Resumen del Editor

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town where Halloween is celebrated 365 days a year. The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.

Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.

Ephelia Moreau doesn't know she's in danger. All she knows is that her mothers up to something. Nothing new there. Her mother has been trying to dictate Ephie's life since the day she was born. So when an old boyfriend suddenly appears and tells Ephie about the cool little town he lives in, Ephie jumps on the chance to take a trip, not realizing she's doing exactly what her mother wants. Or what kind of trouble is headed her way.

Remy Lafitte wasn't supposed to be in New Orleans. He was only there to see a sick friend, but then the mother of a former girlfriend finds him and asks for his help. He cant refuse, and not just because her mother is threatening him. If Ephelia's in danger, Remy will do anything he can to protect her (and her cat). She was, after all, the only woman he's ever loved.

Ephie and Remy have a lot of catching up to do, but they may not get the chance when a real threat comes to Nocturne Falls. Suddenly, Ephie's life hangs in the balance and Remy must make a decision. Even if it means breaking his own heart again.

I really love Nocturne Falls! I wish I could live there! This is another great book in the Nocturne Falls Series. I love all the characters. This book is no exception. Ephie and Remy have been in love for so long, it's great to see them find their way back to one another. Kristen Painter is a great writter and I love all her books! If you love fun and a great series to just sit back and listen to, then look no further! Another great book!

Another feel good atory

I love all of Kristen Painter's and Nocturne Falls Universe Books. BJ Harrison is one of my favorite narrators.

5 stars!

Every time we get a new NF book I'm so excited to dive back into this world. You could definitely read this book as a stand-alone but I'll always recommend starting from the beginning so you have the opportunity to meet everyone. Plus if you're listening, you get to sit back and enjoy B.J. Harrison transporting us into a magical world.
Another 5 stars to Kristen Painter for this story or Remi and Ephie! Plus the addition of a new kitty, John Luke (unsure of spelling since I was listening).

My rating scale:
5☆ - I loved this book, and it brought out true emotion in me (laughter, anger, a good cry, etc)
4☆ - I loved this book.
3☆ - I liked this book.
2☆ - I didn't really care for this book.
1☆ - I did not like this book at all and probably did not finish it.

As always...

As always, Kristin weaves an enchanting tale that brings the supernatural into a relatable real world. A world that many dream of living in permanently. And BJ supplies his own magical voice to the tapestry. His skill with accents has enchanted me from book one. Thank you to all involved in this collection. I count myself a richer person because of it.

Cute new addition to the series!

This was cute! What I love about this series is I know, even with all the trials and unhappy moments, that there will always be a happy ending. Plus like this one I think has the cutest cat so far~!

Another great adventure in Nocturne Falls

It's time to go back to Nocturne Falls! While this is book 16, if you haven't read the series yet this can be a standalone.

Kristen has written another fun and exciting adventure for us as we get to know Remy (the vampire deputy) and his ex, Ephelia, a fire witch. Their love story takes us through some history, but is heartwarming and sweet.

As always, thre are plenty of fun characters, including those we've met previously. We get new magical information to add to the world of Nocturne Falls. And there is an absolutely adorable cat to keep us on our toes through the entire story! This little guy is extra special.

B.J. Harrison does a fantastic job with narration. His smooth voice is wonderful to listen to, and his character voices and acting skills keep listeners engaged.

If you love fantasy, romance, adventure and a feisty feline then check out Nocturne Falls and this latest installment!

Spice Level: 🌶️ (1/5) Kissing, romance, no coarse language, no intimate scenes

The Vampire’s Former Flame

The Vampire’s Former Flame by Kristen Painter
Nocturne Falls series #16. Paranormal romance on the lighter side. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Nocturne Falls. A town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year, so paranormals can live openly and tourist just think it’s just tourism.
Remy Lafitte travels to New Orleans to pay his respects to a former mentor and ends up having dinner with his lost love and disapproving mother. Remy is shocked when Ephelia is convinced to travel with him back to Nocturne Falls as a way to protect her from a threat. As expected, that threat does follow the trail back to the small town and it’s up to Remy and other residents to save the day.

🎧 I read this book first as an ebook and did a quick second read today via audiobook. The narration is done by B J Harrison who performs the full series and most of the author catalog. The narration is filled with emotions that make it fun to listen to although he does read slow in my opinion so listened at 1.6 which is slightly faster than my norm.

Entertaining and so much fun to be back in Nocturne Falls and revisit with some of the iconic characters. And I always love the pets in these books. Who can resist a ghost cat that sits on Remy’s head?

My favorite book of the series

This book has been so emotional for me that during chapter 33 I had to get the tissues 😢 . There's so many different plots that complement each other making it hard to stop listening. I had to check the time left thinking that is about to finish and then it takes several turns. I was not expecting the last chapters character.
Remy and Epholia back each other without dominating or criticizing each other. She's not someone that you can step on. You can see how her confidence grows.
Thank you for writing this wonderful book.

Great love story.

I loved the different plot twist and how they flowed with the story. Also, justice wins in the end. Also, the ghost kitty was a nice touch.

Like going home!

So good to be back in Nocturne Falls! Excellent storytelling, great plot line and quirky characters just complex enough to be believable. Keep ‘em coming Kristen!
