The fourth in this paranormal comedy series. Yet again it has me laughing out loud. Jasmine Lee is very powerful necromancer and was hurt by another. I lover Jasmine strong character on this series. I adore the dynamics between Asher and Jasmine. Finding themselves in a situation where they have to work together. It has its laugh out loud moments. Don't forget to read this awesome series.

Finders Reapers (New Orleans Nocturnes book 5) by Carrie Pulkinen
Review by Kaitlyn Stewart
5 out of 5 stars
Jasmine and Asher have an interesting relationship. First it was friendship, then it almost turned into romantic relationship. Then it was a love-hate type of relationship. Then everything goes wrong when the door to hell is locked. All of a sudden Asher need Jasmines help to get all the ghosts to the doorway of hell. What will happen to Asher and Jasmine? What will happen to all of the ghosts?

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.

Paranormal romance story, full of passion, humour and just right amount of angst!
This is book 5 in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. Asher, the reaper, finds himself in a potentially dire situation and needs jasmine, the Necromancer’s, help.
This book was humorous, with witty banter between the characters and full of ghosts, magic and the likes.
Really enjoyed this one. Yet again, Carrie Pulkinen did not fail to deliver!
I was given a free audio copy in exchange for an honest review of this book.

Finders Reapers is book 5 in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. I love all these books, they are hilarious! This book can be read independently of the series, but the characters do cross over. Each book focuses on its own couple, this book being a Grim Reaper and a necromancer. Asher and Jasmine are the perfect couple, one can raise the dead, and the other escorts the dead to hell. They had a thing for a hot minute in the past, but it ended badly. Now they avoid each other at all costs, but are thrown together when the stuff hits the fan. Asher tries to take a vacation and it all breaks loose, leaving a mess in his return. They must team up to fix the problem and escort thousands to the devil. Highly recommend this book and all in the series. They are quick reads and are super funny.

Finders Reapers is the 4th book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen and as with the previous 3 books in the series, I thoroughly enjoyed it. As someone who loves New Orleans, I really appreciate how descriptive the locations are and I can actually picture myself being there as the action takes place. In this book Jasmine, a necromancer who works at the coroner’s office, must assist Archer, a disgruntled reaper, when the gates to hell are malfunctioning and the malevolent spirits that should be in hell start to take over the city. This book is funny, romantic and a bit steamy at times. It has a wonderful cast of characters that you are introduced to in earlier books. If you like a paranormal comedy romance, then this book is definitely for you.

Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy by Carrie Pulkinen is the fourth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. Set in New Orleans, we find a reaper Asher having a personal crisis. Will he be able to let necromancer Jasmine in? This series is a fun, paranormal group of stories which interconnect, but each book tells a separate story. They can be read out of order and totally enjoyed, but what is the fun in that? This is again a fun, lighthearted romp with a happily ever after, which had me laughing and enjoying myself. The setting of New Orleans is fantastic for a paranormal story. I have enjoyed this entire series and look forward to reading more from Carrie Pulkinen in the future.

Finders Reapers is book 5 in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. This witty paranormal romance series is a great read. In book 5 we get to learn more about Asher and Jasmine. Asher is a reaper and jasmine is a Necromancer. Asher finds himself in a sticky situation and Jasmines is his only hope to fix his situation. This read has some humor and the romance between Asher and Jasmine is heartfelt. i loved reading Finders Reapers and thought it was a wonder way to learn more about the characters, Another wonderful read by Carrie Pulkinen. Thank you so much for your humors in the books. I look forward to reading more books by you in the Future.

Finders Reapers ( New Orleans Nocturns #4) by Carrie Pulkinen
4 stars!!!!
Oh man I was once again drawn into the supernatural New Orleans life and loving it. These are such light hearten and just an absolute joy to read. They really are a great short read and have a good balance of romance and a bit of drama. Nothing is ever straightforward and I love that.
I really like how Jasmine and Asher have that typical complicated start. I love that they are destined but he really tries to fight that. I like how the author is able to entwine the story line around these two and it isn't predictable. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series. I am totally hooked.

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.
