Omg! “Beneath a Blue Moon” is book 2 & the 2nd must read I’ve read by this author in this awesome series, the ‘Crescent City Wolf Pack’ and can’t wait to read the next 2 😀 Another fresh plot in PNR with shifters & magic, an amazing H/h & relatable characters that jump off the pages, both good & evil, witty dialogue & fantastic attention-to-detail with surprise twists & turns that will keep readers engaged & turning pages like crazy! I was thrilled to find this on my Kindle Unlimited trial membership & I highly recommend this to adult fans of fiction & look forward to reading more of Ms. Pulkinen’s works 😀
This is a well written paranormal romance. The author brings strong characters in Rain and Chase , gives them a strong connection , but he has trust issues concerning witches and she’s keeping a secret which he is suspicious of. It’s an interesting story with drama,suspense and some magic as well as the hot romance. I enjoyed and would recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Beneath the Blood Moon is moving, and entertaining. It is an incredibly fun read, that cover many issues.
Is blood thicker than water?
Chase and Rain find out that the hard way.
This is an amazing addition to the series that happens to be a standalone.
I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased , honest review.

Beneath A Blue Moon by Carrie Pulkinen
5 Stars!!!!!
I have to say that I thouroughly enjoyed the second book in this series. I was very drawn into the
crescent city wolf pack yet again. This was another great trip down the paranormal route. The author
has a very refreshing style that draws the reader in and keeps you glued to the pages.
The whole chemistry between Chase and Rain is just electrifying. The way that the whole drama plays out
as they come together grabs the reader and keeps them interested. I really like how the author uses
the many different types of supernatural beings and is able to show the dynamics and differences. I really
look forward to reading more from his author in the future and definitely more from this series.
This is my first from this author and it won’t be my last if I can help it. Everything was rich from the world building to character build up and she made me feel as if I was part of it all.
Luke and Macey had heard good things about Rain’s bakery so had set up an appointment for cake tasting several times because of Macey’s job as detective. so Luke calls on his second Chase to go with him. Chase finds witches very untrustworthy due to his past so since he made things very difficult for Luke he makes Chase hang out with Rain by apologizing for his conduct. Rain is a cursed witch and she needs this contract to make things work for her bakery otherwise she doesn’t know what she will do.
I loved how Rain and Chase are brought together and how they kind of heal one another of trust issues and more. This is one book I wouldn’t want a fellow enthusiast to miss. I voluntarily chose to read a complimentary copy and have not been compensated for this opinion.
Beneath a Blue Moon is the second novel in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series by Carrie Pulkinen. This is my second novel by this author.
When Chase Beauchamp gets the assignment to investigate a witch, he is not thrilled about it, considering his hatred for them, but with a string a murders occurring in the French Quarters, he does the assignment. But when his wolf wants to claim her as his mate, things could get a little messy.
Following the events of the last book, Luke and Chase go wedding cake tasting for the upcoming wedding. At first sight, Chase feels drawn to the witch who owns the bakery and it unsure if she can be trusted.
Rain Connolly just wants to get rid of the hex and not be a outcast and when she meets Chase, sparks fly. She has spent the past seven year trying to unbound her powers and see Chase as to way to finally do it.
But will the two be able to be together?
With the introduction of Chase in the first book, I was excited to have a book about him and get more of his backstory. I was curious as to why he didn’t like witches and how that feeling would hinder his growing feeling for Rain as well as how that would affect their relationship.
Rain I felt wasn’t so flip flop like the heroine in the first novel and that she owned a bakery which I felt was also different. I generally don’t see a lot characters that are witches own bakeries. She was determined and was very interest character to read about.
Like the first book, I enjoyed the mystery and was hooked from the beginning. While this is a standalone and doesn’t have to read in order, there are some small events that may be mentioned as well as characters that may have their own book later on.
For fans of paranormal romance, I highly recommend this series.
A great read about possibilities. Chase Beauchamp lives a stable life as second in command of the Crescent City wolf pack until a witch is found brutally murdered. While cake tasting for his alphas wedding, he comes across another witch who is hiding secrets. Chase has always been wary towards witches, and it tries his patience. Will he able to put his mistrust aside, can he find out the truth before more supernatural creatures get hurt?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Rain wishing for a better tomorrow even if it seems impossible or Chase trying to protect his pack but still hold authority. Great supporting cast with kind and caring Snow or sweet Emma as a curious little girl. A terrific villain that will send shivers up your spine.
A great example of building upon the fantasy world in a sequel with introduction of witches with their own laws and rules coexisting with the werewolves. the sense of facing the consequences of these laws was perfectly written to create tensions for Rain. The use of magic was spellbinding each time as something sacred but beautiful. And also the curse and the potion was perfectly written with specific rules to create difficulties for the character.
I also enjoyed the witches mythological roots in nature and magic and kindness which is rare in literature. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel in nature like the park or the storm and rain song as something soothing and intoxicating. Or the bakery with its colour and sense of smell and taste in all the cakes as if you were actually there. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.
Beneath a Blue Moon (Crescent City Wolf Pack Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen
This is book two in the series and it follows Chase second in command to Luke the alpha. Chase is wary of witches and avoids anything to do with them at all costs due to an event from his past. When he meets Rain a cursed witch he tries his best to avoid her even though the Alpha has put him on cake duty which deals with her directly. He is fine with just being civil until he realizes she is his fate bound. When an energy vampire begins targeting witches his protective instincts arise. Can he protect her while also keeping his family safe from her curse. Will he be forced to pick between his mate and the pack?
I loved this novel and both the main characters Rain and Chase. Rain had a spunky personality, strong will, and was full of compassion. She looks for ways to end her curse and hates that it causes others with witch blood harm for their kindness. Chase is a great guy. He is dedicated to the pack and to his family. He also sounds mouthwatering from the description in the book. I loved following the romance between the two and the storyline was easy to follow. I could not put this novel down. That’s why I rate it 5 stars.
Beneath a Blue Moon by Carrie Pulkinen, part of the Crescent City Wolf Pack series of books, is the sequel to Werewolves Only. It’s not necessary to have read Werewolves only first as this book does an ample job of explaining the lore. This is a fun read full of twists and turns that will keep the reader guessing. The environment is rich and the setting really helps the plot. This is a really enjoyable story.
Beneath A Blue Moon is the second book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series. It can be read as a standalone (but read the first one anyway, it’s good).
I enjoyed this story a lot, maybe even more than the first book, which is stellar as well so that’s saying something. The main characters in the book are complex enough to keep you hooked. And, once again, the author has created a great villain character to add tension into the mix. I am looking forward to reading the next book! (Pretty sure my family wishes I wasn’t though because I get sucked in and lose track of all reality, lol).
In a word, SUPERB!
Beneath A Blue Moon by Carrie Pulkinen
Four Stars
This story is about faith, trust, kindness and discovery. Rain is living with a curse because of a past sin. She is isolated from all covens and you can see the toll it takes on her. Ok I’m going to need these authors to stop making these men so hot. We read these books and start to have high expectations for the real world. Chase was down right the hottest book guy I have read about this month. I love alpha males that are tatted and have a bad boy side. Chase is a walking talking wet dream. To top it all off he has an amazing personality. I loved how the author put a spin on this story it wasn’t just witches, vampires and werewolves there was so much more. The story was plotted out really well. The curse was a great bonus. Would she be able to gain Chase’s trust? The mystery behind the killing. It was a smooth read that kept my interest from front to back. I loved the unpredictable story line. It wasn’t a boom I know how this will it. It was a dang did that really happen story. I am really excited to see what this author has coming next.
I totally loved Macey and Luke’s story in Werewolves Only, the first of Carrie Pulkinen’s Crescent City Wolf Pack tales. Now we are back in this world in the series’ second book, Beneath a Blue Moon. Luke, the Alpha of the Crescent City Pack, is getting married and drags along his best buddy and second in command, Chase Beauchamp (gotta love that name, it reeks of the Bayou), to a new bakery to check out the cakes. That’s where they encounter Rain Connolly, the baker who just happens to be a witch whose powers have been bound via a hex. Rain and Chase have an attraction that ignites between them but there are a few problems such as him hating witches and her actually needing him to break the hex but, owe yeah, what she needs him to do could cost him his life. Pretty star-crossed lover theme going here. Pretty darn amazing setup for a story that’s pretty fantastic to read. Great characters, both returning from book 1 (better to have read this but not at all necessary) and new great plot. Great fun. Frankly, but for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review my husband from my hospital bed, I could go on and on with praises – the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to Bound by Blood, the next book in this series.
This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite so far. I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. It pulled me in right from the start and kept me engaged until the end. I loved the characters, they were relateable and connectable. They took me on a journey of witches and shifters that left me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what will happen next. I loved the connection Rain and Chase had from the start. I highly recommend this book.
Carrie Pulkinen’s Beneath a Blue Moon is the second book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack; this paranormal romance features one sexy werewolf and a caring, but distant witch – the makings of a climatic story!! Each book within this series can be read as a standalone, but by reading them sequentially in order, the reader will learn more about the characters as they overlap into subsequent books with each book featuring a different set of main characters. In Beneath a Blue Moon, the author adds more to the paranormal aspects of this story giving it additional depth and appeal. Chase is one brooding werewolf that is more than just a member of the pack. It’s that allure that Rain is unable to deny despite how much she tries. Other forces are at work within this story that makes things less than easy between Chase and Rain – an adventure with suspense and danger lurking plus some serious chemistry!
Beneath a Blue Moon is Book 2 In the Crescent City Wolf Pack Series. This is a paranormal romance book from author Carrie Pulkinen, and my second read from this author and she continues to captivate me even more with each read I’m reading from her. This book is written with a lot of detail that makes it completely mentally visual, as though I was along there entwined into the story itself, and I can’t wait to see what else she brings to this series. While these books are written as part of a series, you can easily read these as stand-alone but I highly recommend that you read in order just for you to enjoy this incredible world this author has created.
This book was action packed, suspenseful, fast-paced and thrilling, it has romance, passion & sexiness. This is an amazing read that hooks you in from the beginning and brings you on this amazing rollercoaster of a ride with some incredible characters. We are given twists and turns throughout that keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what could happen next.
Chase & Rain are our main characters in this read, and while we follow them on their journey we also get introduced to new and existing characters.
Chase & Rain have an incredible chemistry from the start and it only continues to grow even when they try and push the feelings away and deny their feelings. It makes it even worse by each of them having their own opinions about each other such as Chase being a werewolf and not trusting and disliking Witches, yet meeting Rain could ultimately change his whole outlook on this.
Rain will do anything in order to get her powers back that has caused her to be different from all other of her kind, but what she never expects is it to happen when she meets Chase. These two have a connection from the start that is undeniable and can tell will be a powerful one. Will Chase be able to put all behind in him in order to help Rain? If so will it help them both get their HEA? With these two real, lovable and enjoyable characters you can’t help but love this read even more!
This is an incredibly captivating and compelling read filled with paranormal, romance and just incredible brilliant storylines and characters. I can’t wait to see what else comes from this series and from this author.
Beneath a Blue Moon Carrie Pulkinen is the second book in the series and is a paranormal, romance. I enjoyed it as much as I did the first book in the series. It is full of magical werewolfs and witches and evil. Who doesn’t like a good shifter story where evil seeks revenge. A curse that can cause pain and misery and lots of action and mystery. Whilst mayhems reins, two of the most unlikely of matches find their way to each other but they have so much pain from the past that will keep them apart. One is cursed the other doesn’t like witches. Will they be able to overcome their differences and finally rid the evil that threatens them all or will curse and mistrust keep them from finding who they really are together? The one thing Rain needs is the one thing she can’t ask for. This story is a great read and I loved the characters. The story was told in several POV’s providing that much needed richness of a full story. I suggest you read the first book in the series and they are a good part of this book as well. Well done Ms Carrie!

5 Stars
This is the second book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack but can be read as a stand-alone with no problem. I am happy to say that I really did like this one. A lot. It was an even better story than book one and I felt like I connected with it more.
The main characters in this book are Chase and Rain. Chase is a were who hates witch’s and Rain is a witch who is cursed. Chase is charged with the task of handling the wedding cake for his Alphas wedding and who knew a task like that would end up with him finding his mate. They get off to such a bumpy start and I honestly wanted to SMACK them both. But I loved the chemistry between the two even when they wanted to deny it.
I would recommend this book to a friend!

Beneath a Blue Moon by Carrie Pulkinen
4 Stars
I thought I enjoyed the first book. This one is even better! I was so happy to realize that this story was going to be about Chase Beauchamp, Luke’s right hand man. His love interest is Rain Connelly. She is everything that he could have hoped for and more. Unfortunately, she’s a witch. He’s had a grudge against witches since he was young. Nothing good ever came from his encounters with them. To top things off, he knows she’s hiding something. He plans to find out what.
Rain is cursed and was tossed out of the witch community with her powers bound. For seven years she has been trying to break the curse. She finally got an unbinding spell from an old witch and has been slowly gathering the ingredients. She all but gives up hope when she finds out what is the final ingredient until fate throws a sexy werewolf in her life. Getting the last ingredient could cost Chase his life.
The book was full of action, sexual tension and plot twists. Witches, werewolves and curses. Though the bad guy was evil and hateful, he was a cool antagonist with some twisted powers. I loved the fact that the Connelly sisters were named after their powers. This is a definite must read. I can’t wait to see what the author has coming next.
Beneath a Full Moon (Crescent City Wolf Pack #2) by Carrie Pulkinen
Rated 5 stars
This is a great second book in the series. It’s full of drama, suspense and paranormal. Did I mention shifters? Yes this is a wolf shifter type story. Set in New Orleans where there are other paranormals as well. The writing is so engaging and the characters were lovely and hard to let go of.
Full Disclosure—-I am not a fan of witch stories but for some reason this one didn’t bother me. Actually I was drawn in by Rains predicament. Questions that needed answers! But stuff happened in here that is the reason I don’t care for them. They are sneaky and pull tricks. Now shifters but specifically wolf shifters hold a special place in my heart. There is just something about them that draws me into their world.
Chase has had a problems with witches in the past. So he doesn’t trust them. But Rain is different. For some reason he not only likes her but he trusts her. BUT What will happen if Rain earns his distrust???
Luke picking on Chase about being Fate-bound. Hilarious! They have great camaraderie since they have been friends since childhood. And now being pack alpha (Luke)and his second (Chase)that relationship only blossoms.
This is my second book by this author and I loved it. The characters were great and had realish issues (You know-real for their world). I loved seeing some of the characters from the last story. They made me laugh and almost cry. I highly recommend this series. I would also say read book 1 first for your full enjoyment of this one but its not necessary. I eagerly await the next in the series!
