THE DARK HEALER (Book 2)


The Dark Healer (Book 2) by Alex Toxic and Nadya Lee
Book 2 in The Dark Healer series
Narrated by Christopher P. Brown
Genre: urban progression fantasy
Format: ebook & audiobookAudiobook


A clan of healers?! Was that even a thing?

People thought we were weak and incapable of defending ourselves and our property. Those who wished to do harm swooped down on the clan like vultures.

And that was a good thing! More enemies meant more harvest, and more material for my experiments.

My Thoughts:
This book picked up just where the first book left off.

I have noticed it in book 1 but I ignored it. However, here it is again. The series requires the reader to dumb down to continue enjoying the book. Max's power fries electronics like mobile phones and car engines. But when Max was abducted by the organ harvesting conspiracy the van worked just fine. I explained this to myself that perhaps at this point Max has already attained the ability to control his power enough to fry or not fry the engines he wants... Very flimsy excuse when you read on... Fingers crossed this reader dumbing down feature of the series won't get to be so irksome.

This is the book that Harry and Archie appeared. I am wondering how they would pan out in the story....

Christopher P. Brown did a better job this time. Or is it just because I am getting used to him?

Meet The Authors

About Nadya Lee:
Ever since she was a little girl, Nadya Lee knew exactly what she wanted to be: either a President, a singer, or an author.

The first option just didn’t work out for some reason

The second option eventually became her hobby. Nadya still loves singing and does it at every opportunity, accompanying herself on a guitar.

Likewise, writing remained her hobby for quite a while. Nadya wrote poems, articles and even fanfics, keeping an occasional blog on various subjects including book reviews. Books and video games have always been an important part of her life.

Then one day she just woke up in the morning and decided she’d procrastinated enough. Time to put pen to paper.

So here she is, hoping that her audience might enjoy reading her books just as much as she enjoys writing them.


About Alex Toxic:
Alex Toxic was born in 1978. He liked reading and playing video games from childhood. These two hobbies found ideal common ground when the LitRPG genre arrived.

Alex dreamed of becoming an author but the profession seemed just too complicated to him. So he began working first as a journalist, then as a TV anchor and then as a documentary filmmaker.

There came a point when Alex had run out of books he wanted to read. The authors simply couldn’t write new ones fast enough. The only way out was to write a book of his own. That’s how he launched into the passion that would with time become his primary profession.

Alex believes that the most important thing in a book is its main character. He or she has to be strong and unrelenting in the face of whatever challenge arises in their path, and they must always triumph.
