Josh has vanished and David is presumed dead, Amanda is finally ready to try and move forward, to forget everything that has happened.

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.
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 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!
Prospera Pass (The Phoenix Series Book 3)

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.
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.

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!!
