About this book

Ava is a healer with a guarded heart and a sharp tongue, determined to outrun a traumatic past that refuses to stay buried. She has spent her life carving out an independent path, one that pointedly excludes Bryce, the formidable alpha of the Phoenix pack. But in the world of shifter romance, fate rarely bows to human stubbornness. When Bryce finally decides that his patience for her distance has run out, he moves to claim his fated mate, only for Ava to vanish into thin air.

What follows is a pulse-pounding, high-stakes rescue mission that forces both characters to confront their deepest fears. As dangerous enemies from the past resurface to threaten everything they hold dear, the slow-burn tension between this reluctant pair reaches a boiling point. Bryce is prepared to burn the world down to bring her home, but Ava must first face the darkness encroaching on her pack and her own soul.

This installment of the series masterfully blends intense pack dynamics with a gripping enemies-to-lovers narrative. It is the perfect pick for readers who crave protective, alpha-hero energy mixed with a strong, resilient heroine. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotion in this captivating paranormal read.

A sweet clean shifter romance!

March 25, 2025

Healer’s reckoning is a clean shifter romance. I have enjoyed all of A.J. Manney’s books especially her shifter books. I was excited to see where the author was going to take to these characters and plot. Let’s just say I was not disappointed. What a fun read. I was so happy with the growth of Ava’s character and Bryce’s love and patience. This book has the touch her and die trope, my favorite!

So good!

I love Ava and Bryce's story so good! Such a rollercoaster! And I didn't think I would like Ava, because she was so closed off before, but oh my goodness, she's another girl to wanna be besties with! Her and Bryce's is a great one! Definitely recommend! )

Bryce is chasing his healer mate Ava, but she's caught by vampires again. But this time she's fitting for her life and her brother life. This is book 3 in this great series, looking forward to reading the next book. )

I have read through all the Northwoods pack and through the Healers series to this one (can’t wait for the next book in December). I have really enjoyed the story line this entire time. Thanks for writing such wonderful female characters and their sometimes grumpy protective mates. Anyone looking for a good read and a really cohesive storyline needs to try these books out. ) One person found this helpful
