I received this copy from the author
for an honest review, and found myself not wanting to put it down!
The whole story just blew me away.
This
story is told by Aldo from 2 different times in her life. The present
(or what she thinks is the present), where she's 24, and then from
her memories at being 17. She, her brothers Whit
and Hudson are triplets raised by their aunt Lucy, and they all have
a special kind of ability to them... They're Healers. Healers
can hear hear the energy that humans have thru their vibrations and
pitches and when someone is in need of healing they pull energy from
other sources (people) and push that energy into the person in need.
They call themselves 'Healer Robin Hoods'. Though
they
cannot interfere with a person who is on the verge of death.
Healers
that practice healing on others don't generally stay in one area too
long, for fear of being caught by Vampires or Blood Healers. A
Healer's blood, is much more divine than any other persons blood.
Blood
Healers are Healers that have been turned by a vampire and are able
to walk in the sunlight.
When
Aldo was 17, there was an accident at a store she was at where a
little girl got hit by a truck. She can sense that her vibrations and
pitches are consistent so she knows that she can be saved. Rushing
around trying to decide who has the best energy to pull from, she
decides on the driver who hit the child.... But he starts pulling HER
energy.. So now she's pretty freaked out because not only did she
just meet another healer, but SHE is the energy source!! So she cuts
off his connection with her. Now with him shocked and amazed she's a
healer, Aldo starts to push her own energy into the child. Which is a
big no no, since she's just draining herself.
After
she comes too from blacking out, the other healer stuck around to
introduce himself as Thomas and they talked for a little bit. But
later on in her dreams is where she really gets to know him, since
she also has the ability absorb any information by a single touch. .
. In her dreams, Thomas is there, they talk some more / she asks him
questions.. All the while thinking it's her own subconscious she's
speaking with, when in actuality he is IN THE DREAM with her; he's a
dream walker.. In the dream he invites her to meet him at a
restaurant, and that's when he tells her that he's 25 and finds out
that she's only 17. That's pretty much just crushed Aldo's world,
especially when he calls her a kid.
He
decides she's more like the sister he's never had and befriends her
and her family. They all become very close with Thomas; Aldo even
falls in love with him. Then one day, when her aunt has scheduled a
healing at their house, she sends Aldo and her brothers away for the
afternoon.... Their lives will never be the same....
I
could really go on and on and on and ON about this story, but I don't
want to give too much away!!!! Ahhhhh! I just really love how it was
all done, and how it came together. Ms. Toler did an amazing job! It
kind of had me thinking of the movie “Inception” just from all of
the dream sequences.
A
few things I will say is that I am in love with Rhett's character,
and hope he kicks Thomas's little ass when they find him LOL. . .
*Dramatic
Music*
!! When Rhett and Aldo arrived at the farmhouse, he looked it over
and said, “Interesting”.. I kind of had an idea of what was
happening, loved it, great idea!
Also,
I think it'd be pretty neat if Aldo became a Blood Healer.. With
Rhett.....*swoon*!!!
Can't wait for the next book!
“I
never thought I would be able to feel for someone again, because I
shut myself off to it. She saved you and because she did..., I found
you.” - Rhett Mason
