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.

I really enjoyed this book!! It made me laugh quite a few times whilst I was reading it, the story was fun to read and I really liked the characters. The author has a really fun and engaging writing style and the story was so easy to read. I thought that Crimson was just such an awesome character to read about, I think she is probably one of my favourite characters this year, she made me smile and laugh so much – I absolutely adored her and her clumsiness! I loved Mike as well – they were so perfect together! I would recommend reading this series in order but they can also be read as standalones. I am definitely loving this paranormal romantic comedy series and I would highly recommend it to other readers!

I loved mike and his character i felt him and crimson were perfect for each other. I found this series very funny and entertaining and the relations between characters were really fun to read about. This series is really worth the read if you havent yet make sure to add this to your TBR pile 🙂 Thank you Carrie Pulkinen for writing this wonderful series and i cant wait to read more of your books.

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.

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!

Shift Happens is the second book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. In book two of this series you get to learn more about Sophie Burroughs and her witch abilities. 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.

Shift Happens by Carrie Pulkinen Review by Kaitlyn Stewart Rating 5 out of 5
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.

Crimson Oliver is a bad witch. She’s not wicked, but every spell she tries to cast goes awry in one way or another. After her last screw-up, the high priestess has threatened to bind her powers and turn her human for good.
Crimson’s solution? Challenge the priestess to a battle of magic she can’t possibly win.
Not without a miracle, anyway.
Enter hotter-than-hellfire demon Mike Cortez. He’s a devil’s advocate who can make anyone’s dreams come true…for a price. He’s had his eye on the seductive witch for a while, and Satan is in the market for a new assistant.
But Mike wants to date her, not damn her.
When he accidentally makes a deal condemning Crimson to an eternity of satanic servitude, they’ll have to go to hell and back to outsmart the devil and save the witch’s soul.
Ride along on a journey from the Big Easy to the underworld and back again in this fast, steamy romantic comedy!

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.

Sophie Burroughs is determined to be a witch. Her grandmother was a witch. All the other supes say she smells like a witch, but she can’t cast a spell to save her life.
Sprouting fur is so not on her to-do list.
But when a smokin’ hot werewolf bites her and then accuses her of crimes against his pack, she has until the next full moon to prove him wrong and stop his magic from transforming her into a wolf.
A romp in the sack would be a nice bonus, too.
Trace Thibodeaux didn’t mean to bite Sophie. The red wolves have been cursed, she’s the prime suspect, and if he wants to keep his rank in the pack, he has to end her magic by any means necessary.
But that doesn’t include sheathing his sword in a witch’s scabbard.
He’s gotten into bed with the enemy before, and that’s a mistake he’ll never make again.
Or will he?
If you like funny heroines and smoldering shifters, you’ll love this steamy paranormal romantic comedy.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she has a new fan. I love a good paranormal story but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of the New Orleans nocturnal series. Once I started this book I could not put it down. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive story.
Jane Anderson has always gotten her way. She is the daughter of the governor of their town. Jane is so excited to have a girls trip. She is going to New Orleans for the best party ever, Madi Gras. Jane is having the time of her life and better yet she meets a very hot guy but what she doesn’t know is he is a vampire. She ends up becoming immortal herself and she is so excited except she can’t stand blood. Jane is now stuck with Ethan and let’s just say they are not in love with each other. She has only three weeks to learn the ways of being a vampire to get her license. Will Ethan teach her the ways or will he end it all? Review by @heatherbass

Governor’s daughter Jane Anderson is used to getting what she wants. When a girls’ trip to Mardi Gras thrusts her into the arms—and fangs—of New Orleans’ hottest vampire, he gifts her with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for.
There’s only one tiny problem. Jane faints at the sight of blood.
When Ethan Devereaux meets Jane, his cold, lifeless heart learns to beat again. Convinced she’s his late fiancée reincarnated, he turns her, claiming her as his own. But when Jane wakes up dead in Ethan’s attic, she’s loud, obnoxious, and downright ornery. He doesn’t know if he should kiss her or stake her, but one thing’s for certain…
She is so not his long-lost love.
But Ethan turned her, so he’s stuck with her. Jane has three weeks to learn the ways of the vampire and get her license, or she’ll be staked. If Ethan can’t help her overcome her aversion to blood, his undead life might also be on the line.
Join the supes of New Orleans Nocturnes as they lighten up the darker side of the Big Easy in this fast, steamy romantic comedy.
Get it Now!
*The New Orleans Nocturnes Series is intended for readers 18+
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.

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.

Once again Carrie Pulkinen has written a winner. This series is a lot of fun and really enjoyable. Watching the love story of Asher and Jasmine unfold was really nice. They made a cute couple and I was really happy they found each other. Carrie Pulkinen is an excellent author and I really look forward to reading more from her.

This is book 4 in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. And it was just as good as the first 3.
Jasmine Lee is a necromancer which means she can see ghosts and is able to put the spirit of a person back into their body. This talent scares everyone off apparent from Death himself.
Asher is Death. The reaper his job is to collect souls for Satan. After doing his job for over 200 years he decides to go on holiday believing his souls will be able to find their way without him. How wrong he is?
When ghosts start appearing to Jasmine complaining that the door is locked Jasmine needs to work together with Asher to fix this problem. 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.

Finders Reapers ( New Orleans Nocturns #4) by Carrie Pulkinen 4 stars!!!!
Oh man I was once again drawn into the supernatural New Orleans life and loving it. These are such light hearten and just an absolute joy to read. They really are a great short read and have a good balance of romance and a bit of drama. Nothing is ever straightforward and I love that.
I really like how Jasmine and Asher have that typical complicated start. I love that they are destined but he really tries to fight that. I like how the author is able to entwine the story line around these two and it isn’t predictable. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series. I am totally hooked.

I can not wait to see more from the amazing Carrie Pulkinen!

Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy is the fourth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. This author does it again. I have read other books in this series and have absolutely loved them, and this one did not disappoint. Like the other books in this series, the main characters couldn’t be more wrong for each other. Asher is the grim reaper who decides to take a break. Unfortunately, this leads to some souls escaping the underworld which poses as a great threat to New Orleans. Jasmine, who is a necromancer, can try to tame the souls but it could turn out to be more trouble than good. Asher and Jasmine must work together to try to get the souls back to the underworld or it could mean death for Asher. This story has the perfect blend of paranormal elements, with light hearted humor and romance. I highly recommend this book, as well as others in this series.

Finders Reapers is already the fourth book in Carrie Pulkinen’s New Orleans Nocturnes series that is a charming paranormal series taking place in NOLA. This time we have a Death Reaper and a Necromancer and if you are a paranormal genre fan then whatever you are thinking, you are absolutely going down the right path and you will not regret picking up a copy! You can read the story as a standalone but you will meet the characters from the previous books and I know you would get a kick out of having read the preceding books as well and you will feel as if you are hanging out with old friends as both Asher and Jasmine (our Death Reaper and Necromancer) appear in the other books! So, we have a situation, our Death Reaper Asher is taking a break that ends in a chaos as there is a powerful wily ghost that escapes the hell and he is not able to capture it … just picture French Quarter as a haven for the hell-bound … with all those tourists around … so, he needs help and who would be better and more qualified to help than our Necromancer Jasmine Lee and by adding her to this combustible mix, there might be hell to pay … seriously … just close your eyes and picture it! Come along and join us on this journey that is a paranormal romantic comedy where anything is possible!

Finders Reapers is the 4th book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen and as with the previous 3 books in the series, I thoroughly enjoyed it. As someone who loves New Orleans, I really appreciate how descriptive the locations are and I can actually picture myself being there as the action takes place. In this book Jasmine, a necromancer who works at the coroner’s office, must assist Archer, a disgruntled reaper, when the gates to hell are malfunctioning and the malevolent spirits that should be in hell start to take over the city. This book is funny, romantic and a bit steamy at times. It has a wonderful cast of characters that you are introduced to in earlier books. If you like a paranormal comedy romance, then this book is definitely for you.
