I truly love Arkadia and wish it was a place that I could not only visit but live in.  And with Alanea Alder’s Fated Healing my desire has not abated one wit.  Words really can’t express just how much I enjoyed my latest visit to Arkadia.  The town is under siege and it is all hands on deck.  I was impressed, yet again, with how this town pulls together in both joy and sorrow.  They don’t allow anyone to feel left out and that feeling extends to the reader.Felix was a breath of fresh air.  His past was dismal but he was more than his outlandish nature would suggest.  One moment he would have you chuckling away at either a comment or thought and the next moment he is standing up for his mate, no one would be allowed to heap their angst and fear upon the one fated to be his without him taking a large chunk out of them.  I could do no more than be impressed by his loyalty, courage and humor.  And if anyone needed someone to help them loosen up a bit it was Claybourne.  While he was definitely a fuddy duddy, I was pleasantly surprised by the moments when he stepped outside of his rigidness.Fear was pervasive throughout town and Ms. Alder grabbed the reader by throat as they feared along with the townspeople.  I laughed, I cried, I felt the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows right along with the town.  Ms. Alder gave us a story that was so well written that I felt each emotion right along with them.  My emotions seesawed as I read with bated breath to see if the town would win this latest battle.  I thoroughly enjoyed feeling like I was one of the Kindred of Arkadia and look forward to returning to my home away from home.five shooting stars and a Recommended Read
