I thought the fight was over. I thought we’d finally earned our future. I was wrong.
The explosion should have killed us all. Instead, it shattered everything we knew, burying my mates under rubble and tearing our pack apart.
My mates are somewhere inside—trapped, hurt, dying. And the clock is ticking.
Nine souls tied to mine, nine men I would tear the world apart to save. But this isn’t a battle that can be won with teeth and claws. It’s one that is fought with hope. With sacrifice. With everything I have when the world takes the rest away.
I have healing in my blood, power in my veins, and a town full of wolves depending on me. My healing magic—once just a whisper—now flows through me like a river, stronger than I ever thought possible. But even with everything I’ve learned, even with every ally at my side, I don’t know if it will be enough...
Because saving a pack doesn’t come without sacrifice. Because healing broken bodies won’t erase broken hearts. And because not everyone who survives will ever be the same.
I came here to build a home. I found more than that—my soulmates, my family, a pack, and a reason to fight for something bigger than myself.
The Council is circling. The stalker is waiting. And if we fall now, we don’t just lose each other—we lose everything we’ve fought for.
I never asked for this war... but I’ll fight with everything I have if it’s the only way to bring them home.
Healer is the fourth book in a completed medium-burn paranormal reverse harem romance series, full of fierce loyalty, rising danger, and a heroine who refuses to let fate steal what she fought to build. You must read the previous books first to follow the story. Content warnings include PTSD, trauma recovery, and mentions of abuse.
Letty Frame is an English paranormal and omegaverse reverse harem romance author who writes the kind of fated-mates stories every broken soul deserves. With big feelings, fierce men, and heroines who rise from the ashes, #whychoose has become her guiding motto. Navigating chronic illness and mental health, Letty’s life is chaotic but perfect—and that messy, beautiful honesty lies at the heart of her stories. She writes broken characters, fate-driven romances, and hard-won happily-ever-afters that no one resents them for… except, arguably, their author. After all, what could a mentally ill romance author want more than a happy ever after? A traumatised, emotionally devastating journey to earning it.
3.5 stars. This book immediately continues from the previous. It was interesting seeing how everyone deals and copes with grief. I felt really bad for Lottie. She did not deserve all the blame getting put on her. There were so many times where I thought that the characters took it too far with her. She truly is remarkable in this book. I hope in the next book there is a lot of grovelling to be done because she deserves so much better. The additional characters in this book were fantastic. Roman and Freya are fastly becoming one of my favourites. The stalker and council are becoming big issues and I endeavour to find out how the gang will react in the coming books. Can't wait for the next book, I just want for Lottie and her mates to get their HEA.
2,5 stars This book made me so mad and pissed and just angsty and a chaos of emotions. I don´t know what to say to the shit show that we saw play out, the poor girl/luna got left standing alone legit with the rest of the immature bunch of mates, *assholes, pricks doing whatever they want, just checking out cuz of their grieve. That´s just selfish, when you see that it´s not only YOU that is grieving and being hurt and all that. Their behaviour was soo not okay, i wanted to kick their asssses and kick them out of the house. Out of 9 mates, no one was able to step up for her? WTH, i wanted her to just run the hell out of their mate bond cut ties and run somewhere else. I hated how they acted, they blamed Lottie their love of their life and legit hated her and some of them even said it to her face and just pushed her even more down than she was. I mean she lost her mom and just her whole world fell apart. She got emotionally abused by her own mates, all of em was bad but i would say they worst was River and maybe Reth and Noah? and Warren.
Her friends sees whats going on, but do nothing to help with the guys emotionally abusing her. Instead they get her drunk and buy her sex toys (like a joke), i mean they help her with work. nah i dunno
Being generous with 3.5 stars ONLY because the last 20% redeemed this book
I am being so so generous by rating this book 4 stars (3.5 really), and it is ONLY because the last 20% of the book redeemed the rest. The end was really good, please keep that in mind while I vent my dislikes now. **Spoilers ahead** So, this book picks up where we left off- The explosion at Charles’ Alpha Coronation. So the beginning of the book was dealing with the chaos and immediate aftermath of that explosion, and that was fine and wasn’t what pissed me off. What pissed me off is that after the carnage was dealt with, Lottie’s mates basically spent 2/3 of this book competing for who could make her feel the worst. I’m not even joking, that’s seriously what the majority of this book was. I understand the grief process/dealing with trauma is different for everyone, but seriously, the constant hate, resentment, and avoidance towards Lottie in general by her mates was SO AGGRAVATING…. Literally acting like everything is her fault?? Excuse you? And almost every single one of them just stopped with their pack duties and ALL the work fell on Lottie primarily, with help from Wyatt(the only mate to help), Lionel, Katie and Lexi. When they were not equipped/prepared for all the work after the explosion. Her mates completely hung her out to dry and just ignored her while also ignoring their responsibilities. Wyatt was the ONLY mate that was there for Lottie at work, and didn’t blame her for what happened. As a reader who really puts themselves into the MC’s shoes/POV, reading that kind of behavior in such length was anything BUT pleasing. Like it seriously gave me anxiety reading 2/3 of this book. The only reason I decided to push through to the end was because I loved the first 3 books and was so excited where this series would go. Don’t get me wrong, Lottie can irritate me a little bit sometimes and act a little self-riotous, but despite absolutely adoring her mates prior to this book, I seriously ending up despising MANY OF THEM. Wyatt deserves a gold star for at least sticking with his mate while the others just kept hurting her in their anger. Thankfully, they started to get their act together by 66%, and made some real progress around 80% onward, but they have some SERIOUS groveling to do. All that being said, I AM glad that I finished this book, because the new characters and parts of Lotties journey that are starting to unravel are very exciting and I think it will make a great ending to this series. Preordered next book.
I've got this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is the second book that I'm going to have to rate 3.5 ⭐️
The book itself wasn't bad, but the characters (male in this part) were absurd! I get that we all grief differently, but blaming one person for all of it even though it wasn't her fault? They truly are kids! There's 10 of them and they aren't even able to talk about it openly and address all of their concerns? C'mon, I thought Lottie's guys were better than that!
I still love how Lottie is trying to keep it together, although she wasn't really yet able to mourn properly. She has a lot on her mind she has to deal with and she can't even really talk to anyone about it because it's a triggering subject and as or right now really sensitive. However she should've been able to talk openly and without criticism with her guys! They deny her even that!
I'm not saying I don't like the book, I did, really. The thing that is agitating me the most is the misunderstanding from some characters. This series is too good to be ruined or for me at least, so I can't wait to read the next on in the series!
Please let Lottie take her power back and not back down! She's powerful and those "men" need to understand that she's more than capable to handle things on her own. As she's doing just now!
Some spoilers may occur: I don't know if the books are getting worse or better. Like the first, it's not a two star, but not quite three either. The writing is a bit better..or I'm getting used to the flat language.. but there are so many things that just doesn't add up. The constantly big things happening might keep a reader occupied and not take notice of all the idiotic things that suddenly appears. It just seems like they appear because they are convenient for the story. Like all the things Lottie doesn't learn along the way cause somebody forgot to teach her.. a twin that normally calls the other twin several times a week, but goes for weeks before learning she's found her mate. And so on..
A really annoying series, because I need to know what happens...
This book is a catastrophic mess. I literally feel sick with the emotional bullshit this story is. I vented to my family about how awesome this story could be only for it to get worse with each book.
I will admit I couldn’t finish the book. I stopped at about 50%. Everyone of the main characters are annoying as fuck. They went from mature individuals to immature whiney idiots. Fmc has a guilt complex. I never thought I would think I wished the fmc would run away and never come back. Fuck the chosen destiny that we still know nothing about so I don’t care about it. Fuck the useless emotionally and mentally abusive mates who should just die. Fuck the stalker who makes no sense. Like you weren’t stalking her before she came to this town. Why the fuck are you suddenly stalking her now. Fuck the suddenly pointless guardian who is running around no where near his ward on a mission that feels like a excuse. The fmc is finally woman-ing up to an extent (still wish she would just say fuck this you are all on your own) and she has way to much on her plate with no real support. I just want her to imprison all mates and guardian so they at least aren’t causing more problems with they tantrums, take over the wolf nation of UK and just shut down all the nonsense.
This is book four and I do not understand why there has been no character or story development just regression, stagnation and more dramatic problems.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This book was true Letty magic! I loved every moment from beginning to end, even the hard moments. This book was raw, gritty, emotional and so much more. Lottie’s journey is anything but easy and simple. After everything that happened, there is no doubt going to be mourning and difficult times, but I’m sure Lottie didn’t expect all that could have happened.
I see so much growth in Lottie throughout this book, it’s truly beautiful. Despite the blame she lays on herself, she grows stronger from everything that has happened, is happening and will happen. She takes it a moment at a time and does everything she can for those she loves.
I won’t lie, I definitely wanted to kick Lottie’s mates butts, more than once. But Lottie eventually isn’t taking their crap anymore and whips them out of their funk. Her take control attitude was AWESOME! And she handled it was such grace. But I’ll always adore the bonds Lottie has with her mates, it’s truly beautiful.
I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book! I am genuinely so curious to see where Letty Frame takes this story!
Out of all the books in this series (so far) I’ve both loved and hated this part of Lottie and her families story the most. This book is aptly named Healer. If you are not in a place to handle extreme emotions and many tears that you bookmark this book to come back to later.
I’ve read very few books that truly encapsulate the way some people process extreme trauma and grief, but Letty Fame knocks it out of the park. This is not your cookie cutter depiction of the grief process, the one we want to tell convince ourselves is how grief “should” be. It is dark and gritty, and shows the true depths of despair that many people go through when processing a major traumatic event.
I spent 99.9% of this book swearing at Lottie’s 9 mates. The f@$ked up severely, letting down not only their mate but their entire community. As much as I hate the Wolf Council, when they insisted they needed to visit in person because of concerns that the alphas were failing I I really wanted her to gather them together and say “guess what assholes, you are. I’m not covering for you any more, and maybe the pack would be better off if someone else was their alpha”. (Even if that’s not what she would have done).
I really wanted Lottie to lift her “no violence” restrictions because every single one of her mates deserves a beat down. As outsiders (or readers) it can be easy to determine and judge people for doing things “wrong”. But grief and trauma is messy. We may want to tell ourselves that it’s straightforward and the people who love us will always be there to support us. But that’s not always true. Depression, loathing, hatred and self-deprecation are not uncommon. While processing severe trauma and grief our thoughts and actions don’t always make sense. They can be hurtful to ourselves and those around us.
Frame encapsulated all of that in Healer, and I can’t wait to start the next book.
OK, I’m 100% sure that this book was just rage but like utter complete rage bait, it took me twice as long to read this then the second book the third book was made but this genuinely pissed me off. I get that the meats were traumatised. I get that to some degree that they were angry but I honestly don’t fucking care the way they treated her was so fucking disgusting like so fucking disgusting I can’t forgive especially I know at some point they’re gonna make up. I know they’re gonna be handy and dandy and she’s made up with everyone else, but I do not care. I still have this anger. She’s a better person than me I promise but they were mates, so tired and that’s how they treated her. I’m sorry the words were saying to her was basically verbal abuse at this point. And with all the guys if we’re going to trauma for trauma which we shouldn’t even be doing, she honestly suffered the most. I know they’re sad. I know they were scared about her but my school was actually in it and now she’s dealing with your bullshit nah. I honestly only end up finishing it because I was like I was gonna get better oh it’s gonna get better no Babes no I didn’t and still like 85% into the book and by that point I thought that they were gonna be like a magazine. I thought that they were gonna be like period I was saying oh no doesn’t happen this fast. This whole entire book has been about not putting human standards to their relationship but yet they’re acting like a human baby.
Book 4 of Lottie's journey is aptly named. Not just for her ability as a powerful healer, but for the healing process itself. Many books detail tragic events happening to and around the main characters but kind of gloss over the healing process to move the story along, which is not a bad thing at all depending on the book. This book doesn't. It digs deep into the process from the physical healing to the effects trauma can have on each individuals behaviors and mentality.
It was not a quick process and sometimes it was hard to read, but that's because it was so real. And no matter how I wanted to bop some of the guys and tell them to get over it and start helping, I got it. They couldn't at that time and had to work through some of the bad on their own. Although, Lottie has so much more forgiveness in her pinkie than I do in my whole being. I hope she takes her Mom's advice about the groveling.
We meet some new characters and I LOVE them. Can't wait to see more from them. And I definitely can't wait for Stalker to come out!!!
I tried so hard to finish the series. I hate that I’ll never know the answers to all the questions I have but this book was just so friggen toxic that I can’t finish it. I made it about 80% through the book before I just … had to stop. There is no real point to this book. It’s the aftermath of the explosion, she heals a bunch of people, she goes back to her own pack where her mates then treat her like complete sh*t. They are emotionally and verbally abusive and the FMC just sits there all “it was my fault, I deserve this” - full on battered wife syndrome and then when she finally gets sick of it, she locks them all in a room and they talk about why they were acting like as*holes - none of it justifies the things they said/did and was more of an excuse than an apology and again, mostly they said it was all her fault and it was just trash. She never stands up for herself, she never walks away from them or demands change. She just lets them sh*t all over her and then wants sex and it’s all better. And that was the majority of the book.
WOWZERS!! when I first started this series I thought it was going to be one of those cute werewolf series girl finds mates and lives happily ever after. I WAS WRONG... SO SO WRONG. About a quarter of the way through the book I started bawling now I'm not talking a few tears I was a full on blubbery mess there was hickups and tears and so so much snot I was a full or blubbery mess. Now I was quite upset and only a quarter of the way through and you think it would get better BUT NO it got worse the more I read the more times I cried. I cannot believe how amazing the 4th book in the series is. I really wanted to Sh*******ank all her mates for being so aaaaaas**oly to her and by the end of the book I was in shock. What an amazing end to this book like WOW absolutley blown away. If you haven't started this series yet WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR.
What do you do when you’re surrounded by people who are supposed to love you but you feel all alone ? You’re keeping everything going , and no one wants or cares to help?
That is Lottie’s life. Everyone is hurting, and she keeps trucking, trying to help people piece their lives back together after the terrorist attack that hit a happy occasion. The far reaching implications of that attack are still being realized.
I cried 10 times this book. It hurt. I wanted to stab every one of her mates, because they couldn’t see that they left her in a sea of hurt. I was glad to see things get pieced back together this book, but I hope the boys grovel hard for the way she felt.
So I has some concerns before this book. Cadence snarling "little girl" while forcing her to submit.... then it was fine with a sorry. This book, though. These men were mentally and emotionally abusive. Lottie saved a pack from abuse. Mentions herself that not all abuse is physical, yet she just accepts it. From several of her mates. And gladly forgives them as long as they will try to talk to her again. I just can't keep reading. Characters can be redeemed. They can learn from their mistakes. But not in 1 hour. Really, it needed to take an entire book of proving themselves, groveling, and just flat out doing better. Also, Theo? At this point he can just go home. He knows her the best blah blah, so he is purposely hurting her also.
After eagerly awaiting this book to be ready I sat and devoured it in one go! Lotties story picks up right after the last cliffhanger, and the book is everything I could have hoped for and more.! I loved how all the characters seemed to change in this book and have a wide range of different responses to the things happening, I was a little annoyed with Lottie at one point only because I wanted her to pull her head out the sand sooner but grief and guilt come in all different images and this book shows perfectly how each person deals with things in their own way, I can not wait until October for the next instalment of this series HURRY UP OCTOBER!!!!
Great book. Hated the guys in this book though. They need to be tased and throat punched. Seriously though, the guys suck in this one.
In this book we get the fallout of the bomb going off in the last book as well as how everyone deals with the outcomes of the bomb. Lottie does more growing within herself as well as with her abilities. Lottie faced a lot with the bomb and with her guys, and I’m hopeful for the next book that her life gets much better and that the guys wake the heck up. Lottie is going to need them to deal with her stalker once and for all. Great book, but again the guys need throat punched.
I loved the first book in the series, but after the second I wasn't loving where the plot was going, and i was kinda done after book two, but then i got this on audio and gave it a go. A lot happened in the first few chapters here, but the last 80% was just repetitive whining and nothing much resulting from it. I adore Freya though, so those parts were worth it. I love most of this author's books, so I think this is just me being so tired of the politics and big war-plotlines that are in too many paranormal books lately. 1 star, but might listen to the next one just to say i finished the series
I fall more in love with Letty's books each time I read one. I've been impatiently waiting for this to release after the cliffhanger of book 3 and she didn't disappoint! This was one of those books where I struggled to put it down and lost a lot of sleep because I didn't want to stop reading. There's SO much emotion, drama, angst, action and it really has you experiencing a ton of emotions ranging from sad, anger, what just happened?! I really hope the guys make it up to Lottie so I am now impatiently waiting for the next!
This entire book is a trigger warning. Just all the emotional abuse, ladies. If you've been reading up until this point and holding on just because you want their happy relationship moment, it's not coming in this series in a way that satisfies.
If you struggle with reading about emotionally abusive MMCs or even the FMCs because she's the worst too, and need that happily ever after where they work it out and really put in the work in order to feel good again, stop here. You don't want to read this.
Honestly, after Lottie's abusive crap from the first books and then this book, the entire relationship is doomed to fail. The guys should just fall in love with each other and move on.
Picking up straight after the terrifying cliffhanger in the last book, we find Lottie and her mates trying to survive the explosion and the aftermath. I'm not gonna lie Lotties pain was heartbreaking and at times i wanted to throat punch at least half her mates as everything seemed to go to h*** and Lottie was left to deal with it alone.
with a much happier ending, i can't wait for the next book to see what further hurdles fate has in store for Lottie.
I also love the addition of Freya to the girl group and really hope we get her story one day.
Good story but definitely not my favorite out of the four I have read so far. This book was a hard read for me. So please check trigger warnings for mental abuse and self inflicted mental abuse.
Anyways there are some good moments in here. Lottie learns a lot and her relationship with Freya is one I am definitely interested in. I also hope that River gets back something he thinks is lost. Let’s face it we all know he will when the time is right.
On to book five where the stalker is revealed or that is my hope since it’s titled that way.
This series just keeps getting better and better! I have never read such an eventful and exciting series like this! Lottie has been through so much and that’s not changing anytime soon. Healer had me sad at the beginning and angry the rest. Her mates…I wanted to knock them upside the head! This book definitely showcased Lottie’s strength and I love her even more. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
Wow! This book takes place right after book 3 and it’s a doozy. It was a rollercoaster of emotion. You couldn’t help but feel for Lottie, and all she’s having to go through in this book. Even though her men also needed to go through some healing, I wanted to knock some sense into some of them. Lottie forgave too quickly, and I hopefully she listens to her mother’s advice and makes them grovel.
I’m totally loving this series and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
This book made me cry so much. It's amazing how Letty Frame made you feel all of Lottie's feelings. Everything she was going through pulled at my heartstrings. I wanted to jump in the book and kick her mates for not seeing what was happening. There were many times I wanted to throw my kindle across the room but I'm glad to report that my kindle is okay. This book was amazing and I can't wait to see what happens next!
This one was a tough book to get through. The guys were super whinny and just flawed I guess. Lotties character made me mad too with how she was taking blame and almost giving up. That being said, I like that the author did this. It shows that the characters are not perfect that nothing phases them. Instead it shows that they are imperfect and they struggle with traumatic situations that are relatable.

Healer is book four in the Luna Series. I think this was the best book yet in this series. The author did a great job writing about how trauma affects people in different ways. I felt really bad for Lottie and how she was struggling and her frustration with her mates for basically making her feel alone. Healer is a raw, gritty and emotional read and definitely a must read!
Healer deals with the events following Allies’ cliffhanger and how Lottie and her men all deal with the aftermath. There are few scenes where I had to stop myself from wooping out loud at Lottie’s actions.
It’s honestly a great book and I cannot wait for the next.
This book. I don't have words for how much I enjoyed it. It pulled me deep into my emotions. All the feelings that get portrayed through the story really made the progression of the story feel genuine. I LOVE these characters even if a couple of the guys could really use a hit to the head. I am beyond curious as to how the plot line will end. I need more!
I loved that this book takes a turn. The good n the bad things they have to deal with. This book gives us so much character development not just with Lottie and her men but with so many others! I also loved how she makes a new friend Freya and hurt mate too! Can not wait till the next book!!! Like seriously need it now lol!
