About This Romance ARC

4.2 • 12

He Rejected Her Once. Now He Can’t Let Her Go.

Lucia is a ghost in the Blackwood Pack. A human healer with no memory of her past, she has spent years suppressing a gift that is as self-destructive as it is miraculous. Every life she saves chips away at her own, fueled by a power she can neither understand nor control.

But Lucia is tired of being a shadow. Amidst the chaos of a dying pack, she is on a desperate quest to uncover the truth of who she was before the Blackwood claimed her—and to reclaim the identity that was stolen.

Alpha Kaelen is a ruthless leader driven by a brutal breeding program to save his people. He guards Lucia with a suffocating intensity, driven by a visceral hunger he can no longer ignore. But as the pack’s numbers dwindle and Lucia’s scent transforms, the whispers of her true nature grow too loud to ignore.

As the lethal Beta, Ragnar, begins to circle, offering to help her “explore the limits of her potential,” Lucia must decide: will she remain a caged asset for the man who once threw her away, or will she finally seize her true identity—and decide what the pack is allowed to take from her?

The Alpha's Healer is a dark, slow-burn shifter romance.

Featured Tropes: Rejected Mate, Forced Proximity, Touch Her and Die, Hidden Identity.

Vibe: A volatile healer reclaiming her power from the Alpha who nearly broke her.

Thank you to penpinery for the ARC. This review is voluntary and an honest one.

This book is very well written. Detailed in every way. The healer is supposed to be human but there’s definitely more to her. She ends up attracting a bear shifter into the werewolves territory and no one re…
