A psychic detective.
An alpha wolf.
A forbidden love that could tear the pack apart.

Detective Macey Carpenter has been on the trail of a vicious attacker for weeks. The evidence keeps disappearing, and it seems she'll never solve the case. Finding love is the least of her worries, but she can't deny her attraction to a mysterious man who knows more about the crimes than he should.

A man who may be more than he seems…

When Luke Mason falls head over tail for the feisty human detective, supernatural secrets aren’t the only things at stake.

He has to mate with another werewolf or he’ll sacrifice his position as alpha. But as heat builds between the pair, he discovers Macey has a few secrets of her own.

She may hold the key to ridding New Orleans of its demons…

But his feelings for her could tear his pack apart.

Fated mates. Forbidden love. A steamy shifter paranormal romance you can sink your teeth into.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Look no farther for a unique shifter romance--"Werewolves Only" is absolutely thrilling. From page one, the suspense is magnetic and builds up climactically in this happily ever after read. The chemistry between Luke and Macey is explosive, and the angst and hunger for power in the Wolf Pack is written with brilliance. The steam is hot, the intrigue is racy, and the romance is a heart warmer!" ~InD'tale Magazine

 "This first book in a series will have you wanting the next book almost immediately! This story is a wonderful mixture of a paranormal romance and a mystery. I loved this fast paced paranormal story and can't wait for the next book." ~Night Owl Romance

"Don't expect a light and fluffy paranormal romance. This has more grit than that." ~The Romance Reviews

This interesting and well-written book 1 in The Crescent City Wolf Pack Book Series has a sassy, strong, heroine, hot-as-sin alpha wolf and dangerous demons. This has an interesting paranornormal romance book. It has an intriguing story and amazing characters with unique personalities and good histories. These wonderful characters and story will grab your interest throughout the book. I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

journeys of self discovery and re-imagining out dated understandings of self, law or traditions are at the heart of this action packed shifter versus demon drama, with plenty of intrigue and steamy stuff

intense and suspense filled, including a butt kicking heroine, and an alphahole who is trying to do better for his pack, any potential partner, and himself and his family

Demond and detectives and werewolves oh my! Lol I really enjoyed this beginning of a series. Luke is set to become alpha but not without a mate. Macey is a detective trying to find the bad guy causing all kinds of hell. Demons are running around and peoples lives are at stake. I like that it’s a mystery with romance. I liked that it’s also a build up and it wasn’t instantly done. Macey had a lot to learn and still has a lot to overcome. Luke is a good guy and wants to do what’s right but sometimes the right thing isn’t the easy thing. Overall, I loved it!

It's not the writing was bad, per say. However, it was very predictable and anti-climactic, from the not so steamy scenes to the fight scenes. Even the half-demon was pretty cheesy and boring. It was an okay book, it kept my interest for the most part. It just that aside from Macey and Luke, it wasn't developed enough. It could have been so much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECTLY IMPERFECT
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019

WEREWOLVES ONLY is the first book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series. Each is a stand-alone romance featuring a couple in the Crescent City Wolf Pack in New Orleans.

Luke is everything I want in a man. He is strong, alpha, caring, decisive, protective, and a bit of a butt. (Why does anyone want someone who is perfect? Perfect people are egotistical and self-centered. I like a flaw.) Too often, things have to be spelled out in little words for him to get the big picture on the important things for his girl (men can be dense in the romance field), but his heart is always in the right place.

Macey is emotionally damaged, but intelligent and gifted. She has guarded her heart for so long, she doesn’t know if or when to drop the shields. It was a little maddening at times and I wanted to shake her, but remember Luke was being a butt (see previous paragraph!). As often happens, communication is the big lesson these two need to learn – we all need to learn – to grow as a couple.

I recently read A DEAL WITH DEATH and loved it. So, I was thrilled to be able to grab WEREWOLVES ONLY as a short-term Amazon free offer and read the beginning of this series. I was not disappointed. WEREWOLVES ONLY is a page-turner that kept me glued to my kindle. It is well written and wonderfully layered. The characters are beautiful and beautifully flawed. There is passion, compassion, good and evil, family, romance, friends, and community. This is a world, though imperfect, is one that I would want to call home.

Title: WEREWOLVES ONLY

4.0 out of 5 stars Psychic or not, she didn't see that coming!
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2022

Werewolves Only is book 1 in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series and though the story stands alone, there is obvious setup for future books. It's written in third person omniscient from multiple points of view (by chapter or chapter division).

This is one of those fated forbidden mates stories: Luke is a werewolf and Macey is a human unaware of their world (though she has psychic abilities, so she's not entirely normal either). The two are a perfect match personality-wise from the start, so the readers are along for how this dilemma (and the crimes) will be solved. Overall, both characters were well fleshed out with histories of their own and a few hangups though we did skip the trope of both characters having to have horribly tragic stories, so there's that positive too. They get to know each other as they both work to solve this case from different sides of the fence.

There is some very real violence done to people in the book, so if death by demon, rape, or torture by demon are triggers, I'd steer clear. None of these are depicted in detail, so no worries there. Just be aware there are some sad and cringe moments. There are also a few steamy scenes that are on the opposite end of that spectrum.

The book had a good plot, good characters that you root for from the start, some interesting world building, a healthy dose of steam, and some sweet sibling moments. Definitely worth a read. If you're visiting from Mrs. Pulkinen's more irreverent series, this is a lot more serious, but I think you'll enjoy it.

Wow! “Werewolves Only” is the 1st book I’ve ever read by Ms. Pulkinen, but it absolutely won’t be my last! ... I was hooked from the get-go & did not want to stop whenever real life got in my way ;) lol ... A fresh & unique plot in PNR with shifters & magic, an amazing H/h & relatable characters that jump off the pages, both good & evil, witty dialogue & fantastic attention-to-detail with surprise twists & turns will keep readers engaged & turning pages fast like I did! Great suspense & smoking hot romance, adds to this author’s masterful way of writing in this phenomenal, nail-biting must read!

Werewolves Only is the first book in The Crescent City Wolf Pack series by Carrie Pulkinen.
The Pack is trying to keep the supernatural world secret , especially Demons. But suddenly there are killings and they all bear the typical sign of Demons at work.
Luke Mason is the 2nd in command, about to become Alpha, once his dad retires.
He is in charge of hunting and eliminating the Demons.
Currently he is competing with his cousin for the Alpha post as Luke is not married, yet and his cousin is. This puts extra pressure on him. Plus he can only marry a werewolf, not a human. Then he meets Macey Carpenter, Detective in charge of solving the despicable murders.
She has a secret gift that she only shares with her trusted colleague Bryce. She does not trust people easily, yet there's something about Luke. Can she trust him?
They have immediate chemistry and sparks flying all over, but Macey is human!
Another great book set in New Orleans, and although it took me a bit to warm up, especially to Macey, this is a great book and sets the stage for the next book!!!
PNR at its finest!!!

“The pack did its best to keep peace in the supernatural community and to keep their existence a secret from the humans. Psychics and witches may have found a way to coexist…exposing some of their powers to the mundane…but there was no way in hell people would be as accepting of a predatory species like his. He had to stop Macey from learning anything about the demons…and especially the werewolves. Keeping tabs on the sexy detective proved a nice bonus…”

Werewolves Only is the first book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series by Carrie Pulkinen. It is a great paranormal romance- with shifters/werewolves, demons, supernatural elements, mystery, suspense, action, police investigation, and plenty of drama- all set against the vibrant and mystical backdrop of New Orleans.
Ms. Pulkinen is a ‘new-to-me’ author that I will definitely be reading much more of in the future. The story surprised me, because initially I thought it was a bit slow to start with, but I found that after a couple of chapters I was completely hooked and eagerly read the rest of the book. I had to find what happens and whether they figure everything out.
The story is told from several points of view, which I really appreciated, because it really gave the story much more complexity, and depth- and gave me so much more to contemplate.
The characters are interesting and well developed. I loved Luke and Macey!! I was cheering them on right from the get-go! There was a lot more to them, and the story, than meets the eye.
The story is quite suspenseful, with a real ‘mystery’ to try to unravel. There are funny moment- with witty quips/banter that made me smile. Then there were quite gruesome scenes that really ramped up the intensity of the story. Ms. Pulkinen effortlessly describes what was happening in the story, painting a picture in my mind, and making it more like ‘watching’ everything play out, instead of merely reading along.
I can’t wait to see what book two has in store for me!

Thank you, Ms. Pulkinen!

Mackey is a tough woman detective. Luke is the local werewolf pack Alpha-in-waiting. Luke has watched Macey as she investigates a series of rapes and attempted rapes. Unlike her he knows that it’s the supernatural behind these crimes and doesn’t want a frail human involved and getting hurt. Then she walks into his father’s bar one day and he realises that there is more to her than he first thought.
The two of them are completely drawn to each other but they both have issues. Can they overcome the demons, both actual and metaphorical, that are determined to kill them and their love?
Lots of action and romance.
