About this ebook

Read the final book in this steamy paranormal fantasy romance series, perfect for readers who love witches, shifters, magic, evil demons, angels, a paranormal shifter alpha male hero and a kick-ass heroine.

My magic is steeped in darkness…and yet the only thing now standing between my coven sisters and the fallen angel hunting us, is celestial magic born of the light.

Sapphire’s witch magic has always held an edge of darkness, which is why she lives in solitude—to avoid hurting those she loves. But now her sister and cousin are in peril, and it is up to her to draw on her dark magic to save them.

With hellhound shifter Caden by her side, the task shouldn’t be impossible. And yet, facing down a Fallen and his demon followers unleashes far more within Sapphire than she ever knew existed.

Celestial magic—powerful and uncontrolled—now courses through her veins. And if she can’t learn how to harness and control the light magic, she might end up killing everyone she loves, not only in the human realm, but everywhere.

A dark and edgy paranormal fantasy romance series, perfect for fans of K.F. Breene, Linsey Hall, Dannika Dark and Jaymin Eve.

Ratings and reviews

3.75 stars—BEWITCHED IN DARKNESS is the third and final instalment in Jen Katemi’s contemporary,adult HELLHOUND PROTECTORS paranormal/fantasy romance series focusing on three witches, the Redferne sisters: Topaz, Amethyst and Sapphire. This is twenty-five year old witch Sapphire Redferne, and Hellhound Caden’s story line. BEWITCHED IN DARKNESS can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the trilogy in order. The Hellhound Protectors is a spin off from the author’s Blood Fae Chronicles series. SOME BACKGROUND: Topaz Redferne has been targeted by Adriel, demon of the Underworld but Topaz escaped death with the help of the Fae, and Azriel wants another soul to even the score, so he sets his sights on Amethyst and Sapphire Redferne. When Amethyst escaped Azriel’s attempts, Sapphire knows she may be the only hope in stopping Azriel from destroying so many lives. Told from dual first person perspectives (Caden and Sapphire) BEWITCHED IN DARKNESS picks up shortly after the events of book two BEWITCHED IN DREAMS. Sapphire Redferne has always been consider the ‘baby’ of the family; the immature witch with limited powers but something or someone is calling to Sapphire, and our heroine believes she is more darkness than light. Setting out to settle to score with the fallen angel Azriel, Sapphire finds herself with a ‘babysitter’ in the form of Hellhound Caden, a one-time captain in Azriel’s army but Sapphire will quickly discover that her magic is something more than she could have ever imagined. A visit to the Celestials at the Accord Headquarters is about to reveal our heroine’s true powers, powers that are going to be needed to defeat the former angel Azriel. What ensues is the building relationship between Caden and Sapphire, and the potential fall-out as Azriel sets into motion plans to rule the world, using his followers as a means of power. The relationship between Caden and Sapphire begins as an assignment, one that Caden seems less than happy to oblige but Caden is desperate to end Azriel’s reign, and the control the fallen angel has over everyone else. Sapphire was instantly attracted to our story line hero, an attraction that did not go unnoticed by Caden himself. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. All of the previous story line couples plays secondary and supporting characters. Topaz and Amethyst struggle to watch Sapphire set out on her own but with each having their Hellhound protector, it was only a matter of time before Sapphire found her own guardian to love. BEWITCHED IN DARKNESS is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, love and acceptance. The fast paced premise is entertaining and intriguing; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic and stubborn.

I have loved each book which concentrated on each of the sisters in turn and this time it is the turn of Caden and Sapphire and I have loved all the sisters but Sapphire has always been intriguing to me. As with the previous books there is plenty of action, danger and passion and it is a non-stop thrill ride from page 1. Sapphire has always been afraid of her power and, as such, as held herself aloof from everyone that she cares about. This book has her facing those fears and realising just what power she can wield. But will it be too much for her or can she realise her full potential with Caden's help. Wonderfully crafted characters and a roller coaster of a plot make for an exceptional conclusion to the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
