It's all fun and games…until someone wakes up dead.

Governor's daughter Jane Anderson is used to getting what she wants. When a girls' trip to Mardi Gras thrusts her into the arms—and fangs—of New Orleans' hottest vampire, he gifts her with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for.

There's only one tiny problem. Jane faints at the sight of blood.

When Ethan Devereaux meets Jane, his cold, lifeless heart learns to beat again. Convinced she's his late fiancée reincarnated, he turns her, claiming her as his own. But when Jane wakes up dead in Ethan's attic, she's loud, sassy, and downright ornery. He doesn't know if he should kiss her or stake her, but one thing's for certain…

She is so not his long-lost love.

But Ethan turned her, so he's stuck with her. Jane has three weeks to learn the ways of the vampire and get her license, or she'll be staked. If Ethan can't help her overcome her aversion to blood, his undead life might also be on the line.

Join the supes of New Orleans Nocturnes as they lighten up the darker side of the Big Easy in this fast, steamy romantic comedy.

The New Orleans Nocturnes Series

Fantastic. It's just my luck I get turned into a vampire by an Edward Cullen wannabe who has Captain Jack Sparrow as his mentor.

All I wanted was to have the time of my life with my bestie at Mardi Gras. Now I'm a vampire, she might be a witch, and werewolves and demons? Yeah, they're real too.

Holy hellhounds. What have we gotten ourselves into?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A hysterical, unique twist to the vampire genre! Her characters are delightfully quirky. The heroine is full of spice and the hero is broodingly nice. Readers will laugh out loud at the saucy and hilarious banter." ~InD'tale Magazine

"Oh my gosh this book is hilarious! Not just parts of it...all the way through!" ~Goodreads Reviewer

"This book is sweet and sassy and down right hilarious."~Romance Readers Guide to Passion

"Loved this book, it is not often that a book gets me to laugh out loud, but the interaction between poor Ethan and take-no-prisoners Jane was a hoot. I can't wait for more. This is not your usual vampire story." ~Paranormal Romance Guild

USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Pulkinen (pronounced PULL-kin-in) 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.

I dl'd this fun little book on stuff your kindle day. Absolutely no regrets! It's not the best book ever written, but damn if I didn't read it it in an entire day. Jane is a tad annoying, but you love her none the less. I LOL'd a few times, and I'll for sure read the next book to follow what happens to our bestie Sophie! Perfect for a palate cleanser. Ethan is a dream, the book is so fun, not quite a 5, like a 4.5....but I'll give it a 5 cuz it was exactly what I needed! Highly recommend for a quick, sassy, endearing, slightly annoying, super fun read.

3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not much to say about this one I’m afraid. It’s very shot but took me almost 3 days to finish and normally this would’ve been a couple hours max. I just didn’t really gel with it. The narration was my first issue. I like to be the character. I want to feel what they feel, see what they see and experience it not just have it told to me. It was also kind of cheesy. I will say it might be a good palate cleanser for someone who just got done reading a heavier book and wants a cute little break. All in all it was fun. I’m actually kinda mad because I wasn’t planning to read the rest due to it not being first person narration but I liked Sophie so I may go ahead and read the second. Lol.

Jane a travel blogger and her friend Sophie are in New Orleans to enjoy Mardi Gras. On their first night of partying they meet Ethan described by his sire Gaston as a vampire with a stake up his a… to say Ethan is moody and unhappy with his undead life is being kind, but he has his reasons…

Sophie, believes she may be a witch since her grandfather was one. She is on a bit of a quest to find witches, vampires, and werewolves, oh my.

Jane, passes out at the sight of blood. Not the best candidate to become a vampire. But due to no fault of his own Ethan turns Jane thinking she is the reincarnation of his dead finance.

There is a council of vampire passing all manner of laws and rules. One of those being a license to bite…

The humor of becoming a vampire, navigating the rules of the world and finding love make for an interesting read.

There are seven books in the series…I liked this one and will probably read the series.

Ethan is a miserable vampire, still pining for Vanessa, his girlfriend who died 25 years ago. He's an accountant, turned by Gaston to save his life, he's not sure he wants to go on.

Jane is a spoilt princess, the only daughter of the Governor of Texas she's used to getting her own way. She's the spitting image of Vanessa and when Ethan witnesses her getting run down by a truck he can't help but turn her to save her life.

But the SWO, Supernatural World Order, are in town and the weaselly Constable Watson has his eyes on staking as many vampires as he can to unseat the Chairman and take his place. Insubordinate women like Jane should learn to be seen and not heard, and then there's the little issue of her inability to look at blood without passing out. She needs to do it or be staked, and it's going to come down to the wire.

It’s enjoyable...although Jane speaks of herself in the third person which can be a little annoying..and she’s a ditzy chick until the rest of the story gets going...Ethan is defiantly interesting..as is his sire..Gaston!
It’s a nice light little story that’s easily read and kinda forgotten..
A before bed snack!
