Banshee Cry: A Steamy Paranormal Vampire Romance

fast paced, imaginative and spicy

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.
