst doesn’t need the ongoing distraction of Dane’s attentions. When she finally faces the demon threatening her loved ones, she needs to do it on her own.

The hellhound shouldn’t be able to follow her into the Otherworld, where demon dreams abound—and yet, he does. Now, the enigmatic man who has managed to capture her heart, might end up as dead as everyone else Amethyst cares about.

REVIEW: BEWITCHED IN DREAM is the second instalment in Jen Katemi’s contemporary, adult HELLHOUND PROTECTORS erotic, paranormal/fantasy series focusing on three witches, the Redferne sisters: Topaz, Amethyst and Sapphire. This is Amethyst Redferne, and Hellhound Dane’s story line. The Hellhound Protectors is a spin off from the author’s Blood Fae Chronicles series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Amethyst and Dane) BEWITCHED IN DREAMS picks up shortly after the events of book one BEWITCHED IN BLOOD in which Topaz Redferne has been targeted by Luthor, demon of the Underworld. Topaz escaped death and Luthor wants another soul to even the score, so he sets his sights on Amethyst Redferne. Amethyst needs protection as she sets out on her own, so Kyan, the new Alpha of the Hellhound pack sends his second in command Dane to protect his mate’s cousin. Meanwhile, a fallen angel is threatening to destroy the supernatural order, targeting our heroine as she dream walks in her sleep. Desperate for help, Dane and Amethyst set out to find the Accord Council Headquarters, where they will be met by a supernatural force that is may or may not be helpful to our story line couple. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Dane and Amethyst, and the potential fall-out as a fallen angel sets his sights on our story line couple.

The relationship between Dane and Amethyst begins as guardian and charge when Dane is sent to protect our story line heroine. From the outset the sexual attraction is immediate but with a demon hot on their trail, and a fallen angel determined to destroy the world, Dane and Amethyst must bide their time before taking their relationship to the next level. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters included the return of Topaz and Kyan (Bewitched in Blood), Sapphire Redferne, Summer Fae warrior Aveen, and fallen angel Azriel.

BEWITCHED IN DREAMS is a fast paced, character driven story of obsession and vengeance, family and friendships, fate and love. The premise is dramatic, captivating and engaging; the romance is provocative; the characters are energetic and powerful.

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.
