The Light of Wounds: Vol 3 The Mind Monsters by Diane Hatz

A supernatural thriller of trauma, resilience, and the battle for the soul.

Alex is drowning—literally and figuratively. At forty-five, she’s spent a lifetime haunted by trauma, betrayal, and the ghosts of her past. As she struggles toward the banks of Sedona’s Oak Creek after a near-death experience, she faces a terrifying realization: the fight for her life is far from over.

Dark forces are gathering. An out-of-control billionaire is severing the bond between humans and their spirit guides, feeding a darkness that threatens to tear reality apart. Caught between the spiritual resistance network and sinister forces seeking ultimate control, Alex must make a terrifying choice—confront her inner demons or risk becoming a pawn in the destruction of the universe.

As her past collides with the supernatural, Alex embarks on a perilous journey of self-discovery, fighting not just for survival, but for a future she never believed she deserved. The deeper she goes, the more the darkness calls—and this time, it might not let her go.

Perfect for fans of contemporary low fantasy, paranormal thrillers, and contemporary women's and visionary fiction, The Light of Wounds is a gripping story of redemption, resilience, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.

✔️ Paranormal suspense with deep psychological twists
✔️ A strong but wounded heroine battling supernatural forces
✔️ A thought-provoking journey of trauma, healing, and self-discovery

“The author is funny, creative, and spiritual….Highest-of-stakes fantasy thriller series…This series is set up to have one explosive finale. Oh, what big things are coming in book four!” - Independent Book Review

”This is a well-crafted and emotionally layered novel…a richly descriptive and steadily paced supernatural thriller that blends dark fantasy, spiritual tension, and emotional depth. It’s imaginative, thought-provoking, and peppered with touches of dry humour that lighten the tone without undermining the stakes.

If you’re looking for a smart, emotionally charged fantasy thriller with heart, humour, and a unique voice, The Light of Wounds is a rewarding read.”  - International Review of Books
