Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen
5-Stars
Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen was a romantic and fun read. Sydney and Blake once dated in the past and meet again when the Crescent City Ghost Tours decides to take on a partner. They want to add a haunted museum with artifacts from murders. An ominous vision distracts Syd from the conversation with her boss regarding adding Blake and she is shocked upon seeing him. Things happen and the two must work together to figure out how her vision is tied into someone’s death. Can they figure it out before death stakes it’s claim?
The characters in this novel were amazing. Sydney was a strong heroine with a spunky attitude. She stood her ground in tough situations and went for what she desired. Blake was also an excellent main male character. He was hunky, down to earth, and fun. These two also had amazing gifts. I loved seeing them come together and work with the team.
The storyline also had great flow and was easy to follow. I was hooked immediately from the beginning. This book is the second in this series but could easily be read as a standalone. Significant events that played a part for this book were mentioned in the storyline to keep readers from becoming confused. Having read the first novel and this one as well I do recommend reading them both. This book was amazing and such a fun read. I highly recommend it.
LOVE & OMENS is the second book in the “Crescent City Ghost Tours Series” and I think it would be beneficial to read book 1 (LOVE AND GHOSTS) first. There are characters that play a role in book 2 that we met in book 1.
Set in New Orleans, LOVE & OMENS tells the story of a woman who can see the future and a man who can see the past. They have a pull to each other that cannot be explained and yet cannot be avoided. There are a couple of different stories swirling around all at the same time.
The writing is detailed, the story flows well from beginning to end and at times I was grateful I wasn’t alone in my house. I’ve been on a ghost tours before as I live near Salem MA and I would absolutely go to Crescent City and take a tour.
Sydney Park has the ability to see the future and considers it a curse. Back in college she broke up with Blake Beaumont because she saw a vision in which he didn’t show up for an important event with the krewe she’d joined for the Mardi Gras parade. Now the new partner her boss and friend has brought into their ghost tour business is none other than Blake who has the ability to read the past in objects. They’re opening a museum with artifacts that have haunting attachments. Sydney is now seeing the funeral of someone she loves and together she and Blake must figure out what it means.
The second in Carrie’s Crescent City Ghost Tours series, this book is a wonderful read. I was hooked from the beginning and kept enchanted to the end. It was great getting to know the original characters better and learning about the new ones. And it was great to see how the relationship between Sydney and Blake blossoms. Carrie has a fabulous way of writing that brings you into the story and allows you to empathize with and relate to the characters. I highly recommend this book and the series which I suggest you read in order. I’m eager for the next book to come out.
Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2)
By: Carrie Pulkinen
5 out of 5 stars
The story Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkiene is the next amazing story is a wonderful series. First off, I love books that are based in New Orleans. The city has a mystery and charm about it that I have not found in other locations. I also loved the storyline and the characters. Sydney Park and Blake Beaumont are wonderful to read about. The story has Blake joining forces with a tour company and Sydney. Not only does he want to join as a partner, but he also sees a chance to restart the relationship that he has with her. The story is full of mystery and has an atmosphere that takes you in the world of the unknown. What will happen when situations happen that could cause danger to both Sydney, Blake, and those around them? Will Blake and Sydney rekindle their relationship? What does the future hold for Blake, Sydney and the tour company? Read this book to find out. The story has emotional moments and my emotions went up and down with the characters. I grew to care about Sydney and Blake and wanted them to be happy. There are additional characters that interact with Sydney and Blake which I enjoyed reading about. This is a book that came to an end far too soon. I look forward to the next one in the series. I highly recommend this book and series.
Sydney and Blake were great characters! Sydney had a gift that she saw as more as a curse. Lots of action and mystery as these two come together and have a second chance! A touch of the paranormal and some romance with great chemistry between these two. Loved it!!
Book two in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series a well written story that kept me turning pages, what a story. This is Sydney Park and Blake Beaumont’s second chance story. I want to read the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
We first meet Sydney Park in Love & Ghosts, book 1 of the Crescent City Ghost Tours series, and I have to say she was one of my favorite characters from that book. So, naturally, when I saw she was the focus of book 2 I was thrilled, and I have to say I was not disappointed! Love & Ghosts starts with the characters meeting for the first time, but Syd and Blake have a past together that nearly destroyed them both the first time around. Being thrust back together threatens to pick up the pain where it left off, but the embers of the feelings flare back to life whether they want them to or not.
The problem is, Syd starts having a series of very problematic visions, and if she can’t figure them out, the consequences will be dire.
I think I like Syd even more after getting to see inside her head like I couldn’t in the first book, and Blake is an amazing guy too, scars from the past and all.
Carrie has a way of building a slow burn and rise to big events that I can’t get enough of in a story. The descriptions are even better than in book one, painting vivid images in my head of the people and places, drawing me into the book even more. I couldn’t put it down, as I’ve become accustomed to with this author’s books, and I can’t wait to see what happens next in the series!
Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen. It just keeps getting better! I will say these books can be read as a stand-alone without any confusion but I do highly recommend the first story also and the characters are entwined also. So first and foremost let me just start by saying I was so completely drawn into Blake and Sydney’s story. I got so wrapped up I lost track of time and before I knew I’d been up ready late into the night because I couldn’t put it down. I love a story I can sink into and this author does just that with the story world she created. The characters are complex and relatable, each bringing something unique to the story. I love the mix of suspense, romance and paranormal and this author found just the right amount of each. It kept me on my toes and I loved every minute of it. I love the attention to even the smallest details making the story jump off the pages and come alive before your eyes. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Five stars all the way and I highly recommend not only this series but this author!
This is the second book in this great fun series and we get to meet Sean and Emily and their employee Sydney. Sean has decided to enlarge his Crescent City Ghost Tours and do that he needs s new partner The only problem is that the new partner is non other than Blake a man that Sydney broke off from by text after seeing his future. With a backdrop of New Orleans at Mardi Gras this story rollicks along at a cracking pace Can these two get their chance at love the second time around
This is the second book in this series, it just keeps getting better. I was pulled into the story from the start and couldn’t put it down until the last page. Sydney and Blake are great characters and the emotional rollercoaster ride as well as the suspense, mystery they took me on you won’t want to miss. They have a past but will there be a second chance in their future? Survival is a race against time, will time run out?. I highly recommend reading the rest of their story.
Love & Omens is the second book in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series. It can be read as a standalone, but I think the best enjoyment would come after reading the first book. You’ll get a better feel for the characters from the first book that are mentioned in this one. Plus, the first book was awesome!
Dealing with a psychic gift can be tricky. Syd makes a judgment call but it turns out to be a big mistake. When she gets a second chance at making it right, will she take it? I love second chance stories because it brings up a feeling of hope.
As always, I love this author’s ability to paint vivid pictures and develop intriguing characters. I also loved the use of psychometry in this story. It isn’t a gift a lot of authors write about when choosing the powers their character has.
I hope there are more books planned for this series!
This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Love & Omens by Carrie Pulkinen is the second book in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series. I really love this series. We met Sydney Park in the first book and I must admit to being intrigued by her character, so I was really glad that her story was next. From the moment I started reading, I was hooked and could not put it down. The characters are well developed and with New Orleans at Mardi Gras season as a backdrop you get some interesting twists in the storyline. Carrie Pulkinen has a gift for writing a creepy, gotta turn on the lights kind of ghost story that has you questioning every creak and pop you hear in your house, but not in a horror filled kind of way! I The chemistry between Sydney and Blake singes the pages (So Mature Readers Only Please). You get a little of everything – action, mystery, love, angst, ghosts and an emotional rollercoaster ride. There is no cliffhanger ending. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
This honest and voluntary review was made possible by reading an advance copy.
She sees the future. He reads the past. The present could kill them both. Enjoyed Sydney and Blake’s story. The characters are great. Enjoyed Sydney’s strong personality.

The intriguing New Orleans setting along with the spirits, romance, voodoo, hauntings and more at every turn just makes this book a perfect spooky hot read! I love all the characters in this book each with their own intriguing abilities! With the two main characters, Sydney gets death visions of someone close to her in a casket, but who? And Blake can touch an object and discover facts about a person and events associated with them and the object from its history. When Sydney see’s Blake’s death it’s a race against time, until time is running out…but for who?!
