Audiobook review.
Carrie Pulkinen’s New Orleans Nocturnes continues with a bang—or rather, a bat-shaped crash. Batshift Crazy follows Gaston Bellevue, a bat-shifting vampire whose drunken antics land him in a cage at an animal sanctuary. Maeve O'Meara, the last bat shifter in New Orleans, is terrified of vampires… until she comes face-to-face with one who feels strangely familiar.
Gaston’s chaotic charm and metaphor-mangling tendencies steal the spotlight, serving up laugh-out-loud absurdity wrapped in tender romance and spicy interludes. Carrie Pulkinen masterfully balances humour and heart, creating a world where every character feels like an old friend and each new installment is like a long-awaited reunion.
Hollie Jackson’s narration is pitch-perfect, capturing Gaston’s lovable madness and Maeve’s wary strength with just the right blend of emotion and comedic timing. Her performance turns every quirky moment into a vivid experience, making the audiobook thoroughly engaging from start to finish.
Ideal for fans of paranormal romantic comedies filled with vampires, demons, and sizzling chemistry, Batshift Crazy is a gloriously witty and unexpectedly touching ride through the supernatural side of New Orleans.
