Hard to read with complicated rules about how and when the magic works and how to solve problems.

At that time the lords of the underworld (demons) (Banol Kax) will pierce the barrier and take control of the earth.

The Short Review: I’ve been on board with Jessica Andersen’s The Final Prophecy series from book one and I’m still on board. It’s an intriguing, inventive, and imaginative look at a group of people who are charged with saving the world from destruction on 12/12/2012. Their quest is not an easy one and Ms. Andersen’s thoroughly researched books not only give you a look into the Mayan culture, but she wraps it inside an action packed paranormal romance that is well worth reading.

"The series gets better and better! Not to be missed!"
With each installment, Jessica Andersen ramps up the action and excitement in a thrilling ride that takes the reader on unexpected turns! In Dawnkeepers, we have--oh horrors!--Rabbit killing the three-question nahwal and the loss of the skyroad and thus, the Nightkeepers' communication with the gods. We see things getting bleaker and bleaker for the Nightkeepers as their powers waned. How then are they going to save the More...

Skykeepers was a considerable improvement compared to the previous stories. I wasn't throwing the book straight into the wall out of frustration or boredom. Still, it was too complicated at times, illogical at others. And sometimes simply felt as a piece of homework on Mayan or Aztec civilization rather than an engaging story to pull you in.
I did like the leads better than the ones from previous books, though the reasoning of their fighting and making up didn't ring true in my heart More...

Sky Keeper is the 3rd book in the Final Prophecy series by Jessica Andersen.
This is the continuing story regarding the Mayan doomsday prophecy. The remaining Nightkeepers have the odds stacked against them. There are a limited number of Nightkeepers left. Most are still developing their magic powers. The Nightkeepers need to find a missing woman who might be the key in finding the ancient library that could provide them with the knowledge they need to fight their enemies and with More...

This book was a little confusing...
Because this is book 3 in series
obviously the format focuses o a couple in the Nightkeepers group
Strike and Leah must have been the first book
Nate and (? her name escapes me, ) must have been the second book
This book focuses on Sasha and Michael
He is struggling to stay sane after FBI experiments split his personality into two

My Review:
OMG, this book broke my heart- specifically, Michael broke my heart. After going black ops with the FBI, where they created a psychotic "Other" within him, Michael spends most days trying to maintain control of his mind and life. The "Other" is a sociopathic assassin that lives within him. The FBI has secured that part of his personality within his brain, but when the NightKeepers magic kicked More...

The general consensus around here is that this is the best book in the series (so far). And I heartily and readily agree. It will be tough to top this one, but I’m sure Ms. Andersen will try (and I hope she’ll succeed).
This story holds the gist of the entire series, the quest of the Nighkeepers – it’s about the ultimate battle between good and evil. And while the series concentrates on the "outside" battle, this story is all about the inner battle – the battle between good More...

I liked the book, but I am still confusedwith all the details. I really need to grow some patience. Iam kidding...this book is a good addition to the series. Sashis a very likeable character an even though Michael was a little too suffering for my taste, he redeemed himself at the. Overall things are heating up and getting more complicated for the "Nightkeepers," but the good news is that if they keep getting together, thy might just stand a chances against the end of the world.

This is book three in the Final Prophecy series and is an epic read. This series has intricate world building and an unfamiliar mythology which made the first couple of instalments a slower read, but it all comes together in this book. The story follows the pattern of the HEA of Michael Stone and Sasha Ledbetter, at first an unlikely pair who find their individual talents actually complement each other while progressing the overall arc of the approaching apocalypse in December 2012. Now that th

I loved this book! My heart broke for Michael and Sasha when it seemed as though they were not going to get together. It was full a lot of twists and turns and it was hard to put it down. There was a wonderful mixture of happiness, laughter, tears, danger, love and destiny. Thank goodness Michael and Sasha realized that while their love didn't fit into a mold that they had hoped for, in the end it more than worked for them. Goes to show you just how powerful love can be. I was surprised when I c

So I'm still really loving this series! The only reason it wasn't a five star for me was because it didn't suck me in like the previous two did - which really isn't a fault of the book, I was just busy this week with other things and didn't have time to read that much. Bonus that the romance seemed to be more thoroughly integrated (or at least more prominent) into the story line this time 'round instead of just being thrown in as needed. The whole 'love magic will save us all' is getting a bit c

I don't know what happened with this book; I found all the right things - interesting concept, interesting plot, etc. The characters did and said all the right things but I just didn't like either of them, I guess. I felt absolutely no connection to any of them this time.
Michael was sufficiently tortured and twisted to engage my Dangerous Hero Addiction gene but I also kept wanting him to say something about The Other(yes I know he was afraid and programmed not to talk about it). More...

I'm not sure, but I think I keep reading this series just to see if Andersen can keep a straight face while writing her utterly ridiculous denouements. Given their sheer hilarity, I'd respect her a bit more if they had at least a slight touch of the tongue in cheek. Pity, because her mythology is still fascinating, her world-building excellent, and her characters well rendered. If only she could stop being so damn insistently literal in her mythic Mayan resolutions...

This series keeps getting better and better. Michael is a darker character than Nate and Strike are and is more fun because of it. Sasha is such a shifting character, but not in an inconsistent way...in a natural way. I do wish that she would have more to do with the couples in the first two books. They just seem to drop out. Leah, Nate and Alexis are all on the fringes.
She is really heating up the series and I can't wait for the next one.

I've come to the conclusion that I will most likely be finishing the series. Am I going to be happy about it? Likely not.
Jessica Andersen has fallen into my Christine Feehan category. Not really that good, not really that bad, moments that make my eyes hurt from the rolling, but obviously the pages are laced with heroin and force me to keep coming back.

I am reading this one and just started last night.. can not wait to finish it..THis is one of my favorite of this series...I liked book two, dawn keepers, but I loved the fight of love in this one....Michael had so much to overcome..I seem to like the twisted lovers..LOL I think out of the three written so far this is my favorite!!

I finished this book in a day which I guess says alot. It was a pretty fast read mainly because not a lot was happening in the story or even in between the romance between Michael and Sasha. I felt like Sasha, for a woman that didn't believe fell way too quickly into the Nightkeepers world. Rabbit's sub-plot was another reason I kept reading because he's a character that has always fascinated from the first book.

Up to now Michael always seemed to be in the background, so I was interesting to see how he would stand up to the battle. I wasn't sure what was going on with his split personality and didn't think it worked out, but when we found out why I felt like he got the shaft in so many ways. His winkin was hiding just as much as he was. Then when Michael gets his directive I wanted to scream. I didn't want him to do it, but if he didn't that wasn't good either.

Although I wasn't thrilled with the first book in the series, each one after has gotten better. Loved Sasha and Michael's story. A good read all around and the stories of the of Nightkeepers are starting to flesh out more. Can't wait for the next installment!

i have to say that this couple annoyed the shit out of me through 80% of the book. The constant on off was just a plain pain in the ass. But the storyline just kept me going and i've been rewarded with another "well.. that was unexpected" feeling like all the other books of the Final Prophecy had given me too. Picking up Demonkeepers now :)

Skykeepers does a great job of continuing the story arc. I do have to say this book was my favorite in the series because I really like Sasha. If you are following this series, SkyKeepers is a good addition

Can I just say that I really like Michael? I may decide I like one of the others better, but there's just something about him...

Skykeepers (Final Prophecy, Book 3) is another fine entry in Jessica Andersen's Final Prophecy series based on Mesoamerican myths. Michael Stone, a Nightkeeper and former government agent, is a man of many secrets, and a perfect match for Sasha Ledbetter, who has her own secrets. Stone and Ledbetter work through monsterous problems to achieve a future together. We learn more about the history of the Nightkeepers, and as in earlier books, there are setbacks as well as progress preparing for the c

Another fabulous final prophesy novel by JA. :-) Loved Michael's and Sasha's story and that he proposed to her at the end because they could not share the Nightkeeper mate marks...enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to the next one.
