Courting the Cat Whisperer by Wynter Daniels

Courting The Cat Whisperer: A Nocturne Falls Universe story

3 Stars

Telepathic Pet Sitter Jordan Vaughn is trying to make up for mistakes in her past and show her sister she has changed.  She meets the man of her dreams and hopes her bad luck is over.  Harry Hill had his memory erased by a head injury and now his past is coming between them and might tear them apart.

I really like Jordan.  She always has so many things thrown at her and she rolls with it.  She learns from it and tries to do her very best to keep everyone safe and happy.  Harry was also a likable character.  He was a standup guy so even though he was very attracted to Jordan he didn’t want to start up with her not knowing if he was married or in a committed relationship.  It moved a little fast from meeting to in love but I enjoyed the characters and the humor in the story.

Genie’s Double Trouble by Wynter Daniels

The Genie's Double Trouble: A Nocturne Falls Universe story

2 Stars

Psychic Mallory Vaughn lives in Nocturne Falls working as a manicurist.  She likes her life to be neat and orderly.  Her twin sister lands in Nocturne Falls looking for some help.  Genie Cyrus Barker is following his owners orders to track down Jordan instead he finds Mallory.  They need to find a way to save Jordan and Cyrus.

This book is set in Nocturne Falls Universe.  I really enjoy that series so I hoped I would like this one.  I hated Mallory.  She was a whiner and hated her sister so much and there didn’t seem to be a reason for it.  It just made it hard to enjoy the book because she couldn’t seem to get over her sister was different then she was.  She ends up with the guy and they live happily ever after.  I still ended up reading the next book in the series and I enjoyed that way more because Jordan was a much more likable character

Shaman Charms the Shifter by Larissa Emerald Nocturne Falls Universe – 2 star


Leopard shifter Sasha Weisberg has been cursed by her friend to be stuck as a bird for all but 3 hours every day.  She’s moves to Nocturne Falls with the hope that someone there can undo her curse.  Shaman Kianso Kane is enticed to a weekend retreat in Nocturne Falls.  His Shaman ways leads him to Sasha and knows right away she’s his chosen.  They need to find a way to break the curse so they can be together.

The plot was interesting.  I would have loved to see this fleshed out into a full length story verses a short story where everything has to fall in to place very quickly.  The book was too fast paced.  I never really felt any connection with either Sasha or Kianso.  There also were too many things I have questions on.  Like why did Kianso stop being a Shaman? 

Overall I probably won’t pick up any more books by this author.

Vampire Bounty Hunter Unexpected Catch by Larissa Emerald Nocturne Falls Universe – 2.5 stars


Vampire bounty hunter Nathaniel Newburg is tracking a wanted vampire to Nocturne Falls.  He thinks he’s got his man but instead he finds feline-shifter Camille Nahuel.  Nathaniel enlists Camille’s help to catch his vampire.

The book was very fast paced which worked alright with this story.  This book needed a little bit more information to make it work.  One of my issues was about Camille not liking vampires.  It was not really explained why she didn’t like them.  There was also some backstory to Nate’s life I would have liked to know but that was just because I wanted to know.  It wasn’t vital to the story but it was touched on that Nate’s brother was paralyzed in a war and he felt guilty about it.  I want more information about that. 

Overall, I liked this better then Shaman Charms the Shifter but not by much.
