Prospera Pass is the third and final book in the Phoenix Series by Kimberly Packard. This series has been quite an exhilarating ride from beginning to end. The three books contain a continuing storyline, so it is necessary to read all the books in sequence, to fully appreciate the story and characters.  This book/series is full of suspense, action, adventure, drama, danger, mystery, tension, twists, surprising developments, a Drug Lord, Cartels, revenge, murder, violence, romance, and sooo much more. I became addicted to the series back in book one, and through the three books Ms. Packard has kept me completely engrossed in what was happening- had me reading along trying to imagine where the storyline was going and what would happen next. I was kept guessing by the unpredictable tale, and was held in complete anticipation- right on the edge of my seat, the whole way through.

I admit that I had a lot of expectation for this book, I had so many questions that needed answers, and knowing this would be the finale I was anxious to find out what happens. I am happy to say that this book is every bit as good as the other two- Ms. Packard certainly delivered everything I was hoping for, and more. I zipped through the book in one sitting and loved it!!! I got to the end and didn’t want it to end, I wanted there to be more story- more about the next phase of the characters’ lives (see what I did there ?  no spoilers from me, you will just have to read the book to find out who makes it through to the end). I hope that the blossoming romance between two of the secondary characters at the end of this book means that they may get their own story/book. Fingers crossed!!!

This is such a well thought out, intricately woven story full of inter-connected details that showcase just how brilliant a storyteller (and writer) Ms. Packard really is! The story is complex and multi-layered, which the author orchestrated masterfully. It had a great pace and a smooth flow. The story is told from several POV’s which added a lot of interest and gave the story more depth, drama, and intrigue.

I am sad that this series is now concluded, but my mind is whirling with the possibilities of what Ms. Packard will produce next. I really can’t wait to get my hands on her next book!

A fantastic read!!!!

Thank you, Ms. Packard!
