How to form it

Start from the ます form and replace ます with きる: 読(よ)みます becomes 読(よ)みきる.
きる is a godan verb: 読(よ)みきった.
With some verbs it means totally: 疲(つか)れきる (be completely exhausted), 分(わ)かりきったこと (something perfectly obvious).
It is often written 切(き)る: 読(よ)み切(き)る.

この本(ほん)を一日(いちにち)で読(よ)みきった。

I read this whole book in a day.

最後(さいご)まで走(はし)りきった。

〜終(お)わるfinish doing
"Finish doing", without the sense of pushing to the very end.
