Review: Heal Me (A Touched Trilogy #2) by Angela Fristoe



Book Blurb

What happens when the one person Lily can't heal is herself?

Lily's sisters think her ability to heal the pain of others is easy compared to their truth telling and future seeing gifts. Who wouldn't love to heal people with a simple touch? But all of that pain and suffering has to go somewhere, and Lily's the one taking it all in.

When someone close to her dies, Lily's life spins out of control. She clings to her best friend Micah, trying to feel something other than the suffocating emptiness that threatens to consume her, but what started as friendship morphs in to something much more. As Lily begins to fall for Micah, she realizes that while healing others is easy, healing herself is much harder.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Angela Fristoe comes an emotionally touching trilogy for teens. Heal Me is the second standalone novel in A Touched Trilogy and is the perfect read for Young Adult fans of contemporary romance with a splash of the paranormal.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Lily has the ability to heal people.  She absorbs the negative feelings someone has and takes them into herself.  She has this compulsion to help.  It is now her senior year and she is tired.  It has taken more and more energy to heal Dylan, her boyfriend.  She knows something is really wrong that she doesn’t know what to do for him.  It is completely draining to be around him.  She decides it is time to break up.
She follows her thoughts and feelings, actually telling Dylan good-bye.  She never thinks it will turn out the way it does.  Her world crashes and she doesn’t want to feel or think.  She looks elsewhere for what she believes she needs.  She finds it in new student Micah.  He is more than he seems and his life is surprising.  Lily craves his company.  However, her feelings grow stronger as Micah refuses to give her what she wants.
Again, she finds herself fighting to protect herself from the pain she endures as she searches for herself and discovers what she really wants.
The first book in this series was pretty good.  However, this one was better.  There is so much raw emotion going on that it hits you hard.  I actually cried while reading what Lily went through.  It’s darker than the first and the author brings up some more grown up themes.  It drew you in and didn’t let you go until the end.

I felt sorry for Lily.  Her sisters are a mess, so she can’t really confide in them.  The boys in this book are ridiculous and you just want to smack them.  Th only sane one in my mind is Owen.  He had a pretty good perspective about things.  I liked how he treated Lily and made her really think about what she was doing and how she really felt herself.  She traveled a really rough road in this story but learned more than she probably would’ve otherwise.  A great read.  I give it a 5 out of 5.
