Publisher's summary

She wants to bang a werewolf, not become one.

Sophie Burroughs is determined to be a witch. Her grandmother was a witch. All the other supes say she smells like a witch, but she can’t cast a spell to save her life.

Sprouting fur is so not on her to-do list.

But when a smokin' hot werewolf bites her and then accuses her of crimes against his pack, she has until the next full moon to prove him wrong and stop his magic from transforming her into a wolf.

A romp in the sack would be a nice bonus, too.

Trace Thibodeaux didn’t mean to bite Sophie. The red wolves have been cursed, she's the prime suspect, and if he wants to keep his rank in the pack, he has to end her magic by any means necessary.

But that doesn’t include sheathing his sword in a witch’s scabbard.

He’s gotten into bed with the enemy before, and that’s a mistake he’ll never make again.

Or will he?

If you like funny heroines and smoldering shifters, you'll love this steamy paranormal romantic comedy.

Werewolves, Witches & Steamy Romance

This is a new genre for me, I love all things witches but never read many books about them.
This book was so fun, funny and engaging. I love listening to audiobooks it makes me feel so much closer to the characters. The narrator dos a great job of demonstrating the emotions of the character. My favourite was the sassiness of some of the characters, I could picture them acting in my head.
It has me intrigued to read the first book in the series. I very much enjoyed this audiobook, if you love werewolves and witches but mostly steamy romances THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!

Fun, unexpected, wonderful read!!!

Shift Happens, an Audiobook by is the delightfully wicked little story Trace and Sophie. She’s a witch-in-the-making and he’s a wolf shifter who needs to prove himself to his leader. He is tasked with finding the witch who has caused havoc in his pack and is suspect in the disappearance of his friend….and the suspicion is that it is Sophie. But, she doesn’t have any powers…and doesn’t believe she’s a witch.

There are lots of unexpected twists and turns and SURPRISES in the story…that make it a delight!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this story!!!

This story was wonderfully narrated by Hollie Jackson. Her infectious voice just makes this story come to life! Loved her New Orleans accent…especially for Sophie! Her tone and inflections are perfect for this story!!! Absolutely fabulous performance of the story!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this Audiobook.

A fun paranormal romance

Sophie was born to be a witch, but she doesn’t have any magical abilities… or does she? Now there’s a werewolf in the picture and Sophie has a decision to make.

Carrie Pulkinen has written an entertaining story that has its steamy moments as well as lots of humor and witty innuendos. I loved it!

Hollie Jackson really brought this story to life. I enjoyed how she presented the characters.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Hilarious Paranormal Romantic Comedy Series!

This is the second book in the New Orleans Nocturnes Series. The storyline is hilarious, interesting, and intriguing. This is a great Paranormal Romantic Comedy Series. Holly Jackson did a fantastic job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to Life's a Witch, the next book in the Series.

Soooo funny!

I loved this book. I was laughing the entire time it was being read to me. Audiobooks are great because you can multitask while they are being read to you. “Shift Happens” was so good, I would rewind it just to be sure I didn’t miss anything! It kept me smiling and upbeat the entire time. Also, the narrator of this book makes the characters come to life with her accents and change in tone when reading quotes. I listened to the first book in the “New Orleans Nocturnes” series, and when I saw the second one available, I was so excited to listen to it! This author writes in such a modern tone that it makes me feel like I’m living it. I look forward to reading and listening to more books by Carrie Pulkinen.

Hilarious & Intriguing

New to the supernatural world, Sophie is struggling to uncover the secrets of her late grandmother’s witchy abilities. Unfortunately for her, she was also bitten by a werewolf and is running out of time until the next full moon. At the same time, the werewolf who bit her, Trace, has been tasked with finding the source of a curse placed on his pack – never mind the attraction he feels towards his main suspect: Sophie. Though the story was short, I loved every second of this hilarious, yet steamy, paranormal romantic comedy. I can’t wait to see what’s in store in this world of the New Orleans Nocturnes Series!

Oh, what fun this was.

There is a lot going on, but the main thing is witches and werewolves. I love the authors spin on the supernatural world. Its amazing to have harmony and fun in the world of supernatural.

Witch + Werwolf = Romance

I loved this audiobook! I love how you meet Sophie in book 1 and incorporate book 2 to her story and her meeting with the handsome Trace, a werewolf. What can go wrong... or right :). This story is a lot of fun to listen to and some hot romance. ❤️

Hilariously Witty

Shift Happens..... just the title gives you an indication of how witty and hilarious Carrie Pulkinen's writing is. She's a master with comedy and character development. This second book in the series is just as good as the first.
Hollie Jackson did an amazing job with the narration and really brought an extra layer to the characters and story

I'm excited for the next one especially the witty title

Shift Happens

Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes Book Two) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen was a great listen. I loved Sophie in the first book and she just shines in this one. You do not need to read/listen to the first one to fit right into this one. Trace and Sophie were on fire and I loved their interactions. I loved the twists in the story and the dialogue felt genuine.
