The New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen just gets better and better, and she has another winner with the third entry in the series with Life’s a Witch. The heroine Crimson Oliver is a funny diverse character and you are drawn to her and her struggles. Going with her on the journey to not only find love, but fulfillment of her future as a witch was rewarding. Carrie Pulkinen puts just the right amount of humor and snark into her books making them a joy to read. This whole series is a fun romp in the paranormal universe and Life’s a Witch fits right in, it is a must read.
I give Life’s a Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.
I have been reading this whole series and was so excited to see this book involved a Crimson and Mike. Crimson just seemed like the perfect character to have as a lead and I really wanted to learn more about Mike. This book excelled in doing both of these things. Crimson is a great, hilarious main character who I just love. She also is real and cares about others too. You learn why both of them have ended up in the situations they are in as well. This is not your normal, well I’m just a witch, or I’m just a demon. What this author does so well is to make her characters stand out from all the others in this genre. There stories are so unique, which makes this book astounding. Then there is the current situation Crimson finds herself in. As usual in these books, the author keeps you on your toes as to what happens next. You will also see previous characters make an appearance as well, which I always love.
If you are a fan of Paranormal Romantic Comedy, this book is for you. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the previous books too.
We met Crimson in the 2nd book of the series. Crimson is a “bad” witch, bad as in her spells never end up right. Mike is a partially freed demon. Together, they can’t get enough of each other. When Crimson’s magic and Mike’s powers cause issues for their future, they turn to the Devil.
This book was so exciting and fun to read. Old characters pop by and further the intrigue of the story. Life’s a Witch was a fun and perfect story to this series.
Life’s a witch is the third instalment in the series from Carrie Pulkinen. You could enjoy this as a stand alone read, but there are characters from the first two books so I find it more enjoyable having already read those. It just helps me set the scene better, plus I already like the characters.
The story picks up with Crimson, who we met in book two. Crimson is a witch who gets herself into trouble. And to be honest, she’s pretty rubbish at casting spells.
Mike Cortez (who sounds dreamy from the second you meet him) is a demon who currently has a pact with the devil. He’s attracted to Crimson but accidentally sells her soul to the devil. In the words of the author Mike wants to ‘date her, not damn her’, so he needs to fix this.
This series gets better with every book. It’s a fun, action packed and flirty read. Just what we all need at the minute. It’s refreshing to read a book in this genre that is funny and bright…and sexy! The characters are far from perfect, but all full of personality, both the women and the men are strong and sexy, you can’t help but like them
I would definitely recommend it.
Life’s a Witch is the third book in Carrie Pulkinen’s paranormal series called New Orleans Nocturnes. Obviously we are strolling in NOLA among the supernatural and the way this story goes we go to the hell and back!
Life’s a Witch is the story of Crimson Oliver, a witch who fails at every single spell she has ever tried (as we learnt in book two), and Mike Cortez, hotter-than-hellfire recovering demon, devil’s advocate to make all your dreams to come true … so I guess you can already guess what is going to happen and knowing that every single one of Crimson’s spell goes wrong then why would this ‘dreams come true’ go right?
Carrie is bringing Jane and Sophie along on a ride that Crimson is taking in the Big Easy with a detour to hell and facing the High Priestess in a showdown of magic so there is no boring moment here and I truly hope that this is not the end to the series though we have had vampires, werewolves, demons, witches so who are we missing? Oh yeah, faeries so here you go, there is more of the supernatural world to come lay havoc on New Orleans!
The books in Carrie Pulkinen’s New Orleans Nocturnes series get better each book. Life’s a Witch is the third book in this series and even though it can be read alone I recommend reading it in order. Crimson is a witch, but she cannot do spells correctly they constantly backfire. SO, when she is threatened, what else do you do but challenge the person doing it. Unfortunately, this is someone who she cannot beat and ends up making a deal with Mike the demon. What will happen after she makes this deal? The way this author brings to life her stories and characters is amazing. I couldn’t help but fall in love with both Crimson and Mike and rooting for a hopefully HEA. I could not put this book down it was such an addictive read.
Seriously Carrie Pulkinen has done it again, with another brilliant addition to the New Orleans Nocturnes Series.
This time we follow Crimson’s story, just like the other two reads in this series, it’s fast-paced, captivating, funny and addictive to read. Carrie Pulkinen has a way with words and a way of connecting you to the characters. Connecting to these characters make you totally invested in their story and you can’t help but feel as though you are on their journey with them.
What I didn’t expect from this read was how brilliant the connection and chemistry was between Crimson & Mike. I love watching their connection grow and see them working together.
Another thing I loved was that we still got our main characters from the previous two books to make an appearance as secondary characters in this one, I love having follow-ups of them!
For this being a short read you are never lacking in the storyline, I absolutely loved this read and I love this series.
You do not want to miss it!

Another fun paranormal romantic comedy in Carrie Pulkinen’s ‘New Orleans Nocturnes’ series “Ride along on a journey from the Big Easy to hell and back again in this fast, steamy paranormal romantic comedy!” states the blurb, and I was not disappointed as that is exactly what I got.
Crimson Oliver is a bad witch, as in she can’t actually cast spells that work and following her latest spell that went awry the high priestess has threatened to bind Crimson’s powers and turn her human for good. Crimson challenges the high priestess to a magic battle which without a miracle she has no chance of winning. Demon Mike Cortez, who happens to be handsome and sexy is also a devil’s advocate who can make miracles happen, for a price of course. Luckily or unluckily for Crimson, Mike has had his eye on her for a while and he would like to date the seductive and sassy witch. Unfortunately Mike accidentally makes a deal which would condemn Crimson to a life of satanic servitude to Satan himself. The couple embark on an adventure to hell itself and back to outsmart the devil and save Crimson’s soul.
I enjoyed this fairly quick read which was packed full of romance, excitement, adventure, laugh out loud moments, plenty of sass from our heroine Crimson, and some steamy chemistry between her and Mike. I’ve enjoyed all three books in Pulkinen’s ‘New Orleans Nocturnes’ series and although there is some crossover of characters each one can be read as a standalone story.
This is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes Series, and can be read as a stand alone, But reading the first two is recommended!
Another great addition to this series, I just can not get enough of this story! This series has become one of my favorites and I hope to see more of it!! With each new book comes a new romance, and with each new romance comes hilarious, and steamy, interactions! If you love romance, and supernaturals, you surely will love this series as much as I do! Truly deserving of its 5 star review!
Life’s a Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen is a fun romantic comedy in the paranormal world. Witches and wolves, vampires and magic are what Carrie does best. When ever I see her name, I know I just must get it and get lost in the magic she creates and is know for. Each book in the series just gets better and better and always stays with me long after I have finished the story. I would read the first two books in this series before you read this one as the characters intertwine.
Life’s a Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. The story opens with Crimson in a lot of trouble. She’s on trial for a spell that went wrong and the punishment is having her powers bound for eternity. Crimson’s last resort is to challenge the high priestess to a battle…of magic…which is a huge issue for Crimson. None of her spells seem to go right, but it’s her only option. Maybe her adopted father, who’s an angel, can help her out with a miracle. Then there is the oh so charming demon Mike Cortez, who is trying to strike yet another deal with the Devil. The Devil is looking for a new assistant, and Mike knows just the witch for the job. Problem is, he isn’t sure he is willing to give up Crimson and damn her to a life with the Devil. The two must work together if they are to save Crimson. This story, as well as others in this series, are a true balance of paranormal, romance, and comedy. I love how the author puts such a comedic spin on a genre that is often portrayed as scary or terrifying. And who doesn’t love a good love story, even if it’s among witches and demons.
This was absolutely amazing. I love this book in the trilogy, it’s as good as the first two. Steamy, saucy, witty, funny, romantic. It has everything! Magic, demons, family time, love, and risk, the author writes this so well. The setting is vivid and alive. The interactions between the characters are intense and amazing, so full of depth and complexity. This is one of my favourite books of the entire trilogy, I highly recommend it! You will not be disappointed!
Life’s a Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy by Carrie Pulkinen is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. These are fun, quick to read stories which can be read as a standalone. I recommend reading them in order because there is some character carryover from book to book. This time we are given Crimson, who is a bad witch. Not evil bad! She is just really good at getting spells wrong. She gets herself into some odd situations in book 2 and now they are coming back to haunt her. With the help of the demon Mike and her other supernatural friends can she get herself into this problem?
The characters are fun and light. I enjoy the introduction of different supernaturals and that sometimes life is stranger than fiction. New Orleans is a perfect setting for these supernatural stories to take place. I have enjoyed these books as a get away from the realities of the real world. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Life’s a Witch by Carrie Pulkinen a five-star read that will set your pages on fire. This is number three in the New Orleans Nocturnal series and the have just gone from strength to strength. I loved meeting Crimson Oliver in number two, she made me smile in that one and I was excited to hear that we get to see more in this instalment. This is my favourite of the series as I adore Crimson, she isn’t bad like some people think, just a little clumsy and not the best witch in the world, I think she would be me if I were a witch. This is such an easy read and will make you laugh so hard, Crimson and Mike will just make you warm in the best way, don’t miss this great story.
Pulkinen does it again! This book is just the perfect combination of wit and romance and the paranormal. What do you get when you put a witch and demon together? Perfection. Absolute utter comedic perfection. Loved every page. Cannot wait to read more!
This is one entertaining series! I really enjoy meeting these new characters and the crazy stuff this author comes up with is gold! We met Crimson in the last book. She is a witch with bad powers. Mike is a demon…actually the devil’s advocate. So he looks good but can’t be trusted. They have an undeniable attraction but one handshake and misspoken words is going to change it all.
I wasn’t sure about entering the demon world but this author made it so interesting. I couldn’t resist smiling and reading more. Hellions Anonymous. Ingenious! For recovering demons. What a great idea!
It was a joy reading this story. I loved it! I read it fairly quickly. Hoping there is more!
Life’s a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen
4 Stars
This is the third book in the Nocturnes series and although it can be read as a stand-alone, I suggest that you read the others as well. This series is amazing and you’ll enjoy them all.
This book is about the worst witch ever, Crimson Oliver. She’s not a bad witch, she’s just bad at being a witch. Most of her spells backfire and things mostly go wrong. She’s in trouble with the coven again wishes with all her might that her powers would stop failing her. She accidentally makes a deal with the devil and now needs to find a way to save her soul.
Mike is a devil’s advocate. He fell for Crimson the first time that he saw her. Unfortunately his devil side emerged and he made a deal with her. Now he needs to find a solution because he refuses to give Crimson to the devil.
This book is fast paced and easy to read. Once again Ms. Pulkinen has created characters that you’ll love. Though making a deal with the devil is serious business, the author manages to lighten the situation with humour and lots of love. This series keeps getting better and better and I’m hoping there will be other books that follow.
This Book 3 in the Orleans Nocturnes Series is a short, humorous story with great Characters. These characters are well crafted with chemistry and humor. This is the first in this series I have read, but I am going to get the other stories to read to catch up on the support characters from this book. Loved the story
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Life’s A Witch : A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen
4 Stars!!!!
I just loved another adventure into the supernatural New Orleans world. I found that the books just flow one to the next and you are drawn right into the created world. I just couldn’t put this book down. I just love supernatural romance.
From the last book I was just on tenter hooks to see who Crimson would fair. This book does such a great job bringing the story on. I just love how all the supes seem to start to get together and help one another through the trials and tribulations. I just love how she is able to free Mike and how they come together. I love the fact that Crimson is able to overcome the charges and how she becomes who she was meant to be. I will definitely be reading more from this author and hopefully this series.
Life’s a Witch is the 3rd book in the New Orleans Nocturnes saga by Carrie Pulkinen. I have to say, I am a huge fan of this series, they are witty, romantic and have excellent stories. In this book Crimson, the unfortunate witch from book 2, is called upon by the High Priestess of her coven to face her punishment for her wonky spell from book 2 in which she almost unwittingly started a war with the local werewolf’s. In her attempt to save herself Crimson ends up setting herself a challenge she in unsure she can win. Mike, a recovering demon, has his eye on crimson and wants to get to know her better but is he is unable to keep his demon side in check which results in a race to save them both. I really recommend this series if you like a light-hearted, paranormal romantic comedy. A really enjoyable read.
