Panic

Dark Light #3

by D.J. Hoskins

Alex is beaten.
Melissa is ambushed.
Where do they go from here?

Don’t let go. They aren’t ready.

Alex is a coward and ignorance is all he knows. On him, Kaiga does not hold back. Information floods him and his mind is pressed for answers, does he have the one they seek? Or will he be deemed worthless?
Sheltered in a world that only knows restriction, Melissa has battles brought to her. Victashia has been waiting. It has been a hundred years since Kaiga has launched full war and their enemy is in no mood to let their prime weapon mature. Seemingly assaulted out of nowhere by a full-fledged adversary, Melissa is brought to face a test of her abilities. 

Will she live, or will she fall?


The plot heats up in the sequel to PARAGON. A nonstop rush of action, PARALYSIS barely leaves you hanging on. Intricate in fantastic detail, the world expands and magic is explained. Conflicts spark throughout in a ride that doesn't end once it really starts.

Absolutely full of surprises in each page. You wonder each time what will happen next. Although short, outstanding from the first page to the end.

What if your only salvation betrayed you?

That's pretty much what you think right from the start... Like "wait......... That was the hero...... Right?" This chapter of the series makes you question what you know and what you learned from the two books before, and here you see a thickening of the plot that was, up until now, a bit linear and somehow predictable at times.

I love how Alex developed here, how he grew and at the same time I didn't expect him to be so full of himself! As to Melissa, the fact that Shadow now as more influence was a surprise, specially the kind of influence he has, nothing before pointed to this, but in my opinion, right now, she is the voice of morality for me! Kind switched places with Alex in some way!

Again, the story evolves a lot and changes a lot, but I still feel like it could be one book with these three chapters, since only this one has the cliffhanger that justifies breaking the book (even if just slightly).

Thank to the author for contacting me and giving me the opportunity to read and review this amazing adventure!!

This book was freely given to be by the author through BookSirens in exchange for an honest review!

This is book three in the Dark Light Series. The action springs out of the gate like a stampede of frightened ungulates. This authors action scenes are cool, clear descriptions of powerful beings wielding titanic forces. D J Hoskins has an ability to write action scenes that rivals the best of their fellow authors. When you set the action in the world they build to contain them it immerses the reader into the book. The characters from the previous books Paragon and Paralysis continue to grow and mature in a natural manner. I highly recommend this book to all readers my only caveat is that the series be read in the order intended.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book was so action-packed. My thoughts came true during the reveals from the previous stories. Both Alex and Melissa end up being like whole new characters, but a lot happens to shape them. There was a strong ending, action-wise, but I feel that it left a lot of speculation as to what will happen to the pair of main characters. I hope there is more to come with this series.

I was excited to read this installment in the series. About a third of the way into the book all my previous expectations were thrown wildly aside. Soon it became chasing after plot twists along with break-neck action. I am pleased to report that the last two thirds flew by and I am eagerly awaiting the continuation of the story.

Plenty of surprises in this book and I liked how the main characters finally join up. Totally had no idea where the story was heading but it was quite the ride. Can't wait to see what's going to happen next.

[Johan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it, fast paced from the start of the book. The plot twist are unexpected and also great.

If you haven't read Paralysis for a while, I suggest you read it again, just to recap before you read Panic.

The forces are at war and the mages are discovering their powers and abilities. Interesting and easy to read. Very entertaining!
I downloaded a free copy of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Panic: A Sci-Fi Fantasy Thriller (Dark Light Series Book 3), my third read from author D.J. Hoskins, an author I'd not heard of before reading Paragon (Dark Light, #1) & Paralysis (Dark Light, #2). I'm not a particular fan of sci-fic. Personally, I prefer mystery and thrillers. Still, I look forward to more from this author. I received a free Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
