About this ebook

They team up to find a healer, but the truth could tear them apart.

After six quiet months, the Wilcox clan’s witch-finding software finally gets a ping. The article is cloaked in careful, journalistic neutrality, but Laurel Wilcox knows a solid lead when she sees one.

Soon Laurel’s headed for Lake Tahoe to hunt for a healer who mysteriously appears when he’s needed, then disappears into the forest. She hopes she won't screw up her first solo mission — and betray her clan’s trust. Which is why it’s the worst possible time to be attracted to a handsome, non-witch civilian.

Jason Ludlow’s dual abilities of altering his appearance and hiding his spark of magic from other witch-kind make him ideally suited to hunt for the elusive healer his clan desperately needs. He never expected to meet another witch — a distractingly pretty Wilcox witch — on the same mission.

Both hiding their motives behind white lies, Laurel and Jason team up to find the healer…and give in to an attraction that’s both comfortable and sensually intense. But their idyll can’t last. When the truth comes out, they could lose everything…their clans’ trust, their mission, and each other.

Ratings and reviews

Healing Hands Book 7 Witches of Wheeler Park If you have been a devoted Christine Pope reader, you will have to agree that Ms. Pope has an inexhaustible imagination! In healing hands Laurel, after tedious searches for an orphaned witch, suddenly sees an article claiming a woman in the Tahoe area was “magically” healed when hiking. This compelling knowledge ignites her pressing need to go to California and check it out. Although her techie cousins are hardly enthusiastic about this adventure, Conner is okay with it. Plus, she gets clearance from the Prima of the Delmonicos, who offers her very comfortable lodging in the high rent rent community on the shores of the beautiful lake. What more can a girl ask for? Upon arriving Laurel Wilcox shares lunch with a fabulously handsome civilian, Jason, and so it begins! Having to be done in time to be back in Flagstaff for Addie and Jake’s wedding, being that she was to be the maid of honor she has to make the most of her time. As is the case in most of Pope’s previous witchy tales, nothing is as it seems. We spend and fast paced week with the Wilcox witch and her heart stopping cohort, interviewing several women who had apparently experienced miraculous healing by a very friendly healer that miraculously appeared just when they needed it most. Little white lies necessary to hide the truths Laurel and Jason must protect, adds to the unexpected culmination of the story. In addition the Escobar escapade is cleverly interwoven in the laying out of the plot. This was a quick read for me, as I read it in one day. Its another thumbs up for Christine!

This is a review of Healing Hands by Christine Pope, the 7th book in the Witches of Wheeler Park series. I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Note: this review contains Spoilers! You would think that the life of a witch or warlock would be easy: special talents, big families, money. Talents you don’t want to use or be forced into using, family members spying on everything that you do, and even with all that money, there’s nowhere to go. Laurel Wilcox Is bored. She is helping her cousins find “lost” witches and warlocks: ones who were orphaned or for some other reason never told what they were. There hasn’t been a hit in 8 months when Laurel sees a short story about a hiker who was healed when a man touched her broken leg. Afterward he just disappeared. Thus begins our story and the hunt. Laurel, the healer who doesn’t want to be one, is going to try and find a healer who doesn’t want to be found. And Jason Ludlow, the warlock who doesn’t want to use his special talents, is sent on a mission where he must use his talents or be found out. The funny thing about hunts and missions is that they never turn out like they are supposed to. It doesn’t matter how much you plan, something always comes up that you hadn’t thought of. Like soul mates and falling in love and finding you knew the right answer all along. Christine Pope has turned out another wonderful book full of characters you want to meet and places you want to go. Thank you! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Christine Pope’s “Healing Hands” The Witches of Wheeler Park Book 7 is just another amazing pursuit by the Wilcox Clan of orphan witches and/or warlocks so they can be placed with the clan they really belong. So, when Laura Wilcox learns that there was a rogue healer in Lake Tahoe, she goes on a mission to find him. This quest leads her to join up with a non-witch civilian. Jason Ludlow a warlock who can alter his appearance is also looking for this warlock healer. The combination of Laurel’s and Jason intentions to seek the mysterious healer leads them to not only to an elusive adventure but a mutual attractiveness for each other. This is a standalone and not necessarily a cliff hanger but yet at the end it leaves you wondering about this couple. Can’t wait for the next book and recommend this one highly along with all the others in the series.
