Love & Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours, #1)Love & Ghosts by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about trying to live life. Emily has been struggling to move on after the death of her sister. She goes to a masquerade ball with a friend and tries to enjoy herself and ends up dancing with a mystery man. Serendipity keeps making them bump into eachother, but problems arise when she finds out he runs a local ghost tour. Can she out her fear of ghosts behind her for a shot at happiness?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Emily stubborn but kind hearted underneath or Sean stuck between love of his profession and love of Emily. Great cast of supporting characters like Trish as the fun friend or Madeline as the kind and meddling mother.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the ballroom with the bright chandeliers and spacious rooms full of life and people. Or the bright colours of the costumes in bold reds or dark blacks or magical purples wonderfully written. Or the garden with its tall trees and shimmering fountain for that sense of peace away from the busy world. Or the bright colourful butterfly small and colourful and beautiful to repreeent reincarnation from Japanese mythology as a nice touch
The mix of fantasy of ghosts and realism of the clinic care hospital combined perfectly to mske for a captivating read. The mystery of the box was perfectly written, making you want to read on to find out what’s inside. The switch of narratives between Emily and Sean was well written and easy to follow with names at the start of the sections. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Love and Ghosts by Carrie Pulkinen is the first book in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series. I was drawn in by the title and the setting of New Orleans. I was not disappointed in the story. Sean runs a haunted tour company and lives off of the supernatural. Emily doesn’t believe in the supernatural but feels a pull in the direction of Sean.
The dialogue and story between Sean and Emily are good. The setting of New Orleans adds itself well. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this series and author in the future.

The story Love & Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance book that I loved reading. It pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until I had read the final page. It is a story that has a wonderful storyline and amazing characters. I loved reading about the characters of Emily Rollins and Sean LeBlanc. Emily is a woman who is strong and independent. She doesn’t believe in the supernatural or ghosts. She is someone who is trying to start over and move on with her life. Then she meets Sean. Sean LeBlanc is a medium. He owns his own haunted tour company. Since he first kissed Emily he can’t stop thinking about her. There is a chemistry and attraction between them. If only he can get Emily to accept the existence of ghosts. What does the future hold for Emily and Sean? When Emily receives a strange box can Sean convince her of the danger? Read this book to find out what happens. I love that this story takes place in New Orleans. I also loved that the story has an atmosphere that is both romantic and sultry. There is bantering that goes back and forth between Sean and Emily and scenes that are swoon worthy. Steamy scenes included in this book. There are additional characters that I enjoyed reading about their part in the story and their interactions with Sean and Emily. This is a wonderful story that you won’t be able to put down. Highly recommended.

Love and Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen is an exciting supernatural romance and is a story that is a breath of fresh air from normal romances.. The premise of the story is original and Carrie’s writing was spot on and swept me into a world I could relate to. ​I loved this book! The mystery and suspense, ghosts and possessions, romance and the humor was perfectly balanced. There were brief times I wanted to shake Emily but overall the characters were loveable and the slow burn between the main characters was sweet and sexy. The story is set in New Orleans and Carrie made the world she created come alive with her descriptions being so vivid you could see it all.

It is one story that will have you wondering what is hiding in the shadows and just what is around when that cold chill that gives you goosebumps happens upon you.
