Publisher's summary

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.

lol

It's review time 🎧
Warning ⚠️: comedy, saving the world from something unknown, a crazy horse, a cat old as dirt, a crazy friend, and some guy named ****...

Narrator score🎧 ; Michael out done himself so very much.... you can hear how much he enjoyed to read this book.
It was an absolute pleasure to listen to him preform this book.

Level of steam🔥: as always you have a lot!!!! Of banter but it isn't about the steam at all..the connection between the characters is building in a different rhythm lol 😆 😂

Level of anxiety and sadness0😱😢: I can't call this book sad... it's the best thing ever laughed so much my face hurts. It was amazing.

The book itself📖: wow!!!!!!!!!!!! OK..... I have to admit that at first I thought that the book was a bit too much.... especially Alistair.... but then we discovered somethings about him that made him more of a human than someone that the world circles around him....
It's like Alistair is a crazy version of Maui in Moana they are both a***les but it's a cover from the world.
And Nix is that great character ad well this ordinary guy that is afraid that his grandmother will kill him and change him in his sleep....
I really can't wait to the next book on audio...

It was pleasant

It wasn't a laugh-out-loud book, probably because the main characters seemed a little whiny. You spend a lot of time going to different locations and there wasn't much worldbuilding. You had enough backstory to get by but there are still many questions. The MC seemed to become a couple by default and for me, lacked chemistry. Nix was Alastair's shiny new toy that just went with the flow. Michael Feraiuolo was supurb.
