This is the second book of this series and it was just as amazing as the first book. I love how amazing her writing style is, she makes you feel like you’re right in in story with the characters. I look forward to the third book!

Yet another emotional roller coaster, Sleeping Angel by Nikki Lynn Barrett is the second book in the Soul Connection series and I flew through it just as quick as the first one! I am glad that I started it as soon as I finished the first one, it certainly didn’t disappoint!
The book was a bit different from the first one, but the story that Barrett has written in the story about Logan and Angel is just as intriguing as this one. I was excited to see Scott and Zelda make an appearance in the novel, as I was very much hoping for a continuation in their story. I am excited to see what the next book in the series will entail, but after reading these two know it will be very well-written!

The second instalment of the Soul Connection series did not disappoint! Nikki Lynn Barrett has done an outstanding job on the continuation of her series. Her writing abilities are astounding and truly magical! the story of Logan and Angel was one that showed pain and grief and forgiveness in a way that left me reeling. It was an incredible read that was executed so well. I can’t get enough and I can’t wait to see more from this author! Get this one quickly!
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.
This is an Audio book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series and is just under 5 hours listening time. This story follows Asher, the reaper, and Jasmine, a necromancer. Asher’s got a crisis and he feels now is the time to take a vaca. When nobody is watching the door to the underworld, a ghost escapes. Now Jasmine has hundreds of spirits ready to wreak havoc on New Orleans. Now Asher and Jasmine must work together, and she is not a bit happy about that. This paranormal romance has that and humor too.
Can I just say the more I listen to Author Carrie Pulkinen’s books the more I love them! This book is a fun, fantastic listen and with parts I laughed out loud. I loved the story between a Necromancer, Jasmine and Grim Reaper, Asher. When Asher leaves his door open by accident there is ghostly chaos. Jasmine loves Asher and eventually helps Asher to round up the ghosts. This fun rom com is just truly fantastic and the narrator is perfect!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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.

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection Book 2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett
Sleeping Angel is the second book in the Soul Connection Series by Nikki Lynn Barrett. This is a Paranormal Romance that is packed with mystery, suspense, anger, grief , ghosts . Although this can be read as a standalone I do however recommend reading the first book to get to know the characters. This is my favorite yet. I found myself lost in the pages while on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This is Logan and Angel’s story. Both of the have experienced something tragic. Logan lost his little sister and Andi and he has become a very angry drunk. She witnessed something she should have spoken up about sooner than she did. They both have anger and regret.

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connections Book Two) by Nikki Lynn Barrett was a great read! I really enjoyed the first book, and I was so glad Barrett decided to delve more into Angel in this story. This book was just as good if not better than the first. It has all the drama, mystery and suspense of a great novel. Barrett is quickly becoming a favorite author and I can’t wait to more in the future, including another installment on this series! I may or may not be a little obsessed with this one!

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection Book 2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett presents so much romance and drama ready to unfold. The paranormal is a nice bonus in this love story. Ghost, this story has it all and so much more.
There was just one terrible death. Two souls wracked with remorse. They haven’t been able to connect because of years of anguish and remorse. Until one night, when an accident occurs, it completely changes everything.
He is buzzed. Angry. At the age of twenty-four, that’s him. He had no intention of becoming this guy, but the murder of my sister had an impact on him. He holds himself responsible, but he also holds Angel responsible. His sister died as a result of her silence. One night, his anguish takes a new turn. He is informed of his actions when he wakes up in the hospital. Everyone believes he attempted to murder Angel on purpose. But he didn’t mean to hit her, and he has no recollection of the incident. Her fate is now in her hands, and he must accept responsibility for what he has done. Rionna, his first love, provides him with comfort. But there are aspects of her that he does not comprehend. Something isn’t quite right here.
Guilt is a terrible feeling to have. From one life-changing experience to the next. She’s the girl that seems to be at the wrong place at the wrong moment all of the time. She is haunted by the past, and She is unsure about the future. She fantasized about transforming into someone else and deleting her existence. Her fantasy is going to become a reality. She assumed she would die in the accident, but she discovers she is in the body of a stranger.’
I loved every page of it. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Sleeping Angel by Nikki Lynn Barrett is the second story in the Soul Connection Series. Though I would recommend reading the first book, it is not necessary. (It’s just really good).
Wow. Just wow. This book is an emotional rollercoaster. Logan loses his sister and blames himself and Angel. Angel gave up information that lead to the arrest of the people responsible, but it’s not good enough for Logan. Angel blames herself as much as Logan does, but that doesn’t matter.
Now she has had an accident and wakes up in someone else’s body. Can Angel figure out what happened and get back to her body before it is too late?

Can I just say, I loved this book. There are so many twists, turns and murder mystery. My heart breaks for Logan, whom loses his sister, Andi, by murder and drowns himself in alcohol. Everything changes when Logan blames Angel for not preventing Andi’s murder and not coming forward with the events that takes place and Logan hits Angel with his car. Was it an accident or attempted murder? I also love that it ties in book one characters of Scott and Zelda. This is a great read if you love mystery, secrets and ghosts. Nikki Lynn Barrett is truly becoming one of my favorite authors <3.

I give Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection Book 2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett, 4 stars.
I started this book thinking it seemed predictable and I knew what was going to happen. I could not have been more wrong! The story is so original, there is no way you will guess what is going on. I was so intrigued about the concepts in this book of souls and such. I cannot elaborate more without possibly giving things away, but I will say that I stopped and thought twice in some sections. The characters are great, too. All of them really grow throughout this book, not just the main ones. Plus you will see some from book one if you read it as well as a whole new cast of characters.
This book has romance, tragic grief, and the paranormal tossed in to the mix. It is a very powerful story that I could not put down. I believe it can be read as a standalone and I highly recommend it.

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection Book 2)
By Nikki Lynn Barrett
This book will take you on an emotional roller-coaster. You can read this one as a standalone but it is my suggestion that you read the books in order for a better back story of some of the characters. We get to meet new characters in this story and have returning characters. This story kept me wondering what was going to happen next, it seemed to keep adding more questions and twists and turns as I read. I definitely had a hard time putting this book down. The paranormal elements in this book were intriguing and unique. My heart ached for some of the characters in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have enjoyed every book I have read by this author and I am sure I will continue to do so. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Angel and Logan are two young people with a lot of guilt over one other young person, the death of Logan’s sister. Logan blames Angel for not coming forward with some information sooner and he also blames himself for not heeding the signals and seeing what was right in front of him. Angel blames herself for the same thing, she didn’t take notice of a situation which felt a little off, she feels she was selfish and it was only when someone asked her a question two years later that she realised she should come forward, but when she does, her apology to Logan goes down in flames and he dogs her every movement after that and makes her life a living hell. Another year down the line and it is the anniversary of his sisters birthday and Logan does what the same as every year, gets drunk, angry and accusatory, he goes to Angel’s house and shouts abuse at her before being taken home, Angel is trying to celebrate her birthday when he shows up, but becomes completely overwhelmed and goes outside for some air, but all of a sudden she sees headlights and then is out of her body and nobody can see or hear her, apart from one person who insists that she goes back into her own body, however, as she does, she sees a flash of light and then nothing.
The next day Angel wakes up, but in somewhere she doesn’t recognise, she is not in a hospital where she expects to be after what she saw, but when she looks in the mirror, it is not her looking back, it is someone with blue hair and a nose ring and she has a roommate she has no idea the name of, thinking that she has the hangover from hell and trying not to let on she has no idea who she is, she is eventually taken to the hospital to be checked over. When she arrives there, she decides to go and look for herself instead, but finds that her body is surrounded by too many people and hasn’t woken up, but she does run into Logan, this is how she finds out she is in his ex-girlfriend Rionna’s body and that just causes more questions than answers. Finally she finds the one person she knows can help her untangle this mess and hopes that she can work with them to solve the mystery.
Meanwhile, Logan has woken up in the hospital with no memory of what happened after he was taken home by two people who were at the party he crashed, he remembers going to bed to sleep it off, but when he is told that he was behind the wheel, drunk out of his mind and that he ran over Angel outside her home, he realises just what a mess he is in. As he comes to and is treated for his head wound, the police come into his room and tell him that he will be arrested on multiple charges as soon as he is released from the hospital, however, the severity of the punishment will all depend on whether Angel wakes up from the coma she is currently in. Logan is torn in two by what he has done and accepts all the punishments he is given, however, when the alcohol withdrawal hits him, he feels like death would be preferable to the pain, spasms, nausea and hallucinations he is experiencing.
Will Angel be able to figure out Rionna’s life so that she can work out how to get back to herself, or will fate intervene and leave more questions than answers for her? Will Logan be able to turn over a new leaf, or will the downward spiral he was experiencing before begin again? What ties Logan, Angel and Rionna together and how did the body swap happen in the first place? This is a story of loss, grief, heartbreak and secrets with a tangled web of connections which need to be unraveled before the mystery can be solved.

I remember reading Peaceful Slumber a LONG time ago and while the details are vague in my memory now, I remember being blown away. When I found out the book is actually part of a series, I couldn’t be more excited. My only complaint after reading Sleeping Angel is that I wish I had reread Peaceful Slumber first. There were times that I just wished I remembered more about the characters but this didn’t really impact my love for the book overall. There’s not much I can say that doesn’t give the story away but I will say this book is unlike anything I have ever read before. It is unique, at times emotional and even a bit funny. The characters are lovable, even when you think they’re not. If you haven’t read Nikki Lynn Barrett yet, you’re missing out on a talented storyteller. I can’t wait to read more of this soul connections series!

Nikki Lynn Barrett does it again, Sleeping Angel is just as amazing as Peaceful Slumber was. Once again Ms. Barrett takes us on emotional roller coaster ride, capturing her readers from page 1. This book has literally everything that a reader could possibly want from love, hate, joy, fear, sadness, and more, Ms. Barrett will have you not wanting to put it down. I felt so many emotions in reading this story that I cried multiple times and had chills going down my spine while reading this novel. Just like her other novels Ms. Barrett’s characters have so much depth, and description you can’t help but fall in love with their stories. I have read several of Ms. Barret’s novels and loved them all, but after reading Sleeping Angel I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

Scott and Zelda are again involved in a mystery. Arriving at a friend’s party, they witness a horrific accident that sets off a chain of events that will change the lives of Angel and Logan. The plot keeps you on your toes as there are many twists that will have you guessing about what’s going on. The characters have personalities that feel so real and human due to their flaws. A little paranormal with some reincarnation, romance, murder, and some comedy just makes this book a must read. I can’t give too much away but you have GOT TO read this. I love this author. New fan for life her.

Sleeping Angel by Nikki Lynn Barrett is book two of the Soul Connection Series. I wasn’t sure if I was going to get into this book as it’s a little more paranormal than I usually go for but I was pleasantly surprised!
Logan lost his little sister Andi and everything has seems to spiral out of control for him from there. His guilt and his hate for Angel eat him up. If only he could have saved her. Angel knows about Logan’s hate for her. She feels enough self inflicted guilt she can’t really blame him for his anger. The night of Angel’s birthday everything changes. Will Angel and Logan be able to move passed all their pain?
I couldn’t put this book down! I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. The suspense was intense. I was really rooting for Angel and Logan. I could relate to Logan’s pain even though I thought he was punishing Angel a little too harshly. I really enjoyed this book even though I was hesitant about it at first.

I have read many books by this author and have enjoyed all of them. I especially loved the first book in this series and was super excited about this one as I was left with a few questions at the end of the first. It was awesome getting back to Scott and Zelda and I would have loved more of their story in this book. In saying that I didn’t fall into this one quite as deep as I did the first. It still had all of the amazing writing I’ve come to expect from a book by this author but this one had me confused most of the time. There are a lot of moving parts and trying to keep up was a challenge. It took me a bit to finish it as it was quite long. I did love the mystery and never knowing what secret would be revealed next. It was just a bit complicated trying to keep the characters straight and I did have to go back every now and then to get back on pace. Logan and Angel were strong characters and I did love both of them.
The ending was awesome and helped clear up some of the confusion, but not all of it. I love this author and will read anything she comes out with, this one was just not one of my favorites although I did enjoy most of it.

This is the second book in the Soul Connection series and wow what a book. The author does an amazing job of mixing true hard situations such as grief and adding some paranormal influence. It follows the story of 2 people Logan And Angel.
Logan is suffering with unbearable grief after finding out his sister was murdered. Full of anger and regret he turns to alcohol to numb the pain. As well as blaming himself he also blames the one person who could have helped but didn’t, Angel.
Angel came forward with her information which lead to the killers being caught however she is now full of guilt and remorse over not stepping in at the time. Added to her guilt is the hatred from Logan.
Things change however when Logan runs over Angel now Angels spirit is in a fight to return back to her body before its too late.
All through the book we are taken through a journey of grief and realising that even in death our loved ones never really leave us. After all the heartache can something good come from this experience for both Angel and Logan?

After reading the previous book I knew this one would be just as great. And I wasn’t disappointed. It picked up right where the other ended and introduced some new characters to us along the way. I found this book to be even better than the first one as it was filled with even more twists and turns along the way. Once again the author has managed to construct a beautifully written and quite riveting story. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! And I certainly cannot wait to see what the author has in store for the next book in this series. This is a must read in my opinion.
