Summary
One last time， the Phoenix will rise， and her flames will savage all who stand between her and those she loves…
The game is afoot， and I never saw it coming。 A game of demons， angels and new breed of abnormal that is beyond anything else I’ve faced。 A monstrosity that is bent on destroying every other abnormal on the planet。 Only one thing can stop those who would wipe us out。 A cursed weapon。 Created by a person who has been dead a long time。
With an impossible task at hand， I can no longer face the darkness on my own。 Even for me， the Phoenix， I need people at my back and my side。
The clock is ticking as my team and I race to find the curse， the weapon， and the final pieces that will save the world。 And when the darkness rises to consume us， I will have to face my greatest fears。
Will I survive my own flames， or will I burn the world and my own existence up to save those I love？

Shannon my hat's off to you， you know how to write a book and keep readers glued to the pages。 It's a wonder the pages didn't catch on fire， they were smokin hot with all that action。 I totally loved it。Phoenix finally got Killian back as you probably already read in the last book。 Now they have to stop the evil that is trying to wipe them out， but he seems to be one step ahead of them。 Nix is determined though and doesn't know how to give up。 She perseveres on。。。。。。。You will absolutely love the Shannon my hat's off to you， you know how to write a book and keep readers glued to the pages。 It's a wonder the pages didn't catch on fire， they were smokin hot with all that action。 I totally loved it。Phoenix finally got Killian back as you probably already read in the last book。 Now they have to stop the evil that is trying to wipe them out， but he seems to be one step ahead of them。 Nix is determined though and doesn't know how to give up。 She perseveres on。。。。。。。You will absolutely love the ending to this series。 I am so sad it's the last book but wow what a ride it was。。。。 。。。more

What a way to end a series！ Easter eggs？ In November no less。 Nix is faced with so many obstacles in her final final book。 Non stop action and be still my heart。。。。。the Easter eggs just top it all off。

The final book in the Nix series picks up right where A Savage Spell left off。 Thank goodness too， because … Killian！ Nix is finally reunited with him， but he’s in bad shape and it may take a deal with a demon to help him。 A deal she’s willing to make and hopes Killian can forgive her， because she’s going to need those she trusts by her side。 To stop Gardreel and his psychotic plan （to quote Dean Winchester， “Angels are d**ks。”）， she’s going to need a spell to make another sentient weapon that c The final book in the Nix series picks up right where A Savage Spell left off。 Thank goodness too， because … Killian！ Nix is finally reunited with him， but he’s in bad shape and it may take a deal with a demon to help him。 A deal she’s willing to make and hopes Killian can forgive her， because she’s going to need those she trusts by her side。 To stop Gardreel and his psychotic plan （to quote Dean Winchester， “Angels are d**ks。”）， she’s going to need a spell to make another sentient weapon that can kill the fallen。 A spell known by few and one thought to be dead。 Nix has the weight of the world bearing down on her and a short time frame， but she’s got to do it or it will fall onto Bear to stop the fallen。 A mother’s love started this journey and it’s going to finish it。 This book is fast paced and the Easter eggs will surely bring a smile to your face （trust me there are some good ones）。 I really enjoyed this series and I’m a little sad it’s reached the end， but that ending was heart pounding and the perfect ending for Nix’s story。 。。。more

WOW！ This has been such a fun， wild series！ It’s a perfect ending for Nix！ She is absolutely amazing in her fierceness and willingness to do whatever she needs to do to get her babies back！ She is ruthless and the ultimate momma bear。 To say I was shocked by some of the things she did is an understatement。 I love the main characters。 They are very well developed and thought out。 The Easter Eggs were perfect and I couldn’t help but smile at other female characters I love。 What an fantastic story！

Enjoyable TaleBecoming an assassin， uncovering the truth， falling in love， captured and now off to save the world all in 5 great books of Nix。 There are some great Easter Eggs along the way but this is another great adventure by Shannon Mayer。 Keep in mind the Lessons on Phoenix “Lesson one。 She doesn’t give up on people。 Lesson two， piss her off and find out how short her fuse is。” Truly an enjoyable tale。

What a ride！I'm so incredibly sad that this journey is over。 I have loved the Phoenix series since it began。 This book did not disappoint and it was an edge of your seat ride from page one。 Phoenix is such a strong woman and she will do anything to protect the people she has come to love。 She started out not knowing love or even knowing that's what she needed， but she has it now and she will not let it go。 I have enjoyed all the new supernatural aspects and action。 This book （this entire series） What a ride！I'm so incredibly sad that this journey is over。 I have loved the Phoenix series since it began。 This book did not disappoint and it was an edge of your seat ride from page one。 Phoenix is such a strong woman and she will do anything to protect the people she has come to love。 She started out not knowing love or even knowing that's what she needed， but she has it now and she will not let it go。 I have enjoyed all the new supernatural aspects and action。 This book （this entire series） will not disappoint！ I just love Shannon Mayer， she can't write something that I won't love。 。。。more

This wraps up the Nix saga and in such a powerful way。 There are twists and turns and betrayal and love。 Absolutely one of my favorite series。 Nix kicks butt throughout the entire series and really shows that a mothers love can overcome almost anything。

I can’t believe the perfection that this book is。 It’s so seldom female characters are written with the same propensity for violence as their male counterparts。 Nix blows this out of the water。 She has no remorse doing what she must to keep the world safe， even at the expense of her own heart。 Finding such an unapologetically fierce character， who happens to be female， is so rare and incredibly intriguing to read。 I absolutely loved the crap out of this book and this series。 I’m so happy how wit I can’t believe the perfection that this book is。 It’s so seldom female characters are written with the same propensity for violence as their male counterparts。 Nix blows this out of the water。 She has no remorse doing what she must to keep the world safe， even at the expense of her own heart。 Finding such an unapologetically fierce character， who happens to be female， is so rare and incredibly intriguing to read。 I absolutely loved the crap out of this book and this series。 I’m so happy how with how ended but so sad it’s over。 Thank you so much for Nix， Shannon Mayer。 If you’re truly a Shannon Mayer fan you’re really going to enjoy all the little nuances in this book too。 。。。more

OMG！！！！！！！This was an amazing end to the series！ There were cameos from a bunch of the other books。 Nix is one badass character still。

Holy Dinah！！Buckle in y’all！！ You are in for a bumpy and yet exhilarating ride。 The fight continues with the fallen， demons， and abnormals。 This installment knocked it out of the park！ It was such a addicting read。 Fast pace， and definitely a page turner。 I love the team that Nix has beside her。 At this point I only trust a few characters， but we know Nix is pretty spot on with her instincts。 I absolutely loved the banter between Diego and Dinah。 They always crack me up and it worked well with Holy Dinah！！Buckle in y’all！！ You are in for a bumpy and yet exhilarating ride。 The fight continues with the fallen， demons， and abnormals。 This installment knocked it out of the park！ It was such a addicting read。 Fast pace， and definitely a page turner。 I love the team that Nix has beside her。 At this point I only trust a few characters， but we know Nix is pretty spot on with her instincts。 I absolutely loved the banter between Diego and Dinah。 They always crack me up and it worked well with the storyline。 I absolutely loved the easter eggs and seeing two of my favorite characters。 It literally made my day。 The Nix series has been a incredible journey。 Nix is such a renegade and I love how she fights for those who cannot。 She is a gem。 If you’re a fan of urban fantasy， and vigilante justice with some mama bear vibes then definitely check this series out。 It’s a addicting series！ 。。。more

I have enjoyed every book I’ve read by this author， but I admit that this series is probably my all-time favorite。 Nix is back， and this book picks up right where the last one ended （boy， that last book was a shocker）。 This series-ender was a thrill from that point until this end of the book。 We get a glimpse of some characters from other series-favorites which I just loved， and we tie up all the plot points。 Add to that the great writing， Nix being a bad-a$$， and some tough love， this was a thr I have enjoyed every book I’ve read by this author， but I admit that this series is probably my all-time favorite。 Nix is back， and this book picks up right where the last one ended （boy， that last book was a shocker）。 This series-ender was a thrill from that point until this end of the book。 We get a glimpse of some characters from other series-favorites which I just loved， and we tie up all the plot points。 Add to that the great writing， Nix being a bad-a$$， and some tough love， this was a thrill-ride I couldn’t put down。 I would love to see more Nix， and my heart breaks that this is the last one。 Maybe， please， more？ Highly recommend。 I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed。 。。。more

Holy smokes。 I honestly cannot believe this series is over。 It was as cut throat as it has always been and I love it！ Nix is viscousness with a purpose！ There is no derailing her from her goal and this time， the world is on the line。 She has faced so much hardship， heartache， and brutality throughout this series that she even surprises herself that she still cares。 Shannon Mayer wrote this killer so relatable that any parent can imagine destroying everything that tries to come between them and t Holy smokes。 I honestly cannot believe this series is over。 It was as cut throat as it has always been and I love it！ Nix is viscousness with a purpose！ There is no derailing her from her goal and this time， the world is on the line。 She has faced so much hardship， heartache， and brutality throughout this series that she even surprises herself that she still cares。 Shannon Mayer wrote this killer so relatable that any parent can imagine destroying everything that tries to come between them and their kids。 This last installment completes the overall story arch that began so long ago。 It is a HEA but takes a lot of violence to get to that point。 This is straight urban fantasy with pretty much no romance written in and only lightly suggested。 The entire series is about a strong， independent and relatable mother who is doing everything she can to protect her children。 Fully recommend reading this series and being prepared to cry， be mad， cheer， and slump with relief。 。。。more

What an amazing way to wrap up this series and yet there's still enough ideas that if she wanted to continue in the future more stories are possible。 I loved this series so much and I couldn't be happier with how this conclusion was written。 Perfect。 Five stars all the way。 What an amazing way to wrap up this series and yet there's still enough ideas that if she wanted to continue in the future more stories are possible。 I loved this series so much and I couldn't be happier with how this conclusion was written。 Perfect。 Five stars all the way。 。。。more

A Killing CurseIt’s taken me longer than usual to write a review for this because I am mourning the end of the series。Ms Mayer not only gives a complex thrill ride in every book， she makes one care deeply for her characters。 She has written a very tightly drawn story to a closing one can only hope will be revisited at another time。 This is the culmination of a series， so they should be read in order for the best experience。 If that is not for you， at least read the previous novel， A Savage Spell A Killing CurseIt’s taken me longer than usual to write a review for this because I am mourning the end of the series。Ms Mayer not only gives a complex thrill ride in every book， she makes one care deeply for her characters。 She has written a very tightly drawn story to a closing one can only hope will be revisited at another time。 This is the culmination of a series， so they should be read in order for the best experience。 If that is not for you， at least read the previous novel， A Savage Spell， to get you somewhat up to speed with the endgame。 Ms Mayer never disappoints。 I have no idea how she does it， but she does and I for one， will read everything she writes。 。。。more

A killing curse is the last book in the Nix series and I have to say it was one of my favorites。Pheonix （Nix） is a kick ass female heroine who would do anything for her family and hurt anyone who gets in the way。 If you like fast paced action with supernatural beings than you will love this book and the whole series。 I am sad that it's ending but happy I got to enjoy it。 A killing curse is the last book in the Nix series and I have to say it was one of my favorites。Pheonix （Nix） is a kick ass female heroine who would do anything for her family and hurt anyone who gets in the way。 If you like fast paced action with supernatural beings than you will love this book and the whole series。 I am sad that it's ending but happy I got to enjoy it。 。。。more

Wild， chaotic， and bloody， as expected。 I thought this was the last， but it hints a possible continuation。Spoiler:If Rylee is in this world， then it means Lark is too。 Should the world soon be totally remade？？？？？

I loved this！！ Nix really knows how to use her fire。 I’m sad that it ended ， but hoping that maybe （？） there might be a spin off series。 Shannon Mayer has once again delivered a wonderful book to dive into and lose yourself in its pages。

A great series from start to finish！ The Phoenix aka Nix is such a badass heroine that even with the violence she riotously mets out you just keep cheering for her。 No hearts and rainbows here， just grit and determination to find a way to rid the world of the threat from Gardreel and the other fallen。 Great untraditional supporting characters like Dinah the sentient gun and the love of her life Killian and some levity to an otherwise dark story。 Mayer finishes the series well but true to her for A great series from start to finish！ The Phoenix aka Nix is such a badass heroine that even with the violence she riotously mets out you just keep cheering for her。 No hearts and rainbows here， just grit and determination to find a way to rid the world of the threat from Gardreel and the other fallen。 Great untraditional supporting characters like Dinah the sentient gun and the love of her life Killian and some levity to an otherwise dark story。 Mayer finishes the series well but true to her form the end…for now？ 。。。more

I don't think there could be a better finale for Nix。 Shannon Mayer pulled out all the stops。 Not only is this an amazing action packed story， it is also riddled with Easter eggs and outright cameos from characters from some of her other best selling series。 Phoenix is a badass like no other。 As a mother it is easy to understand the violence she is willing to commit to save not only those she loves， but the entire world。 She happens to have some incredibly amazing skills and determination to do I don't think there could be a better finale for Nix。 Shannon Mayer pulled out all the stops。 Not only is this an amazing action packed story， it is also riddled with Easter eggs and outright cameos from characters from some of her other best selling series。 Phoenix is a badass like no other。 As a mother it is easy to understand the violence she is willing to commit to save not only those she loves， but the entire world。 She happens to have some incredibly amazing skills and determination to do just that。 Her fierceness also inspires others to join her on this deadly mission。 So buckle up and get ready for a wild ride into a world filled with warring angels， demons and those in between them。 。。。more

This series is awesome！Phoenix （Nix） is the ultimate killing machine。 Don’t threaten her family or our world。 She is brutal， deadly， unstoppable， beautiful and tenacious。If you love your stories to be action packed， faced paced and to the point， you will love this book and the Nix series。

I have loved this series from the very very start and totally binge read it so having to wait for this final book was literally agony but boy was it worth it！ Once I picked this up I immediately fell into the story as we pickup up right where the previous book left us。 Nix is a simply kick ass， badass and an all round amazing character that you would definitely want fighting in your corner。 Her ‘team’ stand by her and support her in a such a way you would think they were family which by the end I have loved this series from the very very start and totally binge read it so having to wait for this final book was literally agony but boy was it worth it！ Once I picked this up I immediately fell into the story as we pickup up right where the previous book left us。 Nix is a simply kick ass， badass and an all round amazing character that you would definitely want fighting in your corner。 Her ‘team’ stand by her and support her in a such a way you would think they were family which by the end of this I guess they were！ There’s so much action， betrayal and the twists and turns， well I just couldn’t keep up and when two old friends from another series made an appearance well I laughed and even teared up a little。 The ending was phenomenal， literally a fight to the death and had me on the edge of my seat biting my fingernails to the quick， screaming at my kindle especially in chapter 29！ All in all an amazingly fantabulous series that I would be happy to read over and over with it’s exciting and gripping storyline and a cast of characters that I would love to meet （ just not the bad guys！！） 。。。more

From the very beginning of this series， Nix has been this relateable badass woman！ From Wyoming， in the very beginning， to ND， to NOLA， to Russia， this story has clutched at my heart。 The characters personalities blend and compliment each other so well， it's like a cup of cocoa on a cold night， totally comfortable， and completely satisfying。 Everything you've come to expect from one of Shannon Mayers books is embodied in this last one of this series。 If you haven't read the Nix series， you reall From the very beginning of this series， Nix has been this relateable badass woman！ From Wyoming， in the very beginning， to ND， to NOLA， to Russia， this story has clutched at my heart。 The characters personalities blend and compliment each other so well， it's like a cup of cocoa on a cold night， totally comfortable， and completely satisfying。 Everything you've come to expect from one of Shannon Mayers books is embodied in this last one of this series。 If you haven't read the Nix series， you really should just give it a shot， well worth the read！ 。。。more
