A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Kate
Not having read anything by this author before, I was pleasantly surprised when I read All Wounds by Dina James. The reader is immediately immersed in the life of Rebecca MacDonnell, a sixteen year old outcast, with only one friend and overwhelming responsibility. We follow her transformation from a nobody into so much more. The characters pulled me in from page one and I was fully vested in the outcome. With werewolves, vampires, hellhounds and all sorts of other creatures, the story kept me on my toes and wanting more. I did not want to put it down and will definitely read book two coming out in late 2012.

Book Blurb for All Wounds
It's said that when opportunity knocks on your door, you have only one chance to take it. No one said what you're supposed to do when it kicks it. All Rebecca MacDonnell wants to do is get through high school with grades good enough to win a prestigious scholarship so that she can finally leave her miserable life behind. One evening, after a particularly bad day, she finds out that people other than her aging grandmother need her help, and desperately so. Well, not "people," exactly. Vampires, werewolves, demons, ghosts, goblins, and other things thought only imaginary all need help sometime, and Rebecca was born with the unique ability to heal ethereal beings. She is about to turn seventeen, the age at which her talent will manifest in its entirety, and become a true Healer.if she lives through the event. A war between various ethereal factions is brewing, and Healers are a valuable commodity to any side. Those who wish to harness Rebecca's manifesting healing powers for their own purposes must get to her before her seventeenth birthday. Only two vampires and a rogue werewolf stand between Rebecca and those determined to make her serve them, and the fact that Rebecca has no clue what she's doing doesn't exactly help matters. Neither does being seriously attracted to more than one of those just trying to protect her. For a soon-to-be seventeen-year-old Healer-in-training, that's a lot to handle. Especially on top of her homework.
