New Orleans Nocturnes #4
Finders Reapers
The grim reaper took a vacation...
Now all hell is breaking loose.
With an existential crisis looming over his head, Asher needs a break from reaping souls. But when he leaves his door to the underworld unattended, one escaped ghost threatens to turn the French Quarter into a haven for the hell-bound.
Oh, and that crisis he was trying to escape? Her name is Jasmine Lee, and she could be the death of him.
The literal death of Death. Yep. You heard that right.
There’s no such thing as too dead when it comes to necromancer Jasmine Lee. She’s never met a ghost she can’t tame, but when a thousand ornery spirits descend upon New Orleans, her secret weakness is a recipe for phantasmal disaster.
Holy ghost guts. She’s in trouble.
The unfairly hot reaper is the last person Jasmine wants to work with. But if she doesn’t help Asher wrangle the lost souls back to the underworld, there will be hell to pay.
Literally.
Enjoy a smoldering brush with Death in this fast, fun romantic comedy.

I enjoyed getting to know more about Asher and Jasmine in this funny book. It was very interesting to see the side characters with their own book. I will definitely read more in the series. If you are looking for an easy, romantic fantasy read this is it for you.

I listened to the audiobook version narrated by Hollie Jackson and really enjoyed it. Jasmine Lee can talk to ghosts. Asher is an immortal Reaper who takes ghosts to the underworld where Charon ferries them to their final destination. Jasmine has fallen in love with Asher and kissed him, only to have him freak out and literally ghost her. Because he can see himself falling for her. But that could cause him to lose his immortality. However, when one of Hell’s ghosts escapes, Asher’s door that allows him access to the underworld closes and he is tasked with capturing the ghost in order to get his door opened. In the meantime, ghosts that should have moved on are piling up in NOLA causing problems for Jasmine. They will need to work together or there will be hell to pay. The plot was crisp and fast paced, the characters well developed and the humor was great! Can’t wait for the next book in the series!
I received the audiobook from the author through StoryOrigin in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the concept of a love story between Death and a Necromancer. It was interesting and unlike anything I've read before.
The characters were fun to read about and I liked how everything ties together.
What I didn't particularly like is how the author breezed through the entire story. The love story was cute but the execution wasn't good -- I literally read Jasmine and Asher fall in love with each other, but I didn't see/read about how they got there. It's difficult to explain, but I hope it made sense.
Out of all the books in this series, I was drawn to this plot the most. This was the one I was super excited to read about and though I didn't enjoy the pacing (and execution) it still didn't disappoint. Hopefully I get to read the other books in the series this year.
I recommend this book to those who want a quick and easy read about supernaturals. It's cute and fun, nothing too complex or out of this world.

So Funny
A Death Reaper and a Necromancer kiss...Sounds like the start of a joke right? Close its the start of a rocky relationship that has ghosts congregating in the Big Easy. New Orleans has become infested with them. Now the protagonists need to clean up the mess.
I found it engagingly sweet, also sexy and comical. This author writes humor in its many forms as banter between the characters. I recommend reading from book one to get the intro’s for the supporting characters although it isn’t necessary for the story.

Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 4) by Carrie Pulkinen is a delightful paranormal romance story that is full of magic and ghosts, fun and humour, passion and angst, heartache and angst, chaos and disorder. The witty banter between the characters had me laughing out loud. Carrie has a knack for bringing her unusual bunch of characters to life in her action-packed tales, that they feel like friends and this one is no different. The romance sizzles off the page and makes for a nice enjoyable afternoon read. Bring wine!

So this is a witty paranormal romance story that is full of magic, ghosts, fun, humour, passion, angst, heartache, chaos and disorder. On several occasions I found myself laughing out loud at the banter between the characters and I love the storyline and the twists thrown in! Who said a reaper and a necromancer couldn’t fall in love?? A Fantabulous read!
September 11, 2020
I liked it a lot! It wasn't as funny as the others, but it was more endearing and heart felt! I loved both characters and I even liked Charon! I like a lot this take on mythology (I really loved Satan too)! Now I'm thinking that Katrina and Gaston would make a fantastic match!
January 10, 2021
This book is just as good as #1-#3. This addition to the series adds to the character basis. I love that each book gives us a new couple to enjoy. Exploring all of the abilities of these characters has been an adventure that I will never forget! Carrie Pulkinen is an amazing writer with a magnificent imagination.

This is the story of Asher and Jasmine, one a reaper and the other a necromancer, they both deal with the dead, but they do get in each other's way, but when Asher takes a vacation and leaves his door unattended, the ghosts know of only one other person who can help and much to her annoyance, it is Jasmine.
Jasmine opens the story at the morgue she works in, she is helping a couple of werewolves find out if someone died after being attacked by one of their kind, or whether it was just a normal dog, so she calls the spirit back from the other side to briefly reinhabit his body and give them the answers they are looking for, it is not the most pleasant of things to do, but as a necromancer, Jasmine is used to it, even if her clients normally end up throwing up in the bin. She asks if they want to go for drinks after the soul has been returned to the aether, but after what they just saw, it’s a resounding no, infact, it’s more often than not a no, people don’t like to associate with people who are around the dead a lot, this train of thought reminds her about Asher and how he ran a mile when she kissed him and asked him out, but when she goes to leave the morgue, she finds that the spirit she was talking to earlier is still waiting around by stepping through the poor guy and feeling like he sucked the energy right out of her, it turns out, that;s exactly what he was doing, a fun little weakness necromancers have. He starts talking to Jasmine and saying that he can’t find the light and neither can some other ghosts, but when they do find their way to it, the door is locked, Jasmine says that she will talk to the reaper for him, but has to go to a bachelorette party first.
Meanwhile, Asher is swimming in the sea and trying to get back to shore, he now knows why the no swimming sign was there, even being an immortal, he had struggled against the riptide, but now he is back safely on the beach, he thinks about why he made this impromptu trip to off season Aruba, it is to get his mind away from his emotions and a certain necromancer who he is trying to avoid and not think about how she makes him feel, reapers don’t usually have emotions and he always tried to play by the rules, but sometimes he just needed a break from reaping souls. So, drink in hand, he sat on his lounge chair and soaked up the sun, that us until another reaper materialises and questions him about his motives for being there, this led to more thoughts about how he is different from the other reapers and how he was scared that he may be falling for a necromancer and that would mean their fates would end up tied and he would become mortal and die, but was that something he wanted? It is during the conversation about how he had left his door unlocked with a fairy light on it that the consequences of that light attracting a spirit to cross back over from the other side, it is at this point that Asher rushes to check his phone and when that fries with all the notifications, he hopes that it doesn’t mean that his home is overrun as well.
It is when he gets back and realises that his door is locked that he calls in a favour to check what has happened in hell and indeed finds out that a ghost has escaped from his door and that it is the one who will cause the most problems for him, so when he asks Jasmine for help, she initially refuses him because of their past, however, when the ghosts keep coming to her for answers, she realises that helping Asher will be the only way that she can get some peace and quiet while also keeping her energy. Can this unlikely pairing work together to help the souls move on, or will the one who escaped keep causing more trouble than they bargained for? This is a romantic comedy with a whole slew of ghostly happenings and unusual elements added into the mix, but the end is only found by following along with their spiritual capers.

When I reviewed Life’s a Witch, I truly believed it was the end of the series, so imagine my excited shock when I saw that a new book was coming out! I was downright giddy if I’m honest.
If you’ve read my reviews of the other books, it’s pretty clear I really liked all of them. Honestly? This one’s my favorite, and I didn’t see it coming. I wasn’t sure Sophie and Trace could be beaten as my favorite couple. Bonus? Trace is on the very first page of this book!
Jane, Sophie, and Crimson aren’t really in this book, but I didn’t think about that too much until I just went to write that. Jasmine and Asher aren’t as connected to the three women, so it made sense. Jasmine knows the werewolf pack, as evidenced by Trace and Jax being present right off the bat, and Asher is best friends with our favorite demon from Life’s a Witch, Mike, so we get to catch up with him too.
Jasmine, or Jazz, is a necromancer. We met her previously, but not for long. She helped Crim connect with her mother. And this reanimator of the dead has it bad for the collector of souls of New Orleans. She’s spunky and feisty, yet she’d do anything for those she loves. All the women of this series are people I’d want to hang out with if I could!
Honestly, when Asher was previously introduced I didn’t think a whole lot about him. He seemed to be somewhat of a side character, and he was… at the time. Now he’s the leading man, and oh does he. There’s something about the hard yet soft, caring yet rebellious, hotter-than-sin reaper. To know he’s different from the rest of his kind, to be so drawn to the one being in both the over and underworld who could be the end of him – well, let’s say it was very endearing. In the end, he’s now my favorite of all four of them!
With everything the two of them go through together (Faraday cage dress and ancient pirates, anyone?), how could they not end up together! You know I won’t give away any major spoilers, but there are a couple of doozies in here!
This series is one of my favorites in a while – they’re great reads when everything in the world seems dark right now. I feel like this book is a little bit of a new chapter in the series, and I’m totally alright with that. These quick reads are addictive, and I can’t get enough of them. Pulkinen has a great way of mixing the paranormal and humor and I’m hooked!
If you’ve gotten this far and haven’t picked up all the books, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Go go go!

Finders Reapers is the fourth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. As expected, this is another fantastic, fun, sexy, and humorous Paranormal Romance from Ms. Pulkinen. I have really been enjoying my time exploring the New Orleans Nocturnes “world”, with each new book adding more depth and dimension to the series as a whole.
Having met both Asher and Jasmine previously in the series, I was really excited to get my hands on their story. Hello! Grim Reaper and Necromancer story- I knew it was going to be brilliant the moment I began.
As I have said previously, this series just seems to get better with each new instalment- with Ms. Pulkinen upping the ante with each new release- delivering a captivating, original, sexy, fun, and humorous take on New Orleans’ paranormal life- and giving each book its own unique identity in the wonderful world she’s crafted.
This a paranormal romance done brilliantly- with fantasy, ghosts, secrets, magic, drama, intrigue, danger, the supernatural, paranormal activity, demons, suspense, emotion, pandemonium, different realms, mystery, adventure, action, and lots of humour- making for quite a touching, magical, mysterious and spellbinding ride.
When the Grim Reaper takes a break to regroup, all hell breaks loose- bringing mayhem and chaos in its wake. Asher’s job just got so much more complicated. But with one powerful, dangerous, and wily ghost keeping him from completing his mission, Asher is going to need some help if he’s to set things right before it’s all too late. A powerful necromancer is just what he needs- but adding Jasmine to the already combustible mix brings its own set of complications. Get set for the sparks to fly, in more ways than one!!!
I can’t wait for another New Orleans Nocturnes story- as I am definitely not ready to say goodbye yet, with so many more characters that I’d like to know more about.
Fantastic!!
Thank you, Ms. Pulkinen!

Finders Reapers by Carrie Pulkinen is absolutely wonderful! As with the rest of the New Orleans Nocturnes Books it stands alone so if you haven't read the others, you'll still enjoy this one. Of course I recommend them as they really bring so much to the overall experience.
I love paranormal books, the magic, the fantasy, the things that go bump in the night, the wonder if something just might be real! And this story was everything I hoped and expected it to be. Witty banter, funny as hell (sorry, couldn't resist), sexy, mysterious, spellbinding, and some twists and turns that I wasn't expecting!
Who would have thought that a book about a Grim Reaper and a Necromancer could be so laugh out loud funny?
Jasmine is a necromancer who is enjoying life, except for a couple of minor thing, mainly the guy she really likes seemingly wants nothing to do with her after they shared an explosive kiss.
Asher, that guy, I mentioned, is a Grim Reaper, and decides to take a vacation to clear his head, and when he does, well all hell breaks loose. Literally!
When ghosts overtake New Orleans the two of them are forced to work together and the sparks fly. Their exploits take you on a journey that is hysterically funny, charming, and sexy. Ms Pulkinen's writing style is wonderful. She sets the scene so that I feel I'm in New Orleans. Her characters come to life. The book is filled with witty banter, humor, a couple of surprises and some cattiness (read the book and you'll know just what I mean).
Each book in this series is just as good, if not better than the one before. The stories are original, with characters that you'd love to know in real life. Finders Reapers is a fast, engaging, read that is worth the while. I'm happy to have it on my bookshelf and I know you will be too.
Enjoy!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "FINDERS REAPERS" Another fantastic book in the "New Orleans Nocturnes Series" full of humor, angst, intrigue, magic, heartache, passion, twist you never saw coming.
Asher is a Reaper who decides to take a vacation to Aruba to get away from his feelings for certain necromancer he is death and afraid of love because of what happened to his parents but he didn't know his actons would cause havoc in New Orleans.
Jasmine Lee is a powerful necromancer who can control any spirit or ghost to get information needed she was hurt by Asher he rejected her after a kiss broke her heart now she hates him but she needs to talk to him because Cameron one of the ghosts she hot information from said he couldn't find the light and the door wac locked couldn't go through.
Jasmine tried calling Asher but couldn't reach him Cameron found her again and said they needed help they three times as many ghosts as before and mire kept showing up causing her problems.
Jazz was at her cousin Raina's bridezilla party at the bar with BF Katarina a demon succubus and twin sister Ella when Asher showed up and told him what the h*ll is going on with all the ghosts and his door bring locked to embarrassed to tell her what happened he said there was a glitch in the Underworld he was trying to fix it.

Another great entry in the series. Asher and Jasmine were really great together and their romance was super sweet. This book was action packed with a high stakes mission to solve that could end in both of their deaths! Add in some humor and a lovable ghost cat, it's easily another enjoyable read for me. I really like this series of books and hope the author continues matchmaking couples! I highly recommend this book.
Finders Reapers is the fourth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series.

Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 4)
By Carrie Pulkinen
5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 4) by Carrie Pulkinen. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down until the final page. I loved the characters of Asher and Jasmine. They find themselves in a situation that includes one escaped ghost and disorder in the French Quarter. They will have to work together if they want to get the souls of the lost to the underworld. Read this book to find out what happens. This is a story that has lighthearted moments that made me laugh as well as romantic moments. I grew to care about what happened to Asher and Jasmine with each chapter that I read. I couldn’t help but wish for them to find happiness. I enjoyed the bantering and interactions between the two of them. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that had their part to play. The author does a wonderful job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive on the page. Don’t miss out on a story that is intriguing, romantic, comical, and entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.

It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down until the final page. I loved the characters of Asher and Jasmine. They find themselves in a situation that includes one escaped ghost and disorder in the French Quarter. They will have to work together if they want to get the souls of the lost to the underworld. Read this book to find out what happens. This is a story that has lighthearted moments that made me laugh as well as romantic moments. I grew to care about what happened to Asher and Jasmine with each chapter that I read. I couldn’t help but wish for them to find happiness. I enjoyed the bantering and interactions between the two of them. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that had their part to play. The author does a wonderful job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive on the page. Don’t miss out on a story that is intriguing, romantic, comical, and entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.

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!

All good things must come to an end. Sad but true. And we have reached the final book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. At least the final book SO FAR…
I cannot say how much I have enjoyed this series. Ms. Pulkinen has an incredible ability to spin a funny, engaging tale and I have never laughed so hard reading a series as I did with this one. Ms. Pulkinen did not disappoint with this final book. If anything, she finished the series with the BEST. BOOK. YET.
Death takes a holiday…
No, really it does...well the Grim Reaper does and this causes major problems. Enlisting the help of Necromancer Jasmine Lee, he must wrangle some unruly ghosts and get them back to the underworld before the world goes to well...that place. With chemistry, that’s hot, hot, hot, and some unholy bad luck, these two have the work cut out for them!
Ms. Pulkinen again brings witty humor, twists and turns, and fantastic chemistry to the reader with Asher and Jasmine’s story. Catching up with old friends, meeting new ones, the steamy backdrop of the French Quarter all combine to finish out a wonderful series. Ms. Pulkinen is a wonderful storyteller and I hope upon hope that she will continue this series!

A Sexy Death... Why not?!
Parents: This is Not for kids or teens. R rated - There is quite a bit of bad language in this book. The violence is normal fantasy levels and sexual content is pretty heavy: lots of adult bedroom humor and pretty hard to miss insinuations and puns, along with a pretty detailed bedroom scene. This one was a bit cleaner then the Santa novella but still an adult read.
Beyond the warnings I enjoyed this one much more then I did Santa Got Run Over By a Vampire. I loved the twists and mash up with the necromancer's character and ability flaws, and the fun take on Reaper with his duties and personal flaws. The mix of two main characters and thrown in drama with the sudden consequence of a back log of souls waiting to move on because the reaper took an emotional holiday was definitely fun... not to mention the possessed cat. If a fun, comedic, paranormal, fantasy, romance, adventure sounds intriguing then this one's worth a shot.
The narrator does a great job, has good differentiation between characters, and is fun to listen to.

I really enjoy the books in Carrie Pulkinen’s ‘New Orleans Nocturnes’ series and this latest story which is book four, was just as good as the previous books. They can all be read as standalone stories although some of the characters do crossover. This was a fun paranormal romantic comedy with great characters. It has a very original storyline, in that the grim reaper, who is also called Asher, takes a holiday but whilst he’s away the door to the underworld is unattended and the ghosts start to wonder around New Orleans, in the French Quarter to be exact. Meanwhile necromancer Jasmine Lee suddenly finds herself surrounded by spirits needing help. Asher, once he returns from his holiday, and Jasmine have to work together to ensure all the lost souls return to the underworld. I love the two main characters, Asher and Jasmine and enjoyed the witty banter they shared. The chemistry between them also sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. This was a fairly short story, but action packed and it was an easy going fun read with plenty of laughs and romance.

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.

I have read a few books from this author but she continues to blow my mind. I absolutely love paranormal romance but she always exceeds my expectations. This is the fifth book of the New Orleans nocturnal series. This book could be read as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited to read this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this awesome book.
Asher needs a break from being the reaper so he goes on vacation. He is having fun but he leaves his door unattended which is a big problem. Asher doesn’t realize that someone escapes from the underworld which causes even more problems. He then has to get help from the one girl that gives him butterflies, Jasmine. She is a necromancer and she can tame usually any ghost but when Asher’s door gets locked she has to help him figure out a way to get these ghosts back. Will Asher and Jasmine figure out how to open his door or will they have to answer to the devil himself?

Gleeful Goblin Review: What happens when a Grim Reaper and a Necromancer mess around and fall in love? This amazing, hilarious, cheeky story! This is Book 4 in the New Orleans Nocturnes series and I feel like the author does an incredible job keeping each individual story feeling fresh while also staying connected to the same world and having at times characters in common! It gives richness to the stories because they all build out just a little more of this world.
Our FMC Jasmine is a hard working Necromancer and our MMC Asher is a burnt out Reaper who wants to just take a BREAK. But when a Reaper takes an unapproved vacation and leaves a certain door a tiny bit ajar let's say....anything can start happening AND IT DOES. Now, there's more ghosts than you can shake a charm at and guess who they can talk to and desperately want the help of? Yeah, it's Jasmine much to her dismay. Nothing is ever easy, no matter which side of Life you're on but if anyone can set things right it'll be Jasmine and Asher.....hopefully. 5/5 Stars

Who else but Carrie could give you romantic comedy that has ghosts and ghouls and other things that go bump in the night all set in the supernaturally charged environment of New Orleans (this series makes me want to visit New Orleans) A well written book and series that has you laughing all the time and is the perfect remedy for the crappy world we live in at the moment Perfect escapism

I really enjoyed this new release today that details the love story between Necromancer, Jasmine, and the Reaper, Asher. I loved that they quickly got on the same page to combat a common problem. I love that Jasmine is secure in her own self even though it does not meet societal norms. I love that she is powerful and confident in her abilities. I love Asher and that he is trying to balance self-preservation with making sure Jasmine is safe throughout the story. I love when he finally gives in regardless of the cost to himself in order to protect her. His love is so sweet and I just loved him as the hero. I also love that Jasmine is willing to make her own sacrifices for Asher. This love story was funny and still hot with lots of self-sacrificing romance mixed in. This was a great addition to the series and I can't wait to see what comes next. This book is written n third person with a dual POV.

This is the fourth book in this series which I highly suggest reading all books in this series to help enhance your enjoyment. This is a shorter book which I enjoyed. I was pulled in right from the beginning. It is fast paced and had me turning pages just as fast. I had no problem connecting to the characters as they brought the story to life. 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. Some lost souls escaped the underworld and now Asher and Jasmine are left to bring them back. She is the last person he wants to work with but fate may have something else in mind for them. Will they be able to gather up the lost souls in time? This was a fun, entertaining story to read and made a great afternoon story. I highly recommend this book.

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.

FINDERS REAPERS is the fourth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. Though each book in this series will stand on its own, I highly, highly, highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release. You do not want to miss this fun visit to Paranormal New Orleans. This is a lot more than ghost stories about Marie Laveau. Me, personally, I squeal when there is a new Carrie Pulkinen story available.
Fun, funny, witty, angsty, passion, and lots of ghosts – this story is an absolute delight. The series just keeps getting better. Romantic comedy at its best! There is plenty of interaction with old friends, but still stands on its own.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Audio book review
Book four in the New Orleans Nocturnes series By Carrie Pulkimen. Even though it’s book 4 , each book can be listened to as a stand-alone. You did meet the hero and heroine in previous stories, now they get their own . This is necromancer Jasmine Lee and reaper Asher's story. This story has lots of twists and turns like all of Carrie stories does , there are some very funny scenes in it. It’s starts off when Jasmin scares Asher with her feelings that open up Ashers feelings. It’s reminds Asher of some things that might come to pass if he opens himself up to feels. So what does Asher do but …. Run and that’s when the souls that didn’t see Hades take advantage of Asher taking a vacation. How does Asher fix his mistake, does he tell Jasmine how he feels
Hollie Jackson was fantastic she brought you into the story. Her performance actually made you laugh in some scenes
