Publisher's Summary

Annamaria Gabor can kill with a whisper and a touch. Her victims never realize she’s given them a deadly disease. The cops will never arrest her. No jury will ever convict her. And no one can stop her - no one except her brother.

Luke Johnson can heal by touch. He works as a night janitor in hospitals and nursing homes, healing patients as discretely as he can. Once people notice his work, he moves on to the next city - before the hired assassins arrive.

Luke is a hunted man. His sister wants him dead because he knows her deepest secret. And she has big plans for her future only he can destroy.

Health Versus Sickness

Luke works at a hospital as a janitor, but he’s no ordinary janitor. He has a power. With it, he can heal people by touch alone, and he has a knack for healing those close to death. One day though, those powers get him caught by a nurse. He knows it’s time to move on because staying in place could help his sister find him. The one who wishes to kill him. His sister is gifted too, but unlike him, her gifts help her to destroy.

I loved the good versus evil struggle throughout the story. Especially where it contrasts in Luke and Annamaria (his sister). Where Luke is good, she is evil. In a lot of paranormal stories, there are superheroes who are able to heal, but not very many villains who can whisper an illness and set it into motion. I thought that was an interesting touch. Plenty of twists and turns throughout the story.

T.F. Allen has a way of building up the characters and the world before diving into the action, and I love that. I’ve only read one other book by this author, but I can say that I will keep an eye out for books by them in the future.

The narrator did a fantastic job as well.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

The Night Janitor

I enjoyed this book.One sibling is good the other bad and the world suffers.What a story! B.J. Harrison was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

Nothing like a little bit of sibling rivalry to turn the world upside down!

I liked the story and the plot. The delivery, world building, and characters (themselves, relationships, intersections) were weak.

The romance was a complete misfit. It also conflicted with the nurse’s personality; one minute she’s procedure/policy and literally five minutes later, she throws caution to the wind to pursue something she doesn’t understand and isn’t explained to her - and no, she isn’t kidnapped. On the contrary, she pushes herself in the passenger seat. Umm. Although she’s driving, so anyway. I truly disliked her. She’s a cliche who didn’t work. Was she a last minute thought because Luke didn’t have a commanding personality.

As far as I know, TMC and MD Anderson are different entities. I’m not sure how or why our nurse, who works at TMC, is able to have a booth at a MD Anderson event, like the next day....? Timing is definitely off - or very unbelievable.

The presidential campaign also makes the book imbalanced, time wise. There’s more telling than showing, probably because this is trying to be conveyed as an action thriller boom-boom-boom than fleshing out characters, details, and connections.

I think if this was handled differently, it would blow itself on the top seller list and T F Allen would be a household name. As it stands, some will love it, most will like it, and others would forget it.

It is a three star, because it’s above decent and it’s not a waste of time, but it leaves the reader wanting more and better. The writing is good, but the story and characters deserve more attention and substance.

Engrossing Paranormal Story

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.

Here, Luke Johnson works as the night janitor at the hospital. Luke has a special power to heal by touch and as he works he will heal those who are very sick or dying. When Luke's abilities create too much attention, he just moves on. At his current job, he touches a patient and is caught by a nurse. Luke knows that he needs to move on because his sister, Annamaria, is trying to find him to kill him. She also has a special ability to kill by simply whispering a disease and then touching her target. Annamaria has tracked down their father and used her powers to kill him. The father tracks down a 
Youtuber to record his story - and he confesses the special abilities
of his children. Now Luke is being tracked not only by his sister but by the Youtuber. Can he outwit everyone and stay alive?

This is a classic good v. evil battle. Both Luke and Annamaria are really well developed in a unique story. It will certainly make you think about how you would wield these unique powers - and the burden that comes with it. This is an engrossing story with twists which keep you glued to the story. This is my second book by this author and really enjoyed it.

I listened to this story - The narrator was great and complimented the written word with his narration. I can still hear the slightly creepy whisper of a disease by Annamaria as she killed people. Well done.

Wow. Hard to put down.

I usually listen to audio books just to pass time while driving but I couldn't put this one down and had to interrupt my "normal" routine to finish this one. Great story, Mr. Allen.

Couldn’t put this one down!

This book had be from the first chapter! It was very well written and the narrator did a great job with this book. It was suspenseful and had me guessing what would happen at every chapter. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in suspense and the super natural.
