Shift Happens is the second book in Carrie Pulkinen’s New Orleans Nocturnes series and this time we are hanging out with witches and werewolves! You can read it as a standalone but why would you not start with book one if you love New Orleans and paranormal romantic comedy AND the heroine is Shift Happens heroine’s friend!
Shift Happens picks up where License to Bite left off. Jane’s friend Sophie is in trouble and she is not very competent as a witch. She gets accidentally bitten by Trace Thibodeaux, a smoking hot werewolf who is investigating Sophie as his pack has been cursed and guess who is the suspect … right, Sophie …
I promise you that you will laugh a lot – Sophie has a mouth on her and she lets it fly! Trace is an alpha and hot as sin and their chemistry is through the roof! I would not mind being investigated by Trace either if this is how he does it!
Shift Happens is a quick read that leaves you reaching for the next one in the series!
Shift Happens: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy by Carrie Pulkinen is the second book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. These are fun, paranormal romantic stories that will keep you laughing. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them in order because characters carry over from story to story. Sophie is a struggling witch who cannot seem to come into her powers, her best friend has become a vampire, and all she wants is some time to get to know a handsome werewolf intimately. What could go wrong?
Of course, nothing is easy for Sophie but she finds her forever family and all works out in the end. Sophie is a funny character full of sass. She knows what she wants and she goes for it. Trace is the sexy werewolf and he finds Sophie is more than a quick escapade for him. This book is a quick read but great while stuck at home. It had me laughing a lot and was light and delightful. I look forward to reading more in this series.
Wow! This 2nd book in the New Orleans Nocturnes world, “Shift Happens” is another fun, light-hearted PNR shifter romance with some action, that can stand-alone, but IMHO, don’t miss out on book #1 😀 … Witches, Vampires & shifters, what’s not to love in this must read PNR fiction! … I was hooked from the get-go & did not want to stop reading! I don’t know how many times I laughed out loud, so that my family thought I was nuts 😉 lol … A fresh storyline, awesome characters & witty dialogue with surprises thrown in makes this a page-turner you don’t want to miss 😀 Even tho I volunteered to read this book, it was without any outside influences & I can honestly recommend this & any book by my Ms. Pulkinen to fans of fiction and I look forward to more books to come!

Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen
Book 2 in the New Orleans Nocturnes series was another 5 star read with very well described characters and a fun romance storyline. I enjoyed the banter between the characters and the enjoyable take on supernatural characters and a world of vampires, werewolves, and witches. I have enjoyed both books in this series so far, and I’m looking forward to reading Book #3 in the series. It’s great for those that love fun mixed with passion. I definitely recommend this series.
Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen is another paranormal romance that is fun. I just love these books by Carrie, they make me laugh out loud and she writes characters that are quirky, sassy and kickarse with crazy friends. I always know I am in for a good time when I see Carrie’s name. Grab a copy you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.
I enjoyed this immensely! It’s a fun lighthearted quick read. While this book is the second in the series it is just as good as the first book. The author carried all the fun from book 1 through to this book. It is an exciting paranormal story filled with shifters, vampires and witches. There are ups and downs and I laughed multiple times. The characters are sassy, sexy and vibrant. I love Trace and Sophie together. They had fun with each other and I laughed at their comments.
In one spot she says “Great I have landed myself a clingy one. He replies with “Just call me Saran Wrap”.
I loved that comment. Perfect humor.
I look forward to more from this author and more in this series!
Shift Happens: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy ( New Orleans Nocturnus Book 2)
By Carrie Pulkinen
4 Stars
Sophie’s grandmother was a witch and she desperately wants to be one as well. All her friends say that she smells like one but she can’t cast a spell if her life depended on it. After getting bit by a werewolf, there is a high probability that she’ll turn into one herself. She wanted to have sex with one, not become one.
Trace is second in command of his pack and is sure Sophie is behind the disappearance of one of his pack mates. He’s already gotten involved with the enemy before with horrible results but can he resist the charms of this beautiful witch?
This series just keeps getting better with every book. Shift Happens is a lighthearted romantic comedy filled with lovable characters. Sophie is feisty and awkward and Trace is hot as sin. Between the humour and the romance, this book with pull you in from the start and you’ll never want it to end.
5 Stars
Shift Happens is the second book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. It could be read as a standalone, but having said that, you would be missing out on a really fun read if you don’t read the first book too- plus there are recurring characters who are introduced in the first book- so there is a lot to gain by reading book one first.
This is a fantastic Paranormal Romantic Comedy- with werewolves, witches, magic, spells, vampires, mystery, chemistry, humour, romance, danger, drama, and plenty of fun. Again, the story is set against the mystical backdrop of New Orleans.
We met Sophie Burrows in book one, as she is Jane’s best friend. Sophie has watched her friend find her place in the supernatural world and would love nothing better than be able to embrace her own mystical heritage, but try as she might, she just doesn’t seem to be able to access that which should have been her birthright. You see her grandmother was a powerful witch, and Sophie has long dreamed of following in her grandmother’s footsteps. All her supernatural friends say she looks and smells like a witch- so why can’t she cast spells. She feels like such a failure. Then added to her dilemma is the little problem of having been bitten by a werewolf- and the chance she could turn into one at the next full moon. What is a witch to do?
Trace Thibodeaux is a Red Wolf Shifter who happens to be the one who accidentally bit Sophie. He’s been looking for his missing packmate who was with an unknown witch at the time of his disappearance. Things get even more complicated when his pack is cursed, as well. So not only does he need to find his missing friend, but find the witch who cursed his pack and deal with the situation. His investigations have led him to Sophie and he is convinced that she’s the witch he’s after. If only he wasn’t so attracted to her. Their chemistry is throwing him off his game. He needs to prove to his alpha that he can get the job done- so spending time with the enemy probably isn’t the smartest thing he could do. What happens next makes for a really fun and very engrossing read!
Loving this series!!!!! Diving into Book #3 now!!!!
Thank you, Ms. Pulkinen!
Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturne’s book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen is a 4.5 star read.
Sophie has settled in New Orleans near her best friend and vampire Jane, she started her dog walking business and she gets bitten by a werewolf, Sophie hopes that come the full moon she doesn’t turn furry as she’s hoping to uncover her witches magic of only she can get someone from the coven to help her.

I really enjoyed this story, I felt able to connect with these characters more than I did with the first book.
If you like a quick, hilarious, smoldering paranormal read, you have to read this latest book from Pulkinen. She is my go to author for fast and fun books that have wit, humor, and heat. I love the paranormal twist she throws into the storyline and always enjoy reading her latest pages set in the beautiful Big Easy. Loved it from beginning to end!
Shift Happens by Carrie Pulkinen a five-star read that will have you howling. This is number two in the New Orleans Nocturnes series, and they could be read as stand-alone, but I have loved them as a series as they just create a great backdrop. Sophie made me howl so much, she has major potty mouth, but it suited her character so well, in a weird way it made her more lovable to me. Trace is sublime, there is something sweet about him that will make your toes curl. The story is great, there are twists and mixups that will just make you chuckle, the chemistry is so explosive it should come with goggles. Do not miss this great read as it really will make your day.
In the second book of the series, Jane’s BFF is a dog walker, has an affinity for animals, and is looking for a werewolf that bit her~ She knows she is a witch but cannot figure out why her powers will not come out. She meets Crimson, a witch from New Orleans that informs her why her magic is not coming and can help release it. She also discovers her werewolf but he is hounding her for nefarious reasons. He is on a mission to find his missing pack mate, discover what she is up to and how to break the curse she put on his pack. But, does he have the wrong witch? In another tale of the series…you will laugh and chuckle as the story unfolds…and another HEA comes along.
Sophie discovers her grandmother is a witch and reads a prophecy about her future. She moves with her best friend, Jane, to New Orleans. She gets bit by a werewolf and is accused of magical crimes against the local pack.
This story is funny, romantic, and hard to put down. I fell in love with the characters and their personalities. I highly recommend this book.

By Carrie Pulkinen
5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Shift Happens: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen. It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a story that is funny and romantic. I love the characters of Sophie Burroughs and Trace Thibodeaux. Sophie is independent, sassy, and wants to be a witch. She finds herself accused of crimes against a werewolf pack as well as bitten by Trace. Trace is trying hard not to let his attraction to Sophie interfere with his investigation of the crimes that his pack believes Sophie has committed. The problem is that he can’t seem to focus when she is around. What does the future hold for Trace and Sophie? Will Sophie be able to prove that she is not guilty of crimes against his pack? Will Trace be able to keep himself from completely falling for Sophie? Read this book to find out what happens. This is a story that had me laughing out loud at the banter that goes back and forth between the characters. There is both humorous and flirty banter. There are romantic scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. I love that some of the characters from the first book are brought forward into this one. Don’t miss out on the amazing second story in this series. I highly recommend it.
Hilarious Reading Material
It was a real pleasure to read Ms. Pulkinen novel. I found this reading material to be absolutely hilarious. The characterizations were wonder, especially the main female character – what a hoot. Her inner dialogue was so quirky and full of analogies that were totally unique. The story line was good and held this reader attention. All in all, this was just a totally fun novel to read. A nice bit of light and bright in our current world pandemic state.
Highly recommended.
I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel via Booksprout and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.
This is the second book in this series, I enjoyed it as much as the first. I highly suggest reading the first one as well to enhance your enjoyment of the characters. This is a paranormal romance story that brings humor and sassy characters. Sophie is determined to be a witch but her problem is she can’t seem to cast spells. Her other problem is that she was bitten by a steamy werewolf. Will she be able to figure out her magic to stop her from becoming a werewolf? I enjoyed these characters. They brought the story to life for me and kept me turning pages until the end. A great story that made me laugh through most of the story. I highly recommend this book and this author.
More than anything, Sophie wanted access to her magic. Living in New Orleans, her bestie is now a vampire, another close friend is a necromancer, a new friend FINALLY is a witch.
Unable to access her magic, Sophie thinks the rumors of witchcraft in her family died with her grandmother.
She has surprises in store, and danger and love possibilities with Trace – a werewolf.
To succeed, survive, and help others find their best gifts, Sophie finds herself confronted with losing everything.
Intense and funny cozy/paranormal/humorous romance!
