Life’s a Witch by Carrie Pulkinen a five-star read that will set your pages on fire. This is number three in the New Orleans Nocturnal series and the have just gone from strength to strength.

This is my favourite of the series as I adore Crimson, she isn’t bad like some people think, just a little clumsy and not the best witch in the world, I think she

Life’s a Witch is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. Another fantastic, sexy, and funny Paranormal Romantic Comedy from Ms. Pulkinen.

After meeting Crimson in Shift Happens (Book Two) and discovering she would get her own story in Book Three- I couldn’t wait to dive in. And I have to say, Ms. Pulkinen doesn’t disappoint!

LIFE'S A WITCH is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. Though each romance will stand on its own, for better enjoyment you will want to read this series in the order of release.
The New Orleans Nocturnes Series is laugh-out-loud funny – each book funnier than the last. I mean really – snorting and giggling laughter was heard! I don’t have to make the joke about “The Devil Went Down to…,” cause it and a lot of other great (and some groan-worthy) fun is included.

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Life's a Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy by Carrie Pulkinen is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. I absolutely love this series! From the first book (License to Bite) I was hooked on this series. I have laughed so hard that I've about peed myself at the antics of these well written and lovingly developed characters. While each of the books can be read stand alone (but trust me, you WANT to read them in order and work your way through the humorou

This is the first book by this author that I've read, but it won't be the last. While I don't feel like I was lost from not reading the previous books in the series, I do wish I would have read them first. I enjoyed the story line and loved the flow of the book. I adored the character work that was done. I found myself laughing out loud several times. I look forward to more from this author.

This trilogy was a fast and fun read. Filled with supernaturals that are snarky and funny, the women are strong and not afraid to say what they think, the men are caring alphas who will do whatever it takes to keep their woman. I read all three books in one day. I'm up after midnight writing this so you know I loved it! ...more

I love this series. Just enough 💋💋💋 to be naughty without over doing it. I love a good story with some sex. Great writing. Only complaint? The author used "strut" and " strutting " a little too much in the two books I read. But that aside, a good read and I recommend reading this book. ...more

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.

Another fun paranormal romantic comedy in Carrie Pulkinen’s ‘New Orleans Nocturnes’ series “Ride along on a journey from the Big Easy to hell and back again in this fast, steamy paranormal romantic comedy!” states the blurb, and I was not disappointed as that is exactly what I got.

This is the third book in the Nocturnes series and although it can be read as a stand-alone, I suggest that you read the others as well. This series is amazing and you’ll enjoy them all.

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.
