About this listen

Nix
“You are the savior of mankind” are the last words I ever expected to hear while nibbling on fries. The thing is, I’m not mankind saving material. I don’t even have magic (and just found out it exists). I’m the most boring, normal(ish) human ever.

Suddenly, I’m being tossed right into the middle of a fight that started years before I was even born, and then I get partnered up with Alastair, a quirky magical Guardian. He is rather attractive and sweet when he’s not into the whole “woe is me, I can’t let myself fall in love with you” nonsense. I mean, the moment he took my annoyingly judgmental grandma hostage, it was all over for me. I was hooked.

Now the only problem is...what exactly are we saving the world from?

Alastair
The moment I laid eyes on Nix, the naive yet easygoing human captivated my attention, and now I’m determined to protect him. But despite my amazing and majestic abilities, we might not make it out of this mess. Still, there must be a reason Nix was chosen. No, he doesn’t have pizazz and maybe he really doesn’t have magic, but he’s also one of the strongest and kindest men I’ve ever met.

Now if I can just get him to stop throwing blankets at enemies, we might have a shot at this.

Nixing the End of the World contains a flaming "horse" with antlers who inexplicably appears when needed (or not), an interfering BFF who didn’t really mean to light the trunk on fire, a six-toed cat that looks like he put a claw in a socket, and an incubus who just wants a smoothie without anyone losing their clothes.

This was just incredible. The book was awesome first time reading it but adding Michael’s talented narration just made it all the more brilliant!

Michael’s best narration to date

I found this book easier to follow on audiobook than reading it and so enjoyed it a lot more than the first reading. It is exactly my kind of book, magic users, new world to discover, quirky friends, mixed beings, hidden society, prophecy.... however I found it hard going to keep track of what was going on in the book. Furthermore, the ending could have done with a bit more time spent on it. May get next book, not sure.

it's ok

Love a book that makes me chuckle in the first few pages and full of sarcastic humorous remarks... Good story line, looking forward to the next.

I loved this book, the characters are both ridiculous and hilarious but they still draw you in and take you on a wild ride. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
