Carrie Pulkinen killed this book in the best way! Supernatural and spooky with all the sass! I was so in love right from the start! Narration was awesome and easy to listen to! 10 out of 10 I wish I could give this more stars! The push and pull of the main characters was perfect! Definately worth the listen!
This is my second audio book by this author which is just as great as the first one I listened to. I enjoyed how the narrator brought the story and the characters to life using different tones of voice. They made it fun and easy to listen to. It is understandable and the narrator did a great job with it. This is a story about Asher and Jasmine. Asher leaves the door to the underworld unattended and now he finds himself in a crisis. Jasmine is a necromancer, she has never not been able to tame a ghost until now. Now that lost souls escaped the underworld and they are left to bring them back. Will they be able to bring them back in time? This is a really great story and kept me listening. I highly recommend this audible.
This was my first book by Carrie Pulkinen and my VERY first time listening to a book rather than reading it. I am content with the audio version but tend to create different voices in my head when I read. It threw me off a bit that this book would have normally taken at least half the time to read, but it helped allow me to do other things while I got to submerge myself into a paranormal-filled world. The story itself was great, the narration was well-done, and the characters’ dialogue made me laugh out loud a few times. I never knew that a reaper would want to take a vacation, nor that doing so could create such a great narrative. I loved both main characters and hope to see more of them in future books right after I go back and read the ones I missed so far!
Finders Reapers by Carrie Pulkinen
Narrated by Hollie Jackson
Five Stars
Finders Reapers is the fifth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes by Carrie Pulkinen. This series is so fun to listen to. Each book has made me laugh out loud. I think this is my new favorite, but I have said that before with this series. This book is just the right amount of time to spend relaxing and laughing at the situations the characters find themselves in.
Hollie Jackson has narrated the whole series so far. She does a great job, and I like the way she brings these characters to life. I can’t wait for the next book in this series, and I hope they keep coming for a very long time.
Review @sunbarn
I really enjoyed this read. It was quite humorous. Though the main characters are a necromancer and a reaper the author made this story quite humorous. The innuendo, the comfort food made by angels, just stuffing souls hither and there (into cats, wherever they might fit). Hey, who knew what might happen if a reaper took a vacation. I do think the story could have used more male narration. Hollie Jackson did a fine job narrating, I just felt the reaper needed a masculine voice. A perfect story set in New Orleans, home to ghosts, spirits and haunted everything. You really should read this story if you are looking for a fun cozy mystery. You’ll get a chuckle and a mystery to solve. I will be looking for more by the author to read.
I really loved this book’s take on the paranormal genre. There were of course vampires and werewolves because where would any paranormal story be without them? But the two main characters were neither and that was refreshing.
The main female protagonist is written so astonishingly well, I’m sad she isn’t someone I can meet because she is so very relatable. I loved her personality and the quirky way she thinks and speaks.
The main male protagonist was written very well also, I loved the inner thoughts we got to see from him. I love that he isn’t just a generic vampire, werewolf, witch, etc. Not that I don’t love those as well because I do but it was very interesting to see this new species I’d never really read about before be birthed onto the page here. Kudos to the author for her imagination and inventiveness.
My only real complaint here is that the story was so short! I hope we get to see more of them in future books.
Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy Audio Book by Carrie Pulkinen is the next instalment of the New Orleans Nocturnes series. This is a highly entertaining book that had me laughing out loud a few times.
Asher and Jasmine definitely have to be my favourite couple so far. They just worked so perfectly together right from the start. They really make this story everything it is.
I also think that Hollie Jackson narrating this series is the absolute perfect choice. She really captures not only the essence of all the different characters but also the essence of the series as a whole. She makes a brilliant book even more exciting and really makes me feel like I am there.
This is a fantastic series that I would urge you to read today.

Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance author who has always been fascinated with things that go bump in the night. Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice.
Before she decided to turn her love of the written word into a career, Carrie spent the first part of her professional life as a high school journalism and yearbook teacher. She loves good chocolate and bad puns, and in her free time, she likes to read, drink wine, and travel with her family.
