Love and Omens by Carrie Pulkinen was a great sequel. I loved the first book and loved this one too. Carrie has an uncanny ability to write books that keep you invested the entire time. It’s a well written paranormal romance. I really hope more are going to be written and soon! I love the characters and story! 5 star rating.

What would you do if you could see the past? What would you do if you could see the future? In Love and Omens by Carrie Pulkinen the main characters, Sydney and Blake each have one of these gifts. I enjoyed this book but Carrie Pulkinen. Her plot line takes you on a roller coaster ride with emotions. Sydney, for me is relatable. She keeps her pose even though she can see the future of the person she is speaking too. Blake can see the past, which I find interesting because you can get a lot of back knowledge of the person or situation. There is a mystery afoot and Blake and Sydney team together to solve it. Will Blake and Sydney figure out everything in time? Will they rekindle their romance? This is one story you will have to read to find out these answers and much more.,

Stars-5

I was excited to read book 2 after reading book 1, and it was just as fantastic as the first. Carrie Pulkinen does a wonderful job on leading her readers on adventures with the characters. These adventures are exciting with highs, lows, and a great pace that completely keeps you on your toes and immersed in the storyline. I was happy that Sydney was getting her own story, and found that it isn’t always what it seems. I really enjoyed Blake. I felt that the two characters were well matched together and complemented each other wonderfully. So, if you are looking for a great series/book, look no further. This a great series! Although these can be read as a standalone, it would make the best sense when read in order.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love & Omens by Carrie Pulkinen is the second book in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series. I recommend reading the first book in the series before this one because there are some recurring characters and background which help with this one. Sydney Park works for Crescent City Ghost Tours and there are some changes coming including new tours. The new tour is ending at the Museum of the Macabre and is owned by someone from her past, Blake Beaumont.
This is a fun series set in the alluring and mysterious New Orleans. The setting adds to the story and helps to keep everything a bit spooky. I really liked Sydney in the first book and am glad she is the focus of this book. She is a strong character and knows what’s up. Blake is great and he is a nice offset from Sydney. The two work well together and I wanted everything to come together for them. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future and seeing more of the Crescent City Ghost Tours.

Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen was fun paranormal romance to read. I would give this book five out of five stars.This is the second book in the series, can be perfectly stand alone. I did read the first one and loved the encounters with Sydney so when I saw this was her story I got excited. Sydney is definitely a spit fire, she dances to the beat of her own drum, and I loved every second of this book. I did enjoy Blake’s character as well, he was well rounded and definitely a dreamy read. I loved the plot and twists and turns that presented themselves. There were definitely times where I wished I could jump in and tie all the pieces together for the characters. I was easily captivated and fell in love with New Orleans more than I already was. There is just a way that the city and characters are written that the city comes alive in the pages.

I am a huge fan of ghost hunting shows so I couldn’t wait to read Love & Omens, book 2 in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series by author Carrie Pulkinen. I was not disappointed at all, this book was right up my alley. I did not read the first book in this series and I had absolutely no problem following along as each book is about a different couple.
Sydney Park is a tour guide with Crescent City tours who gets premonitions making her the perfect guide. She considers her gift a curse, so when she has a vision of a funeral she automatically fears the worst especially when her college sweetheart enters the picture after 8 years with his own agenda. Who does Sydney’s vision concern? Is her former flame the one she is meant to be with? Read the book and find out! You won’t regret it!

Love & Omens by Carrie Pulkinen is the second book in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series. After reading the first book I knew roughly what to expect from this book however I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
I really found myself connecting with these 2 characters. From the moment I started reading about them it felt like I was sharing their journey with them. Their abilities felt so different from each other and yet at the same time completely relatable to the other.
The story was well developed and interesting. More than once I found myself reading quicker and quicker because I wanted to read more of it. While I enjoyed the first book I have to say this one definitely stole the show for me. I am so excited to see what else is to come from this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love & Omens is the second book in Carrie Pulkinen’s Crescent City Ghost Tours where she gives a next romantic paranormal story in the city of magic (well, at least I think that NOLA is the city of magic!). The story takes us on a rollercoaster ride that has chills running down your spine! Sidney and Blake are a couple that seem a match made in heaven – Sidney can see the future and Blake can read the past so you would think that they have it covered!
Be prepared for the story that leaves you breathless, it goes so fast that you feel like you got a whiplash and you feel like heck, what happened now! Add to it the Mardi Gras atmosphere and the history the two have and you will be swept away while keeping your fingers crossed that these two make it!
In addition to Sidney and Blake there is a number of other characters that I hope the writer will bring back in the next story (as we met Sidney in the first book series and she became the heroine of the second one)! So welcome to the Crescent City and the Ghost Tours!

Love and Omens by Carrie Pulkinen a spellbinding five-star read, this is number two in the Cresent City Ghost Tour series and this continues to show us what a great series it is. It could be read as stand-alone, but it is best read as part of the series in my eyes as you build on the world and get to see the follow on for Emily and Sean, but they aren’t the main attraction in this one, that goes to Blake and Syd they steal the show in this instalment. This series really does drag you in, giving you the mystery and romance that makes a great story. The fact that Blake and Syd have a past just added an extra layer to the story, the chemistry alone is worthy of a massive reaction. Throw in haunting emotions and Madi Gras and you have a winner.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance story that is a quick but enjoyable read. I would read the first book in this series before this one as it will give you background information on some of the characters. I really enjoyed the first one but this one was even better. Being able to see the future is not all it is cracked up to be and trying to decipher what the visions mean can almost make you go mad. Throw that in with an ex who is back on the scene, one you never stopped loving, a crazy stalker and a wronged husband and you are in for a wild journey as Carrie weaves it all together to make a very vivid tale. I also enjoy that we get to learn more of the wonderful characters that make up the team.

A must read to be added to your TBR list.

The Big Easy – check. Mystery – check. Romance – check. A heart stopping, must read adventure – check! This book kept me glued to my chair and engrossed in its pages from beginning to end. Pulkinen does a fantastic job weaving this tale with just the right amount of fantasy, mystery, suspense, and romance. I was immediately fascinated and drawn to the main characters and found myself deeply invested as to how the story would ultimately unfold. Absolutely recommended! So good!

This is another amazing story from Carrie Pulkinen! She is able to pull in the sights and sounds of The Big Easy making them into a wonderfully interesting and thrilling story. It amazes me how the characters don’t seem afraid but I’m not sure I could live in the museum. I understood Blake nervousness at times. I also loved the whole Wonderland theme throughout! Very cool!

I loved getting Sydney’s story. Blake seems like the perfect guy for her and he seamlessly fits into the story. This also introduces some new characters…Claire—-GAH! We also get to see the ghost/tour crew again and see what they have been up to.

This story surprised me and gave me shivers all at the same time. I loved that! That makes me want to keep reading for the shock value plus the romance story. I look forward to more from these characters.

PS…I didn’t realize that the Macey we meet here is the same Macey from her other series til the note at the end. Great Crossover!

Love & Omens is the second book in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series by Carrie Pulkinen. You will notice while reading my review, that the word “love” is used frequently- I apologize (sorry not sorry)! But I freaking LOVE this book/series!!!
The first book, Love & Ghosts was completely captivating- so there was no way I was missing this instalment. I couldn’t wait for it to release, and as with the first one, I was absolutely thrilled to finally get my hands on it.
This is a fantastic paranormal romance- with ghosts, second chances, visions, omens, supernatural elements, new beginnings, paranormal investigations, mystery, suspense, action, danger, drama, obsession, and plenty of sizzle….. which is all set against the vibrant, colourful and mystical backdrop that is New Orleans.
I really didn’t think it was possible to love a book more than I loved the first instalment- so I had incredibly high expectations for this story. But, we are talking Carrie Pulkinen here, so it’s no real surprise that she absolutely nailed it!! I love this story just as much as the first, if not more.
The characters are fully realised, interesting, and endearing individuals, who really brought this story to life. I particularly love that there are recurring characters from book one, who we get to ‘catch up with’ as well (and even one from another loved series). They were really interesting and very well developed. I love Sydney and Blake- OMG they were just soooo perfect together, even if they tried to resist their chemistry at the beginning. I was definitely rooting for them the whole way through! And I love how Ms. Pulkinen kept the tension levels turned up to ‘high’- ramping up the suspense and weaving in a few twists as well. It kept me glued to the pages- avidly reading along to discover how everything would play out. The ‘action’ and intensity were exhilarating- but it was the emotive quality and the camaraderie between the characters which really gave the story an added depth- and making it truly memorable.
I have said this before, and I will say it again here: I have a severe addiction to Ms. Pulkinen’s work- and it’s one that I am more than happy to indulge- no rehab needed, EVER! She’s definitely one of my favourite authors, and I will never get enough of her work! I’m so looking forward to the next book!

Thank you, Ms. Pulkinen!

5-Stars

Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen was a romantic and fun read. Sydney and Blake once dated in the past and meet again when the Crescent City Ghost Tours decides to take on a partner. They want to add a haunted museum with artifacts from murders. An ominous vision distracts Syd from the conversation with her boss regarding adding Blake and she is shocked upon seeing him. Things happen and the two must work together to figure out how her vision is tied into someone’s death. Can they figure it out before death stakes it’s claim?
The characters in this novel were amazing. Sydney was a strong heroine with a spunky attitude. She stood her ground in tough situations and went for what she desired. Blake was also an excellent main male character. He was hunky, down to earth, and fun. These two also had amazing gifts. I loved seeing them come together and work with the team.
The storyline also had great flow and was easy to follow. I was hooked immediately from the beginning. This book is the second in this series but could easily be read as a standalone. Significant events that played a part for this book were mentioned in the storyline to keep readers from becoming confused. Having read the first novel and this one as well I do recommend reading them both. This book was amazing and such a fun read. I highly recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

LOVE & OMENS is the second book in the “Crescent City Ghost Tours Series” and I think it would be beneficial to read book 1 (LOVE AND GHOSTS) first. There are characters that play a role in book 2 that we met in book 1.

Set in New Orleans, LOVE & OMENS tells the story of a woman who can see the future and a man who can see the past. They have a pull to each other that cannot be explained and yet cannot be avoided. There are a couple of different stories swirling around all at the same time.

The writing is detailed, the story flows well from beginning to end and at times I was grateful I wasn’t alone in my house. I’ve been on a ghost tours before as I live near Salem MA and I would absolutely go to Crescent City and take a tour.

Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen. It just keeps getting better! I will say these books can be read as a stand-alone without any confusion but I do highly recommend the first story also and the characters are entwined also. So first and foremost let me just start by saying I was so completely drawn into Blake and Sydney’s story. I got so wrapped up I lost track of time and before I knew I’d been up ready late into the night because I couldn’t put it down. I love a story I can sink into and this author does just that with the story world she created. The characters are complex and relatable, each bringing something unique to the story. I love the mix of suspense, romance and paranormal and this author found just the right amount of each. It kept me on my toes and I loved every minute of it. I love the attention to even the smallest details making the story jump off the pages and come alive before your eyes. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Five stars all the way and I highly recommend not only this series but this author!

5 out of 5 stars

The story Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkiene is the next amazing story is a wonderful series. First off, I love books that are based in New Orleans. The city has a mystery and charm about it that I have not found in other locations. I also loved the storyline and the characters. Sydney Park and Blake Beaumont are wonderful to read about. The story has Blake joining forces with a tour company and Sydney. Not only does he want to join as a partner, but he also sees a chance to restart the relationship that he has with her. The story is full of mystery and has an atmosphere that takes you in the world of the unknown. What will happen when situations happen that could cause danger to both Sydney, Blake, and those around them? Will Blake and Sydney rekindle their relationship? What does the future hold for Blake, Sydney and the tour company? Read this book to find out. The story has emotional moments and my emotions went up and down with the characters. I grew to care about Sydney and Blake and wanted them to be happy. There are additional characters that interact with Sydney and Blake which I enjoyed reading about. This is a book that came to an end far too soon. I look forward to the next one in the series. I highly recommend this book and series.

This is the second book in this series, it just keeps getting better. I was pulled into the story from the start and couldn’t put it down until the last page. Sydney and Blake are great characters and the emotional rollercoaster ride as well as the suspense, mystery they took me on you won’t want to miss. They have a past but will there be a second chance in their future? Survival is a race against time, will time run out?. I highly recommend reading the rest of their story.

Love & Omens is the second book in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series. It can be read as a standalone, but I think the best enjoyment would come after reading the first book. You’ll get a better feel for the characters from the first book that are mentioned in this one. Plus, the first book was awesome!

Dealing with a psychic gift can be tricky. Syd makes a judgment call but it turns out to be a big mistake. When she gets a second chance at making it right, will she take it? I love second chance stories because it brings up a feeling of hope.

As always, I love this author’s ability to paint vivid pictures and develop intriguing characters. I also loved the use of psychometry in this story. It isn’t a gift a lot of authors write about when choosing the powers their character has.

I hope there are more books planned for this series!

Knowing how things will end before they even begin is a curse New Orleans tour guide Sydney Park has endured since she was a child. Her premonitions make surprises few and far between, and dating…

What’s the point?

Reading the past in objects has caused more trouble for Blake Beaumont than he cares to admit. Opening the Museum of the Macabre is his last attempt at using his ability and his college degree to make a living.

But the artifacts he’s acquired have haunting attachments that could put everyone’s lives in danger.

When Blake joins forces with Sydney’s tour company, he jumps at the chance to rekindle his relationship with her. She can’t help but fall for him all over again, until an ominous vision of a closed-casket funeral stops her cold.

Someone she loves is going to die.

If Sydney and Blake can’t unravel the mystery, their haunted pasts will eclipse any chance of a future.

If you like strong heroines and haunting mystery, you’ll love this spellbinding tale of romance in the Big Easy.
