Healing Kiss by Amanda Uhl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lillian Milano, who goes by Zoey, siphons energy from the healthy and gives it to the sick to heal them. An organization called Kinetica used her mother who had the same healing powers until she died. Knowing this, Lillian decides to leave her home and live on the run. She gets news that her sister is ill and she risks coming home to save her.

Lillian’s sister seems to be too far gone for her to heal her without help. When she meets Tristan, he has loads of energy to spare. Lillian approaches him and asks for his help. He has to visit her sister in the hospital for an hour or two and Lillian would be his date for an upcoming fundraiser.

Unfortunately, Tristan is too curious for his own good. He keeps getting suspicious of Lillians answers and reactions. He starts looking into her closely. Meanwhile Lillian is freaking out, scared she will be found by Kinetica if she isn’t careful. It doesn’t help that the couple has this fiery chemistry between them.

If Lillian is exposed, it could mean disaster for her family and for Tristan if he doesn’t stop digging around Lillian’s past but how can she walk away when she has never felt this way about anyone before?

I enjoyed this book. It was suspenseful with a romantic element and a hint of supernatural abilities. Lillian was so exhausted from everything. She just wants to give up but sheer determination keeps her going. I really respected that about her. The author did a really fine job implementing different emotions. I found myself egging Lillian on, hoping she can finally stop running. I thought Tristan was a little too headstrong but it was what Lillian needed to finally start tearing down some walls.
