Nocturne Falls #16
The Vampire's Former Flame
Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town where Halloween is celebrated 365 days a year. The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better. Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.
Ephelia Moreau doesn’t know she’s in danger. All she knows is that her mother’s up to something. Nothing new there. Her mother has been trying to dictate Ephie’s life since the day she was born. So when an old boyfriend suddenly appears and tells Ephie about the cool little town he lives in, Ephie jumps on the chance to take a trip, not realizing she’s doing exactly what her mother wants. Or what kind of trouble is headed her way.
Remy Lafitte wasn’t supposed to be in New Orleans. He was only there to see a sick friend, but then the mother of a former girlfriend finds him and asks for his help. He can’t refuse, and not just because her mother is threatening him. If Ephelia’s in danger, Remy will do anything he can to protect her (and her cat). She was, after all, the only woman he’s ever loved.
Ephie and Remy have a lot of catching up to do, but they may not get the chance when a real threat comes to Nocturne Falls. Suddenly, Ephie’s life hangs in the balance and Remy must make a decision. Even if it means breaking his own heart again.

The Vampire’s Former Flame by Kristen Painter
Nocturne Falls series #16. Paranormal romance on the lighter side. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Nocturne Falls. A town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year, so paranormals can live openly and tourist just think it’s just tourism.
Remy Lafitte travels to New Orleans to pay his respects to a former mentor and ends up having dinner with his lost love and disapproving mother. Remy is shocked when Ephelia is convinced to travel with him back to Nocturne Falls as a way to protect her from a threat. As expected, that threat does follow the trail back to the small town and it’s up to Remy and other residents to save the day.
🎧 I read this book first as an ebook and did a quick second read today via audiobook. The narration is done by B J Harrison who performs the full series and most of the author catalog. The narration is filled with emotions that make it fun to listen to although he does read slow in my opinion so listened at 1.6 which is slightly faster than my norm.
Entertaining and so much fun to be back in Nocturne Falls and revisit with some of the iconic characters. And I always love the pets in these books. Who can resist a ghost cat that sits on Remy’s head?

The Story is Still Cute…
I enjoyed this book after reading another of the books in the series. This one, though not as heart warming as ‘The Vampire’s Accidental Wife’ had its own charming.
It had endearing characters, a good plot, no infuriating miscommunication trope and two conflicts. Which worked in its favour strictly because the first of the conflicts had a similar set up as the previous book I read in the series. I didn’t want it to be more of the same, so I was happy when we got the second conflict. An act that was completely unexpected on my end. It was nice watching Ephie come into her own with her mother and learn more about Leonie.
I will say, a very heavy topic was brushed over in a ‘blink and you miss it’ moment that I did not appreciate. That with Leonie and Solomon. That was pretty heavy and I wished more focus was given to that. I know author wanted story to be light as evidenced by her no killing rule, but that needed more than a ‘oh this happened.’
Enjoyed the writing style, enjoyed the characters. 4/5 stars

Nocturne Falls for the win!
I will always be ecstatic to go back to Nocturne Falls. I've wished for Remy's story for a while and I'm so happy to have gotten it! So so good!

Series: Nocturne Falls #16
Rating: 4 stars - It was really good
When Remy Lafitte sneaks back into his old hometown to say goodbye to a dying friend, he never expects the mother of his former girlfriend to ask for his help. Ephelia is the only woman he has ever loved and he never expected he would get this second chance with her. While they have a lot of catching up to do, they quickly find that the danger has followed them to Nocturne Falls.
I always get excited when I see a new Nocturne Falls book because I love this town and the people within it. Remy has appeared throughout this series and is one of the last members of the sheriff’s department who hasn’t fallen in love so I was excited to see him finally get a book.
Remy and Ephelia fell in love 12 years ago while Ephelia was in college, but their pride and naivety pushed them apart. Now they are getting a second chance but danger keeps appearing. I really enjoyed Remy and Ephelia’s story and how they slowly got to know the new versions of themselves. I really liked that there weren't a lot of comparison scenes between their old selves and now because that quickly gets tiring and takes away from their current relationship.
While this story does involve a heavy topic of stalking and threats of harm, it mostly focused on Remy and Ephelia and rekindling their relationship. Yes there are discussions of the danger and a few dangerous scenes for the couple, but overall it was about the romance between them, which I was glad for. My only real complaint is that the situation with her father towards the end of the book felt a bit tacked on and rushed, but I still enjoyed it overall.
Overall, this was another great Nocturne Falls book and another great couple. Remy and Ephelia are a great addition to the town and I can’t wait to see them pop up in future books. Also I really want to see more of Jean-Luc, Ephelia’s ghost cat, because he was adorable and a great pet.

My favorite part was the ghost cat! The rest of the story was somewhat bland. I did not feel the love connection between the two main characters at all. It was also very strange that the main vampire did not enjoy the taste of blood… what the heck kind of vampire doesn’t love blood???

I really love Nocturne Falls! I wish I could live there! This is another great book in the Nocturne Falls Series. I love all the characters. This book is no exception.

Deputy Remy Lafitte of the NFPD is up and he's in a bit of a pickle. Well, it's not so pickle-ish, really. But he does find himself suddenly tasked with keeping his former lady friend safe by said lady friend's mother, who does NOT like vampires. Which means Ephie must really be in danger if her mama is coming to him, of all people.
So (with some creative finagling by Ephie's mom), Remy and Ephie are off to Nocturne Falls were they have a chance to get reacquainted. Seeing how Ephie's being kept in the dark about the danger (which Remy is NOT happy about), Remy is being kept on his toes. By Ephie (because she really is his one true love) and by the danger that could pop up at any moment.
On Ephie's end, she was too young when she and Remy first met and her mother's hatred of vampires might have influenced her response when Remy wanted to take things further. But she's never forgotten the charming vampire and having him reappear after so long is...actually, it's kind of weird. And it's even weirder that her mom isn't digging in her heels about them spending time together. But Ephie's willing to take what she can get and spending time with Remy is really no hardship. Then danger comes knocking and suddenly things take a turn.
Complicated family ties, a hint of voodoo, danger, even more complicated family ties, a vampire who never stopped loving the woman who captured his heart, and a lady who is far more than what she seems. I must say, I enjoy spending time in Nocturne Falls. Even when danger is around every corner. *thumbs up*

It's time to go back to Nocturne Falls! While this is book 16, if you haven't read the series yet this can be a standalone.
Kristen has written another fun and exciting adventure for us as we get to know Remy (the vampire deputy) and his ex, Ephelia, a fire witch. Their love story takes us through some history, but is heartwarming and sweet.
As always, thre are plenty of fun characters, including those we've met previously. We get new magical information to add to the world of Nocturne Falls. And there is an absolutely adorable cat to keep us on our toes through the entire story! This little guy is extra special.
B.J. Harrison does a fantastic job with narration. His smooth voice is wonderful to listen to, and his character voices and acting skills keep listeners engaged.
If you love fantasy, romance, adventure and a feisty feline then check out Nocturne Falls and this latest installment!
Spice Level: 🌶️ (1/5) Kissing, romance, no coarse language, no intimate scenes

This book is another great book in the Nocturne Falls Series. Remy was always a character I wanted to know more about. The vampire is a descendant of an infamous pirate. He currently is a deputy for the Nocturne Falls sheriff's office. Ephie is his former love and a witch. Neither of them has gotten over each other. Ephie's mother ends up being targeted by some crooks who also threaten Ephie. Remy must take Ephie to Nocturne Falls to hide her without letting her know why. This is one of the most suspenseful books in the Nocturne Falls series. They have a few close calls throughout the book. What other secrets is Ephie's mom keeping from her. In this book there are also appearances from Birdie, Elenora and Alice. Every Nocturne Falls Book also includes a great pet (mostly cats). This book is no exception and has a new twist, a ghost cat (I want one!). Such a fun book in a fun series.

THE VAMPIRE’S FORMER FLAME is a second chance romance set in the Nocturne Falls series. Remy is a centuries old vampire, who had a relationship with the daughter of a witch. It ended, but now her mother, who is a powerful judge, contacts him because her daughter is in danger due to a criminal that she put behind bars making threats to harm her and her and Effie. She asks Remy to get Effie out of New Orleans and protect her. This was a cute addition to the series, with vampire and witch lore, meddling mothers, and plenty of time spent eating all the good food in Nocturne Falls. Add in Effie’s talking ghost cat (who’s a real cutie) and I was sold! 4/5 stars.

This book has been so emotional for me that during chapter 33 I had to get the tissues 😢 . There's so many different plots that complement each other making it hard to stop listening. I had to check the time left thinking that is about to finish and then it takes several turns. I was not expecting the last chapters character.
Remy and Epholia back each other without dominating or criticizing each other. She's not someone that you can step on. You can see how her confidence grows.
Thank you for writing this wonderful book.

This is an excellent addition to the Nocturne Falls Universe. The plot starts with threatening letters, goes on with an attack that ends in danger of death, and then a new danger appears, that supasses it all! It keeps you reading and turning pages till the end. We see a lot more of the series characters doing their magic: Eleanor, Alice, Birdie, and the new ones in this story are just great. And there is a GHOST cat! Lovely and so cute! It´s a wonderful book, well worth buying and reading. Don´t miss it.

On a trip to New Orleans to see an old friend, Nocturne Falls Police Deputy Remy Lafitte runs into the love of his life who got away: Ephie Moreau. But her mother, a Louisiana judge has been getting death threats from an imprisoned mobster, so Remy volunteers for Ephie to stay at his house in Nocturne Falls until things cool down, hoping it’ll lead to more.
I love the cat: Jean-Luc.
Fave scenes: Lafitte’s ring, the little girl in the elevator, Alice’s flame and Alice’s solution with Jean-Luc.

While I'm a fan of all the Nocturne Falls books this one is definitely in my top 5.
I thought I had it figured out as to who did what and how but I was wrong and as much as I enjoy finding out I was right I enjoy being surprised even more. I liked learning why some characters behaved the way they did and seeing some of them grow. If you think you know what's in store for you I can tell you with confidence you don't but you'll have a fantastic time finding out.

2024 bk 50 Well done! I've long wanted to know more about Remy and this book fulfilled my wishes. The story of Remy and his lost flame was well put together with just the right amount of suspense and ups and downs. Also pleasing was how much Alice Bishop was included in this tale and I'd love to see more about her mentoring of Remy's girl. Kristen Painter always pleases in the cozy, paranormal, mystery, romance plotting - long may she continue to do so.

The Vampire's Former Flame is book 16 in the Nocturne Falls series. This was a great addition to the series. I loved this book and didn't want to stop listening. It was great to finally get Remy's story. I have always wondered about him. The narration was great. I highly recommend this series and this book. Even though it can be enjoyed as a standalone book, I feel like you get so much more from listening to the series in order. 5 stars.

The Vampires Former Flame
Remy goes to New Orleans to see a sick friend and is contacted by his former girlfriend's mother who is a Federal Judge. Someone is after her and she wants Remy to protect her daughter Ephie. He agrees and takes her back to Nocturne Falls to protest her. But troubles are not far behind them. This book was a race from beginning to the end. I would highly recommend this book and the whole series.

i dunno, man. didn’t grab me. the first chapter was the vampire guy eating at cafe du monde and describing new orleans like a travel guide. the second chapter was the female character’s mom (i assume, i didn’t read to confirm) being worried about a threat to her daughter.
i might try the first in the series to see if the picks up the pace in the first chapter(s) or if this isn’t the only one that creeps along. pun intended.

And gotta love a book with Birdie in it! The story line did not disappoint. I was glued to it till the end! Loved it!! Oh and one more thing. Jean-Luc is the most adorable cat ever!!!

Another absolutely wonderful Painter!
I’ve read all of Kristen Painter’s Nocturne Falls novels, and every one of them has been magical, including this one!
She dreams up wonderful protagonists (and is this story, a rather terrifying antagonist!), the intricate story elements that are so fun, the challenges that have to be surmounted, all make for a delightfully riveting novel!
I’m so happy to find that she’s still writing in this universe!

2nd chance romance
I love all of the Nocturne Falls books. Each is a stand alone HEA story. This one was super awesome. Vampires, witches and a ghost cat, all involved. Even the future mother-in-law finally accepts Remy, a vampire, as the man her daughter will marry. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

As with all the Nocturne Falls books this one was a great read. Loved the 2 lead characters and how they interacted with the well loved townspeople we have come to love. Always a treat and a fun and easy read. Kristin Painter delivers again! ❤️

A visit to Nocturne Falls is always a fun and captivating adventure. I love the paranormal mix of citizens that live there, all their quirks, and how they always look out for each other! Ophelia and Remy's story is a terrific addition to this world. Jean Luc had me just rolling with laughter at times.
As always, the audio narration was delightful and perfectly done!!

Dead is not dead!
The fun with historical vampire relatives,is that they like in modern exotic cities! New Orleans is one of the most exotic cities in the USA! Not only home to the Lafitte of yesteryear but the Nocturne Falls firestorm dragons! Enjoy all the Nocturne Falls residents!

Ephie and Remy are so adorable together and this is another great addition to the Nocturne Falls world. I love any of the Nocturne Falls books and learning more about the locals. Remy's story with Ephie is great and I highly recommend even if you haven't read any of the other books this can stand alone and is wonderful! Ephie's cat even just elevates this book even more!!

Yet another Nocturne Falls triumph!!!!
I have read and reread this series at least twenty times and love it even more each time I do! Love, laughs, mystery and intrigue are in each chapter. I want to move to Nocturne Falls as soon as possible and can't wait for the next installment in this amazing series.
