Dr. Scott Weaver, a snarky middle-aged dead man with a gift, hates his job. After committing suicide when one of his patients dies on the table, Scott wakes to find himself stuck in his own personal purgatory—where he can only leave if he works as a "Healer" to save all the poor citizens of the corrupt Blister City. But one night on the job, he is unable to heal an old friend. Filled with the guilt, Scott travels down a dark path filled with gritty strip clubs and rundown bars.
Doomed to remain stuck in his world forever, Scott is sent Malakai, a canine companion from above with just as much attitude as him. With his time in purgatory coming to an end, Malakai steers Scott is on the right path to gain redemption. But when Scott's powers fail him again, he battles with self doubt and wonders if he healed the wrong man.
He is soon faced with a devastating choice: make one last heal and redeem himself from his own personal hell, or commit the ultimate sin to condemn himself in order to save countless souls from a fate worse than death.

Scott’s struggles with guilt, failure, and self-doubt felt very real. For some reason, I found myself not empathizing with Malakai, but at least he brings a surprising amount of humor to the otherwise dark story, sometimes feeling like a movie. If you liked City of Angels, Touched by an Angel, A gifted man, or Sin City, this audiobook feels like a blend of those, enriched by the author’s great sense of scene-writing.
This story doesn’t always make you reflect deeply; sometimes, it simply makes you cry.
One of those necessary, beautifully sad stories

What I especially enjoyed was the unique premise—being stuck in purgatory and forced to heal others as a path to redemption felt fresh and thought-provoking. The dynamic between Scott and his canine companion Malakai added a great balance of humor and heart. The tension builds beautifully toward the devastating choice Scott faces, making the climax both powerful and memorable.
Overall, Healers is a compelling listen for anyone who enjoys supernatural thrillers with complex characters and moral dilemmas. It’s a dark, entertaining ride that left me reflecting on redemption and sacrifice long after the last chapter. Highly recommended!
Great book!

The pacing slows a bit in the middle, and some of Scott’s internal monologues can feel repetitive, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5. But the emotional weight of Scott’s choices, the moral complexity, and the ultimate message about redemption and purpose are powerful. If you’re into morally gray characters, gritty afterlife tales, and redemption arcs with bite (and a dog with serious sass), Healers is definitely worth the listen.
