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!

I have been completely swept away with this Phoenix Series from Kimberly Packard. She was a new author to me when I picked up book one Phoenix, and I have been such a huge fan ever since. I am sad to see this series wrap up and to finish the journey with Mandy and her whole gang of characters that join her on this journey. It was bittersweet to say goodbye to her, but I look forward to finding out what else Kimberly Packard has in the works for the very near future. I have to brag because I have a signed set of this series and it has been such a favorite this year. I wish I could give this more than five stars. It is binge reading material, for a future cold winter day for me, and I am confident that you too will develop this same love I have for it.
Do NOT read these out of order, go back, read book one Phoenix, and then pick up Pardon Falls while you are at it. These novels pick up right where each leaves off and the story will be completely blown for you if you don’t read them in the order they were released. Aside from telling you to read these in order and a brief synopsis, I can’t bear to share much more. Too many things just become spoilers for this series.
These books have been an interesting and different look at a coming of age type concept. Amanda has a renewed purpose in life and longs for seeking to accomplish said purpose, (Not giving details you will thank me later!) She takes a journey with David and Fallon to get to where we are in Prospera Pass. Amanda stays strong to make sure that she can reach said desired outcome. Will they overcome whatever dangers come their way? How will Mandy figure out who she is and how will she manage her relationships with Fallon and David? Is there a budding future spin-off in the works?
Thank you for writing such a wonderful and multi-layered story about, angst, love, guilt, revenge, and so much more, Kimberly Packard. This was flawless, and I can’t believe that it is over. I can only hope whatever you have brewing will be coming soon, because I am in a serious book hangover now! I am lucky though, I am going to dive into The Crazy Yates, an available novel from Kimberly Packard that I have not yet devoured! Enjoy!

Prospera Pass (The Phoenix Series Book 3) by Kimberly Packard
5 Stars
Where do I even begin writing a review for this book?! This whole series has completely messed with my mind, but this, the last of the series has been no doubt my favorite and my least favorite all at the same time. So much going on and I want to say so much but know that I can't because so many of my thoughts wrap around things that will spoil the whole series if I go into anything.
I absolutely loved this series, it had me wrapped from page 1 of book 1 till the last word of book 3, I hate that it's over especially because Im left with wanting so so much more, and although I can use my imagination on many things I am praying that although she has that this is the conclusion that just maybe there will be even just a novella to follow. I truly feel like there is much more to this story that could be told.
There is no doubt in my mind that no one in any book I've ever read deserves happiness and peace more than Amanda, my heart was all over the place with her, and this author has a talent with words and her building of characters that is beyond impressive..I felt many times like I was standing right there watching all of this unfold, I had very vivid pictures in my mind of every scene and I just hate that it's over…
I will be stalking this author from this day on, I will absolutely be reading anything and everything she comes out with.
Do not even try to read these books out of order...you need the entire picture to understand..Trust me on this..
This goes on my list as one of those books/series that deserve much more than 5 stars and I can't wait to reread this back to back on a rainy weekend!!
Amazingly Awesome!!

Prospera Pass (The Phoenix Series Book 3)
By: Kimberly Packard
5 out of 5 stars
The story Prospera Pass (The Phoenix Series Book 3) by Kimberly Packard is a thrilling book. It is the last story in a trilogy that at many times left me breathless when reading. It includes action, danger, and suspense which will have you on the edge of your seat and wondering what is going to happen next. I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. It includes the stories of characters that I have grown to love and care about what happens to them. Emotions run high in this story. There are feelings of guilt, self-loathing, love, revenge, hope, and the need to protect. The characters show a spirit of self-sacrifice and a need for justice to be done. Be ready to take the next step of the journey that includes Amanda, David, and Fallon. I loved reading about these three. Amanda is a strong woman who had a purpose that started 18 months ago. The events that have happened to her are not what she expected. David is a man that has hope and won’t let it go. Fallon is a woman whose life is law enforcement. What will happen when she is asked to look the other way? There are other characters that are brought forward from the first two books and also others that you are introduced to. They all have their part to play in this story and I enjoyed reading about them and their interactions with Amanda, David, and Fallon. Some of them have their own agenda which spells out danger. Will their plans succeed? The suspense and danger in this story had me wondering who would be standing in the end. I highly recommend reading the series in order to fully understand what is going on in each book. This is a well-written page-turner that you don’t want to miss out on.

Prospers Pass (Phoenix Series book3) By Kimberly Packard 5 Stars!
This is the final installment of the Phoenix series. If you haven't read the first two books, stop and read them now! This book picks up where book two ends. This review may contain spoilers from the first two books. I can't say enough about this series. This is a great conclusion to the story. In this book, the reader learns more about each character. It also shows the change in Josh from before getting caught embezzling to now. I love the way we get a glimpse into the characters inner turmoil, thoughts, and emotions. This story introduced a few new characters that I fell in love with instantly! Joaquin was there for Mandy and protected her while she was healing. He is a good guy and just wants what is best for his country, starting with taking down Vargus. Along with the new characters is a deeper understanding of Mandy, David, and Fallon. I wanted to hate Fallon, but it was impossible. After everything that is revealed about the characters, I felt like I was able to get to know all of them on a personal basis. This book keeps the reader on the edge. With all the suspense, mystery, love, and danger presented in this story I couldn't put it down! The ending was perfect and I am a little sad to leave these characters, although this story will be with me for a while. Throughout the series, I really enjoyed getting to know them. This book brought out even more emotions than the first two books.
I would highly recommended this series to any reader who enjoys an action packed and emotional story. This book has everything a reader could ask for. It is well written and has characters that leave the reader wanting more

Prospera Pass is the third and final book in Kimberly Packard’s thrilling Phoenix trilogy. It brings to a conclusion Amanda’s quest for justice and redemption after getting caught up in her partner Josh’s corporate crime. Along the way, she has found herself pitted against Vargas, the leader of a powerful drug cartel in Mexico.
At the start of this book, Amanda is gradually recovering from the events of the previous book, and feigning amnesia to avoid having to deal with her past. She is cared for by a priest, Joaquim, who is eager to help her remember who she is.
The story is fast-paced and the narrative switches between different characters, including FBI agent Fallon Weatherby, so the reader is often left in suspense with aspects of the story unable to resolve until we switch back to that character again. I found it nearly impossible to put the book down as I needed to know what would happen and whether the characters I have grown attached to would survive.
The book is quite violent and there is a bit of gore at times, including amputations. This isn’t described in too much detail. There are also discussions of addiction and substance abuse.
I give this book four out of five stars. Although it’s really not the sort of thing I’d usually read, I was hooked from book 1 and had to see the story to its conclusion. It’s well written and totally engrossing. It’s definitely worth starting from the first book, Phoenix, to get the full background to the story.

Prospera Pass by Kimberly Packard is the third book in her Phoenix Series. This series does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters and events throughout.
Amanda’s life has been nothing but vengeance for the last eighteen months. She has done nothing but try to bring her ex-boyfriend to justice. And in doing so it has cost her what little she had left. Josh has vanished and David is presumed dead, Amanda is finally ready to try and move forward, to forget everything that has happened. But when an unexpected visitor arrives Amanda might not be able to do that.
New alliances are formed and old enemies re-emerge. Amanda finds herself finishing the journey that she started so long ago. Will she make it to the end? And will the end be what she thought it would be initially?
This is the conclusion to a brilliant trilogy. The arc of this story throughout the three books has never once diminished, always keeping you hooked and wanting to know what was going to happen. It has been great to visit these characters again in this book to see how their journey continues and where they all end up. All the way through I have been excited to see what happens and I was not disappointed with this story at all. This series is well worth your time.

Prospera Pass (The Phoenix Series Book 3) By Kimberly Packard. This story brings it all to a close and it literally blew me away. You definitely need to read these books in order to fully understand and enjoy the journey. Once again we are dragged into a story world that feels more like reality than a book. The author spends a great deal of time making sure every detail in this story is amazing. It plays out before your eyes. The storyline is filled with suspense, twists, mystery, romance and action. It’s definitely got a little of something for everyone. The characters are absolutely incredible each one brings exactly what readers are wanting and looking for. Amanda was probably by far my favorite just because she’s a character that grabbed my attention without even trying. I was completely hooked from page one and couldn’t put it down until the last page. This entire series can mess with your mind and keeps you on the edge of your seat. It’s quite the ride watching all these characters grow and shape in your mind. If I could give more than five stars I would. I’ll be adding these to my read again list for sure. I highly recommend this series and I can’t wait to see what the author comes out with next.

“Prospera Pass” is the third book in the gripping Phoenix series by Kimberly Packard and oh boy was it a good one! Make sure to read the first two books before diving in, there is a lot of story you will want to be familiar with! Mandy has been through hell in the past year and wakes up in a Mexican hospital after her daring escape at the end of “Pardon Falls.” A kind priest named Father Joaquin has been looking over her and trying to help her regain the memory she told the hospital she lost. She knows she isn’t safe to tell her story as the dangerous drug lord Rafael Vargas could still be after her. I don’t want to give too much of the good bits away but it’ll take everything in Mandy to do what needs to be done in this series ending story. I truly loved this series, the scenery and the characters, all of it. Kimberly Packard really has a way with words that made me fly through this book in no time! I couldn’t put it down and the ending was so intense my heart was pounding! While I’m sad the Phoenix series is over, I can’t wait to see what Kimberly Packard writes next! So, I obviously give “Prospera Pass” five stars!!

Prospera Pass was a great 5 star read and is the third and final book in the Phoenix series.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed reading this series. Kimberly Packard does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. You definitely need to read the first two books before this one it will help you understand the story and the characters.
We start where book two left off, Amanda is recovering and has amnesia, or does she? She is being cared for at a hospital for her injuries. She doesn’t realize that David survived the river. And Josh has also survived but is in a not so great situation, but maybe it's a little bit of karma. We continue to get alternate POV’s which I love so I can see what everyone else is thinking.
Amanda is determined to take care of things and get justice she was a great strong character with determination. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. I had so many different emotions while reading. You get suspense, action, twists and turns and there may be some scenes that may make you feel a little squeamish. If your looking for a great series that pulls you right in from the beginning, 1-click and get started today.

by Kimberly Packard
5 Stars
Prospera Pass by Kimberly Packard is the third and last installment of the Phoenix Series. I have been waiting for this book to come out since I finished the second book and was left hoping this book would be released soon. This story is full of suspense, action and angst between the characters current, dangerous situation that it will keep you on the edge of your seat. Amanda is broken, literally, after jumping into the Rio Grande and surviving her injuries. Not aware of David and Josh’s whereabouts, she is determined to find out if Josh and David are still alive. Will her determination to find them lead her back to danger? Will she finally be able o clear her name and return back home? I have truly enjoyed reading this series. Kimberly Packard has written a seamless story and has created characters that are very well developed, that will suck you into their personal stories and will not be able to put this series down. I am sad the series is over and look forward to reading more books written by the author. I highly recommend this series to be read in order, as book 1 and 2 end with a cliffhanger.

I am sad the series is over and look forward to reading more books written by the author. I highly recommend this series to be read in order, as book 1 and 2 end with a cliffhanger.

Prospera Pass- Kimberly Packard
5-star review
Prospera Pass by Kimberly Packard is such an incredible conclusion to this amazing trilogy! It’s the third and final book in the Phoenix series, this is a series that should be read in order as each new book follows the last and is not intended to be read as a standalone. I read this book in one sitting as I was so captivated by the storyline that I couldn’t bring myself to put it down!
This storyline is action-packed, dark, twisted, suspenseful and so full of twist and turns that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I absolutely loved how this story is told in all the main characters POV’s which made it feel like no detail was left unwritten. It was truly never a dull moment which made it such an entertaining read from start to finish. Having read this series from the beginning I felt so invested in these characters and I’m so happy with how it all played out for them!
I would definitely recommend this book and series to anyone looking for their next suspenseful and captivating read!

Prospera Pass (Phoenix series book 3)
By Kimberly Packard
5 stars
The final book in what has been a brilliant series. I have been captivated from the very beginning and didn’t want it to end. The authors writing never wavered from book 1 to book 3 – each one was exciting, full of action and well written. I think it has definitely been one of my favourite series of 2018! I knew there would be some good twists in this final book and I wasn’t wrong – just when I thought I had guessed what was going to happen along came another unexpected twist. I desperately wanted Amanda to finally find Josh and bring him to justice. I know that Amanda can be stubborn at times but I think she needed that stubbornness to not give up. The suspense and mystery of the story absolutely kept me on the edge of my seat and in all honesty I am a little sad this series is over!
I cannot wait to read more from this author in the future she has written an amazing 5 star series that I cannot recommend enough!

Prospera Pass is the third and final story in the Phoenix series by Kimberly Packard. In this stunning conclusion, Amanda, David and Josh continue on the deadly and tense dance with the devil and try to come out the other side alive. It was huge adventure, suspense and mayhem. Fraught with danger around every corner, these characters must stay alive in order to help each other. A task that proved more difficult the deeper the story gets.
Prospera Pass had me on the very edge and sometimes I had to walk away as I thought I would snap under the immense tension I felt while reading. It was so gripping it took my breath away and totally captivated me. The author just dribbled a little more each chapter that kept my attention at an all time high from the first word to the last. I needed a moment to ponder just how I could put into words the powerful effect it had on me. Totally arresting. Totally beguiling. Totally dramatic. Totally absorbing. Totally worth every anxious moment. Totally worth reading. 5 stars.

Prospera Pass Phoenix Series | Book 3 Written by Kimberly Packard
4 Stars
“Do you believe in Purgatory…”
“I’m there, and I should fight to pull myself up, toward Heaven, but really at this point, I just want to let go and fall.”
Wow...this book was filled with a lot of intense emotions, mystery, regret, determination, hope, gorey descriptions and many twist and surprises.
“It’s dangerous. You could be killed.” “I’m already dead,” she said, retreating from the room. “And, the dead can’t die.”
You will be engaged until the end awaiting all the answers you've been left trying to figure out from the first two books. There were times I wanted to close my eyes and turn my head picturing the scenes being described. Some scenes took my breath away.
“Living in the past isn’t good for you. It’s filled with ghosts, and if you hang out with them long enough, you become one yourself.”
A clue. A lure.

Prospera Pass (The Phoenix Series Book 3) by Kimberly Packard is the final book in the thrilling Phoenix trilogy. The story is fast paced and is told in multiple POV’s between the different characters. It’s hard to put the book down as the need to know what’s going to happen drives you forward thinking just one more page, just one more page. There is plenty of action and danger, murder and suspense that has you on the edge of your seat and wondering what comes next. Emotions run extremely high in this story. Feelings of guilt and hope, revenge and hatred, grief and self loathing, justice and need. The story is a well written and intriguing and completely engrossing that you find yourself fully immersed and invested and you definitely feel for the characters as you take this journey with them.
This is one page turner that you don’t want to miss out on.

Prospera Pass by Kimberly Packard
5 Stars!!!!!
This is the third book in the Pheonix series and I was just as glued to the pages as I was with book
one. The author does a great job of incorperating just enough action and drama into the book along
with the best amount of romance. I felt like I was in the book and I was a part of the drama that was
unfolding in this book.
The chemistry between Amanda and David is so relatable and realistic. The way that David knew deep down inside she was still alive and kept looking or her. I was so drawn into the story and was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it all would turn out. I was really routing for David and
Amanda. I do look forward to reading more from this author in future. I was really happy with the
way that the author ended this series and it is one I will be reading again in the future.

Prospera Pass by Kimberly Packard is the last book in her Phoenix Series. I this series and the writing style Kimberly Packard. Her writing style flows from one book to the next one. It was brilliant that Packard know where to stop the story to keep the reader questioning what has happed and wanting more. This story will grab you the minute you start reading. Packard keeps the story evolving to the very last page. There are twists and turns that made me reread the section to see what I missed. Amanda has been on a mission throughout this series. Josh went missing and David is thought to be dead. Will we ever find out what is going on with Josh and David? Will Amanda ready to move forward or be vengeful all her days?

Phoenix Series book 3: Prospera Pass written by Kimberly Packard. This is the end of Amanda, Josh and David’s story and I was curious to see how the ending would be written and I was not disappointed. Amanda is trying to just be, she thinks David’s dead and she spent so much time chasing Josh to regain her life back that now she doesn’t know how to begin living it freely. David on the other hand thinks Amanda is dead and here’s where the story gets good again. There are new characters, people from their pasts come back and of course the ending we’ve all been waiting for. I’m sad to see this series end it kept me wanting more through each book and Prosper Pass is no different. I think I wanted to finish this one more because I had to see how it ended.

Prospera Pass is book three in a series that has gotten more heart-poundingly awesome as it goes! This is the final book and I have to say, my fave of them all. Everything comes to a head, and it’s got more action, more shock, more love. Most of this story has felt hopeless. There’s no way a few people with as limited resources as they have will ever survive this chaos! As each step was taken, the situation got more dire and complicated. I totally got sucked into their world and had my fingers crossed til the very end. Great world-building and storytelling, with layered and complex characters. I loved it all.

Prospera Pass is the 3rd and last book in the Phoenix series. I'm telling you, this is one exhilarating series! This is an interconnecting series so they must be read in order! Any and ALL action you want happens in this series. It will pull you to the edge of your seat and not let go!
There were a lot of things to wrap up in this book. I have had questions that I've been dying to get answered ever since I read book 2. This one doesn't disappoint. If you have read the other 2 books then I promise you this won't disappoint you in the least bit. It gave me the conclusion that I've been dying for!
This whole series is amazing and should be on everyone's must read list!

Amanda is determined to bring Josh to justice but she also has the belief that David is dead. Will she cross the line when asked or will her feelings win out?

Prospera Pass is the third book and final in the Phoenix series by Kimberly Packard. I don't know if the book could have ended any other way than it did. Do I have questions? Yes, I do but it's only because I get so attached to characters and once again it happened in this series so of course I want to know more about the future of everyone.
As much as I loved Amanda I found myself developing a girl crush on Fallon. She developed so much in this book and I definitely feel it was for the better.
This series is amazing, never a dull moment and I cannot recommend it enough.

Excellent conclusion of this series
I have enjoyed the storyline of this series. It follows Amanda in her quest to bring back her former boss and boyfriend, Josh, who left her holding the bag for securities fraud. She assumes a new name and meets David while she continues to search for Josh. We learn that life is not going as planned for Josh and soon Amanda is a target for a drug lord. She meets other people along the way that help her and the ending is a surprise. Excellent read!

Wow
This is the final book in the series and it was scary. A well written story about the fight against the drug Lord.
This book scared me. It's raw and gory and I had to finally jump ahead because I couldn't take it anymore. It's written so well that it put me in places I didn't want to go and see things I didn't want to see. If you like creepy books, you'll love this series.

I absolutely loved this series and became engulfed from the beginning of Phoenix. There were many times I wanted to shake the main character, Amanda, at her stubbornness- but that proves my emotional investment into the series.
I’m going to miss reading this series. Maybe just one more book??!! :)

I received an ARC from the author. I read the first two in this trilogy and have been anxiously waiting for the final book and conclusion. It did not disappoint! I couldn't put it down, the story came to a perfect conclusion and I loved every page.

It is understandable that the author must close things. So this was a bit weak in comparison to book one of the series.
