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.

Finders Reapers (New Orleans Nocturnes #4 )
By Carrie Pulkinen
4 stars
Another really enjoyable read from this series – I really like reading these books they are so funny and entertaining. The author has a great writing style that captures tour attention from the very beginning. I loved the banter between the characters; they had me laughing out loud so many times. The storyline was great, the Grim Reaper and a Necromancer – probably not two characters you would expect but they were great together. I loved the twists in the story it definitely made it less predictable than I was anticipating.
I really hope there’s more to come from this New Orleans Nocturnes series from Ms Pulkinen – I am definitely loving these stories!

This is an enjoyable quick read. It has nIce twists and turns. The story is different from what I usually read. I liked the subject matter. Dealing with the reaper and a necromancer. Ash, who is the Reaper, has a problem. He has feelings for a girl. Reapers don’t feel feelings. So he is perplexed. I liked his characterization. Fun yet dangerous. He is embarrassed about his other worldly “look” and doesn’t think anyone will ever like it. Jasmine likes Ash but doesn’t think he likes her. Plus she has that whole “talks to the dead” thing that people shy away from.
This story involves ghosts, Demons, angels and among others...our two main characters. This is a lively read that I thoroughly enjoyed. It has a nice flow and memorable characters.

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.

Once again Carrie Pulkinen has written a winner. This series is a lot of fun and really enjoyable. Watching the love story of Asher and Jasmine unfold was really nice. They made a cute couple and I was really happy they found each other. Carrie Pulkinen is an excellent author and I really look forward to reading more from her.

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!
