After taking his own life when a patient dies on his table, Scott wakes to find himself stuck in a twisted, shadowy version of Blister City his personal purgatory. His only ticket out is to work as a “Healer” to save the lost souls of this corrupt, crumbling world.

Hard to Tune Out

The sarcastic tone grabs me from the first chapter. I take advantage of the time I'm doing other things and I end up paying attention because I don't want to miss anything.

A Gritty Purgatorial Ride

"Healers" by Brooke Reynolds offers a refreshingly dark and unique take on the afterlife and redemption that truly captivated me.

Excellent story line

The book kept me hooked from start to finish! Only critique is not super fond of the voice acting. Mild trigger warning for child SA.

A page turner!

It’s a great story about finding your way through life (or death) and finding your ability to see the good and enjoy it while you can. It has fun supernatural elements and also a canine companion, what more can you want? Brooke does a great job of having you feeling like you’re also on this journey of rediscovering yourself and remembering there’s always second chances.

Gritty, Dark, and Surprisingly Heartfelt

Healers: A Novel took me on an emotional and unexpected journey through redemption, guilt, and what it means to heal—not just others, but yourself. I liked most was the raw, unfiltered voice of Dr. Scott Weaver, whose sarcasm and self-loathing made him deeply human, even in death. Scott’s journey is messy, painful, and real—and that's what makes it so memorable. I couldn’t put it down.
