My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Life’s a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen is a delightful little story. Great characters, unique situations and a really sweet love story. There is a very hot and steamy adult situation that some might find uncomfortable, but any book that can make me laugh out loud is a book worth the read.

Life’s a witch, what a perfect title to grab your attention.
Well, Carrie Pulkinen has, yet again, out done herself. She has, again, created another soul grabbing masterpiece.
Honestly, the amount of creativity and feels Carrie puts into her stories and characters leaves me completely speechless. It is more than just words on a page but a sense of realness and perfectly done story telling. This story had me on the edge of my seat, burying my face into my hands while I laughed and fanning myself.
But seriously – it yanks you in with a ride or die friendship, recovering demons that go to AA meetings, a ‘kind of’ witch that is more than just what she can or can not cast, a spontaneous lust turned into love… what more could you ask for?
You will not regret diving into this gem. My only warning is this story will grab you and hold you captive until the very last page.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the story of Crimson Oliver, a witch who just can’t catch a break with her magic and everytime she casts a spell, something goes wrong and Mike Cortez, a demon in rehabilitation who makes deals with the devil and owns a restaurant all at the same time.
The story starts with Crimson as she is about to go in front of the Council of Elders of her coven, which is in direct relation to her latest magical mishap. As the Council convenes and Rosemary takes her place as head priestess, she asks one of the other witches to read out the charges against Crimson which, if they are found to be true, will .end up with Crimson having her power bound and a life in exile away from other witches for the rest of her life and Crimson has no intention of letting that happen as she is not guilty of any of the charges and given the result of her questioning, it looks like that is exactly what will happen, that is until she invokes the goddess and the right to challenge the high priestess to a magic battle and the goddess deems that it shall go ahead, much to the amazement of the rest of the coven, especially Rosemary. It is decided that the two witches have one month to prepare for the challenge and the winner takes the role of High Priestess and the loser has their magic bound and must live in exile, but Crimson is sure that Rosemary only rules the coven without their respect and decides that there must be more to Rosemary than meets the eye and that she will both find out and win the challenge, all she has to do is practice, practice and practice some more.
Next we meet Mike as he is about to go to his meet with a group of like minded demons and remembers to take his angel cake with him, a way to sweeten the evening, he also knows that he is late with his freedom payment when his hand starts to burn and his spine tingle, a sign that the connection between himself and Satan is itching for it to be paid. As the meeting winds up, Mike heads back home, he passes a few guys who he could read and see whether there could be a deal to strike, but he figures that it isn’t worth sending Satan yet another testicle as payment of the deal, he already has enough of those! He also sensed no malice in them and as he normally only made deals with those who would already be damned anyway, he passes on the opportunity, however, as soon as he gets past the restaurant downstairs and into his apartment, Satan is waiting for him, although it isn’t because he is late on a payment it is because he has a job for him, he is in need of a new assistant as his jealous girlfriend has gotten rid of the last one and he will only accept a witch, if Mike can manage it, then he can be free, so now the only thing Mike has to do is find one.
As Crimson and Mike decide to go to the same bar for different reasons and unbeknown to the other, they run into each other and the old flame ignites between them, but soon they have to go their separate ways before one of them decides to do something they would regret. The pull between them is too strong and they decide that they want to see where things will lead, but there are mishaps along the way and when they talk about it, they accidentally make a deal and Mike manages to damn Crimson when she agrees to give her body and soul to the devil in exchange for winning the contest against Rosemary.
This is a romp from New Orleans to Hell and back again, but will everything turn out to plan, or will history repeat itself? The only way to find out is to join the ride and find out.

2020 has been unreal. And if you’re anything like me, reading (which was already a passion) has become a wonderful escape. And you can definitely do this with Carrie Pulkine’s New Orleans Nocturne series. Light, funny with a touch of angst and a good romance, Ms. Pulkinen has quickly become a go-to author for me.
Life’s a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) is my latest read by this fun author and I was not disappointed. Now, keep in mind, all of Ms. Pulkinen’s books can be read as stand-alone reads but you will get oh so much more enjoyable if you read the books in order. One of the good things about doing this is that Ms. Pulkinen keeps the story moving through each book. There aren’t any “story gaps” between the books (which is AWESOME). You’ll be engaged in each story from the very beginning and pick up more and more details and nuances in each book, so yeah, read them ALL. But back to my review…
This is the 3rd book in this fabulous series and follows Crimson and Mike. And what a pair these two are! The sparks fly between these two from the get-go (and it’s not because Crimson had another spell go awry, lol). I fell in love with these 2 characters so much! I think they might be my favorite couple in this series so far. The shenanigans and circumstances that these two find themselves in are so crazy but hysterical. And the romance – WHEW!! Steamy but sweet! With the added benefit of the wonderful sub-characters and great story, this book was a true pleasure to read. I will definitely be picking up the next book in this series!

Life’s a Witch is book 3 in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. This series is hilarious and I highly recommend it. As you can see from the titles- the author has a great sense of humor. Super natural is not my normal genre of book, but I love these. They are about witches, vampires, demons, etc but they are not dark and super paranormal. They take place in New Orleans in modern day and are so light hearted and funny. This book focuses on Crimson and Mike, a witch and a devil’s advocate. It does contain Crimson’s friends, characters from the first two books, but their involvement is so minimal is it is not necessary to read in order. You could start with any book and go back and read the others if you wanted, or read as a stand alone. I love the author’s writing style, she is great at describing the situations and people. She also had me in near tears several times due to laughing so hard. There is a scene that takes place in the bathroom after too many bean burritos- I was dying! Highly recommend this series, its a quick read and it will keep you engaged from start to finish.

Shift Happens by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Shift happens – what a perfect title for this tremendously well written story. When I first read this title, it sparked my interest. After reading the first chapter… I. Was. Hooked.
The story revolves around Sophie, the ‘kind of ‘ witch, who is at the wrong place at the wrong time. She stumbles into Trace, who accuse her of something that becomes a hilarious misunderstanding. As the story continues to unravel, I couldn’t help but fail in love with these characters. I cheered them on, I laughed and my jaw dropped from the amazing one liners.
This story that Carrie Pulkinen has created will not disappoint. It has everything from relatable characters that will sneak their way into your heart, the right amount of romance, a pinch of adventure, mystery, tension and a dash of perfectly executed puns and one liners.
If you’re thinking about reading this, do yourself a favour and do it. But make sure to clear your schedule because once you start, you won’t be able to stop.

Shift Happens by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a romance with a bit of something extra, a dash of fur and fangs set in New Orleans and the French Quarter. Sophie Burroughs is a lady who loves animals, she has a dog walking business, a grandmother who was a witch and the who would love nothing more than to be one too and a best friend who is a vampire, but she also wants to get together for a night of passion with a werewolf. Trace Thibodeaux just happens to be a werewolf trying to find his best friend and relive his pack from the curse that they have been under since he disappeared, he is tall, handsome with a bad boy attitude and he doesn’t want to make repeat mistakes while trying to do this.
We meet sophie when she is with her best friend Jane trying desperately to work a spell to get a stain out of her shirt which was written by her grandma in her grimoire, but try as she might and in various states of undress, she is not succeeding, so when the frustration of it all gets to her and she shoves the grimoire to the floor, the last thing she was expecting to hear was that Jane had found a prophecy on the last page of the grimoire. Thinking that it was about her deceased dad on first glance, but when they read through it again, Jane realises that it’s actually about Sophie and that some parts of it have already happened, she has arrived in New Orleans and the other day a werewolf bit her at a halloween party! It is the next couple of lines which are both ominous and strange, but no more ominous or strange as her not being able to join the local coven and there being no uproar about the bite in the first place when it is illegal.
Trace is following Sophie, she is under surveillance by the pack because they think she is the one who is forcing the shifters to uncontrollably change form one form to the other and as one of the only unregistered witch, she is the most likely culprit, especially when he sees her walking 5 male dogs together on leashes, but he cannot hide the feelings her scent triggers in him, which is why he bit her in the first place at the party and he can already smell his scent mixing with hers as the transition to werewolf is starting, which is a massive problem and he has to rectify it because if she does complete the transition, her inborn ability with animals will make her a strong wolf and a risk with her ability to possibly control other alpha’s. He cannot ignore his feelings no matter how hard he tries and while he is following her as she finishes her rounds and drops the dogs off home, he nearly loses her, but sees her going into a coffee shop.
Sophie enters the cafe, she has had the feeling that someone was watching her, but couldn’t see anyone there, however, and thinks about the guy from the party, why the witches won’t help her and how this coffee shop is run by a witch, but she hasn’t yet broached the subject with er, however, she is jolted from these trains of thought when she sees Trace outside the window, she forgets all about the coffee and goes outside to find him. She doesn’t find him, however, she does find a dog in a muddy pothole and thinking it might be lost, decides to take him home to give it a bath and look for it’s owner the next day. What she doesn’t know is that it actually is Trace and that he has been forced to shift into his wolf form and that she is going to take full advantage of this opportunity to go into Sophie’s house and look for his friend, but the plan backfires on both of them when he shifts back and Sophie has to call in Jane as a reinforcement.
What will this pair do now, will they be able to resist their urges, or will they be torn apart by the two worlds they live in?

Shift Happens: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy is the 2nd book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. This is not your average paranormal series. These books are hilarious and light hearted. While you don’t HAVE to read the books in order, the story line does continue and characters and timeline overlap. And they are great, so do yourself a favor and read them all. I am already working on book 3. This book is the story of Sophie and Trace. Sophie is the best friend of Jane (from book 1). Sophie moved to New Orleans to follow her bff, and to follow a fortune teller prophesy. She believes she is a witch, since her grandmother was a witch. She wants to hook up with a werewolf, but that wish came with a little too much baggage attached. A were bites her by mistake, and it is the start of a whole series of problems. But its not all bad, it does bring her teamed up with Trace- smokin hot cop by day, werewolf by night. The banter between these two is hilarious and had me hooked from the start. There is so much sarcasm in these pages, you will be in tears from laughter.

This story was so brilliant! I loved every minute of it. I was kind of hooked after I read the blurb but once I started reading it exceeded my expectations. The storyline was quirky and funny and I loved the characters, they made me laugh so much. I just adored the main characters, especially Sophie! The connection and back and forth between her and Trace was funny. Although this is the second book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series it’s easily read as a standalone which is how I read it, it’s also the first time that I have ready anything by this author and I cannot wait to read more of this series! I loved this book so much and would definitely recommend it to others!

Along with learning more about Trace and there blossoming relationship. Sophie has a friend name Crimson who we get to learn more about her and Trace’s friend Jackson. one thing I loved about this read was even though it was centering around Sophie and Trace we still got to hear about Jane and Ethan. This read is funny and entertaining and it really keeps you captivated. I really look forward to reading book 3 in this series and i hope we can learn more about Jackson and Crimson.

I have read a couple of books from this author and she still continues to blow my mind on her storytelling. This is the second book of the New Orleans Nocturnal series. You don’t need to read the books in order but there are previous characters in this story as well. I love a good paranormal book but this author exceeded all my expectations on this book. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I couldn’t put it down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive story.
Sophie is supposed to be a witch like her whole family. She has been told she even smells like a witch. Sophie wants to be a witch so bad but she can’t cast a spell for nothing. She finds herself in trouble with a werewolf pack. Sophie meets Hot Trace, who is a werewolf. He bites her to protect his status. His pack is cursed by a witch and Sophie has to figure out how to prove she is innocent or she too will become a wolf. Will Sophie find a way to prove that she’s innocent or will it be too late?

This is the second book of the series, New Orleans Nocturnes. And just like the first book License to Bite, it’s absolutely hilarious. All Sophie wanted was a hot werewolf lover. But after Trace bites her at a party. Sophie needs to find out who cursed Trace’s pack before the next full moon or she gets wolfy. I also cannot believe this cliffhanger. Once again I cannot wait to read the next book to find out what happens to Jane and Sophie’s friend.

Five Stars
Five stars because I laughed so hard while reading this story. The author really knew what she was doing when she put this together. The main female lead is so ornery and feisty it’s no wonder they want to stake her. I find the fact that they have to get a license to bite hilarious. I just couldn’t get enough. The male lead did upset me a little. Like you turn me because you think I’m you lost love. Nah that’ not how this works. Love me for me not just cause I remind you of someone. The author did a great job giving us something classic with a spin. I am looking forward to see what all the author has to offer. You don’t find many authors who make you go though ups and downs.

License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen, is a delightful little romance. And what could be better than vampires. But what I like about the vampires in this story is it’s not all drama drama drama. It’s light-hearted and fun especially Jane. She’s very headstrong and confident even in the face of a world she didn’t know existed. Great characters, a great world, and just a delightful story. Reader beware there is an incident of very adult situation. But it’s not so heavy that it distracts from this great little story. This book was a lot of fun.

Sometimes you just need something light and fun. You know, when you’ve had that hard day at work, the kids are annoying you, and dinner’s burned. You just want to get away from it all. Well, this is definitely a ‘Calgon’ kinda book! (Does anyone else get that reference?)
License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen was a cute campy read. As a first-time reader of Ms. Pulkinen, I enjoyed the premise of the story and found myself chuckling along. Ethan Devereaux, a “young” vamp meets Jane Anderson and is instantly intrigued. She pulls at him in some unforeseen way and he can’t figure out why. When circumstances force Ethan to “turn” Jane, he thinks it’s fate at hand. Until Jane “wakes up” and he’s wondering what he ever did to deserve what fate has plopped into his lap.
Jane Anderson is just coasting along in life. The daughter of the governor of Texas, she is itching to stretch her wings and her trip to ‘The Big Easy’ with her best friend is her chance. Until she meets Ethan (kinda). Interested in discovering more about the mysterious man, she is unprepared when she finds herself in his home and undead.
Now Ethan must teach her everything she needs to know about being a vampire and Jane has to get over her aversion to blood to get her vampire license. But not everyone wants to see Ethan and Jane succeed. Can Ethan help Jane get over her quirks in time or will they both end up staked,
Using witty humor combined with interesting characters, Ms. Pulkinen weaves a good tale that keeps the reader engaged. The chemistry between the two main characters is not heavy but consistent. The sub-characters are fun and interesting, leading the reader to want to know them better. If you are looking for a cute lighthearted book, this is one you should definitely pick up.

License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy is the first book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. It is the first book I have read, but I will continue the series because it was hilarious. The book is about Jane Anderson, daughter of Texas governor, going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras with her best friend. She is trying to be independent and prove to her dad and brothers she can make it as a blogger, but gets herself into quite a pickle. She finds herself being turned into a vampire on her second night there, which is bad enough… but she can’t stand the sight, or idea, of blood. Jane is sassy and sarcastic, and her “sire” Ethan is torn between being annoyed with her, and the magnetic draw he has to her. He first thought she was his past fiancé, but he was so very wrong. The banter between Ethan and Jane, and Ethan and his sire Gaston, is perfect. (Jane even ties in Beauty and the Beast song when she learns his name, had me dying laughing) I like that this isn’t the normal dark vampire story, but instead is a funny ironic take on it. I can’t wait to read the other stories in the series.

Finders Reapers. (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 4) By Carrie Pulkinen.
Wow. What a truly fascinating story, I stated on book 4 and will definitely being going and reading the previous 3 books in this series, it was amazing. So funny with lots of twists and turns to keep the brain occupied. Asher is a Reaper who has decided to take a holiday and has left his gate open for all souls to wander through to the underworld as they please, only this isn’t exactly how the story goes, he soon learns that someone has closed the door and there are lost souls roaming around the French Quarter. Jasmine is a Necromancer (and also the reason Asher decided to take a break) and the last thing she wants to do is work with Asher the very hot Reaper. But how else are they going to stop New Orleans becoming the new hell? I really do recommend this book to anyone who loves a good laugh but also likes their paranormal romance too. It is epic.

The chemistry is so strong between them that Jasmine may become the death of Asher. Can they work together or will the risk of losing his life force Asher to run away yet again.

Finders Reapers is book 4 in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen.
As with the other books in this series, this story is fun, sexy, action packed and fast paced.
There is a similar theme throughout the series, love strikes whenever it fancies, usually where you wouldn’t expect it. Asher and Jasmine are thrown together in a tricky situation. There is lots of laughter along the way, and I love the way the characters are brought to life. The energy between them almost jumps off the page, and they have a very playful relationship. The author has won me over in every book with her lovable characters and lighthearted “horror”, it’s a very different kind of romcom, but it gives you the same happy feelings.
This story can definitely be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. However, there is a crossover of characters which I absolutely love, for me it makes it even more enjoyable. So, if you haven’t already, I would recommend starting at book one and enjoying the whole series.
