5.0 out of 5 starsA fun read
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2017
This book is one of the Nocturne Falls Universe Books which is based on one of my favorite series Nocturne Falls by one of my favorite authors Kristin Painter. Nocturne Falls is a city full of supernaturals who celebrate Halloween 365 days a head. So humans think they are dressing up like Vampires, were wolves, Fae etc but they are not costumes. Sounds like a fun city to visit. I love reading about the citizens of this town and the new ones by new authors to me who write for the Nocturne Falls Universe series. This book was about a Shaman and a were panther who was a bird 21 hours a day thanks to a witch who cursed her. Read to see how this fun story unfolds. You will not be disappointed!

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2017
Kianso is a lawyer and was a Shaman in Hawaii.Since his family died he gave up being a Shaman. I did not like that it was not explained why he gave it up except it had something to do with the death of his mother and sister. Sasha has a spell cast on her by a witch into a bird only letting her be human three hours a day. Story was not that interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars This story was a fun addition to NFU
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2017
This story was a fun addition to NFU. I love the unique lore we get to see with Kianso, a shaman from Hawaii. He has tried hard to leave that part of him behind, after the death of his family members, but dreams and visions keep urging him to accept his past and who he is. He has made a life as a small town lawyer and is content for the most part. That is, until his friend encourages him to visit Nocturne Falls. His visions get stronger upon arriving in town. He sees a woman at Howler's that he is immediately drawn to. Sasha is a leopard shifter who has been cursed into the form of a parrot 21 hours of each day. She is only human for three hours each evening, and that's when her eyes first fell on Kianso. She is attracted to him, and feels a pull toward him. As soon as Kianso learns of her curse, he knows that he's the one to help break the curse, and that she is his destiny. They receive help from the local witches and work towards freeing her.
I loved the concept of the vision animals/ spirit guides that Kianso called upon. I actually wish we got to see more of his experience in his dream state.
I loved the destiny of the two finding each other and the characters that were used from Nocturne Falls. I enjoyed the story of the leopard shifter trapped in the body of the bird and the frustrations and limitations that come along with that, but I wish they would have shown more of her shifter side. All in all it was a fun read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love conquers all
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017
This is the author's second book in Nocturne Falls Universe, following The Vampire Bounty Hunter's Unexpected Catch. I quite liked her first book, and I had high hopes for this one. The book was pretty good, however it was missing the action featured in the previous book. 
The story revolves around leopard shifter Sasha, who is suffering from a curse, and Kianso, a shaman who renounced his gift after a family tragedy. Two of them accidentally meet in Nocturne Falls and are instantly drawn to each other. I wish there was more of a buildup instead, however, the story is warm proper romance which relies on love conquers all. There are no proper villains in this story, but many obstacles.
The author made a great use of the Nocturne Falls world and characters, as well as one of her own characters, Seth, the angel from her Divine Tree Guardians series. The witches from the Nocturne Falls are prominently featured and there are series of interactions between them and the two main characters.
Nocturne Falls universe contains 25 books at the moment. Original Nocturne Falls series contains eight books and four short stories, as well as four books of the Jayne Frost spin off series. All of the series are great entertaining light read and I highly recommend them.

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017
The Shaman Charms the Shifter by Larissa Emerald

From the kindle world of Nocturne Falls created by Kristen Painter.
Second novella by this author in this Halloween town of paranormals.

The heroine is stuck as a bird for all but 3 hours a day from a vengeful spell. The hero falls in love immediately. A timely romantic Halloween spell may help them solve the problem.
It was sad he walked away from his Shaman life. Perhaps Nocturne Falls will help heal him.

Excerpt:
“One thing he did know without question was that this woman was meant for him. It was more than love at first sight. It was two souls being connected. He understood how it was possible. At least from a shamanic point of view.”
Excerpt From: Emerald, Larissa. “The Shaman Charms the Shifter.” Sugar Skull Books

4.0 out of 5 stars Shaman and Shifter
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017
After getting struck by a witches spell Sasha is now destined to live her life not as the shifter she should be but rather as a parrot with the ability to turn human for only three hours of each day. Kianso is a shaman who has left his heritage behind after an accident takes his family. Drawn to each other and not understanding why Sasha is on a race to revert the spell that holds her ca[tive.

I really enjoyed this story, overall it was well written and a different content to anything we have seen in Nocturne Falls with the inclusion of the Shamanic influence. I will admit at times I was a little confused with some aspects of the story but it ended up tying in nicely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2017
Sasha, a feline shifter, has been cursed into the form of a bird by a jealous friend. She can only be human for 3 hours a day. Kianso , who has denied his magical skills as a Shaman ever since his parents and sister died, finds himself drawn to Sasha. He is anxious to explore his feelings for her. Later he realizes he had dreamed about her years ago. Will he embrace his magic again in order to save Sasha from the curse? This was a sweet love story. I would have liked for the author to explain more about Kianso’s shaman skills. He communicates with spirit animals, but it’s vague how he does it. Otherwise I enjoyed the read.

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017
The Shaman Charms The Shifter is another Larissa Emerald story in the Nocturne Falls Universe.

Sasha is a leopard shifter who crossed a witch, and has been turned into a parrot, only able to be human 3 hours a day.

Kianso is a Shaman who turned his back on his magic and heritage when he lost his family.

Together, can they reverse the curse?

Ms. Emerald gives us another great story in Kristen Painter's Nocturne Falls Universe. Definite must read!

4.0 out of 5 stars True love conquers all.
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017
I enjoyed this story about Sasha and Kianso. Sasha is a leopard shifter that had a curse put on her in anger that causes her to be a bird for 21 hours a day. Kianso is a shaman who has turned his back on the shaman way after a terrible accident took his family. I wish there was more background on how he lost his family since it had such a major impact on the main character. I found the story interesting and look forward to more books set in Nocturne Falls.

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017
I enjoyed this book, the author is new for me and I didn't know what to expect but I'm glad I volunteered to read an ARC of this book. I liked the storyline, it was both different and well written. I loved the world created by Larissa and will definitely look out for more books by this author.

I am voluntarily writing this review on the ARC I read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shaman and a shifter
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2017
This book is another installment into the Nocturne Falls Universe. This story has to do with Sasha, who is a leopard shifter and Kianso, a shaman. Sasha is put under a curse by a jealous witch and turned into a bird, except for 3 hours per day. The story centers around undoing the curse and leads to Kianso and Sasha falling in love. Fun short story.
