Infinity: Number 1 in series (Chronicles of Nick, #1)

by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Teenager Nick Gautier thinks he knows everything. Streetwise, tough and savvy, his quick sarcasm is renowned. But his whole world is suddenly turned upside down on the night his best friends try to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters - immortal vampire-slayers who risk everything to save humanity - and he quickly learns that the human world is only a veil for a much larger and more dangerous one that's filled with all kinds of evil. However, before he can even learn the rules of this new world, his fellow students start turning into flesh-eating members of the undead. Nick knows he's in real danger and he soon has a lot more to deal with than starting high school: he's under pressure to hide his new friends from his mother and his chainsaw from the principal while trying to impress the girl he has a crush on - all without getting grounded, suspended...or killed. ***Also available as a manga adaptation***

Reviews

I started liking this book on page 5. ALOT. Nick was a super sarcastic guy who's POV was really fun to read about, until his POV became random, jumpy and overly sarcastic. That's when the book started going downhill.

As you know by now, I am a fantasy fangirl. But a zombie horror fangirl? Not so much. And that's was this book features; zombies, daimons, demons, shifters, dark-hunters, were-hunters, Artemis and a lot more. Usually I love reading about a rich diversity of magical characters, but there were so many of them that it became difficult for me to grasp who was what and why and when. I also felt as though Nick was one of the tiny minority who didn't know about the non-human world that he lived in and when he finds out about this non-human world and that he is kinda of non-human too, he doesn't pause even for a moment to think about the world that he thought he knew. He just went with the flow and didn't even think for a moment that he was going crazy. If he had time to kiss during a zombie attack then surely he could have a little time to think about his sanity.

One thing that I did love was the secondary characters, Kyrian, Acheron, Bubba, Mark and Nick's overprotective and loving mom. I never knew and still have no clue which side Nekoda and Caleb are on and that's awesome, because I want to be shocked and surprised and holding on to the edge of my seat.

I started loving this book and ended feeling indifferent about it.This book was a fun read, but it didn't wow me as much as I thought it would.

once again Sherrilyn Kenyon amazes me with her writing. I so loved this book, it had my rolling n laughter so many times, cause of Nick's smart mouth, man that boy is hilarious... then with him and Ash lawd help me those two are a riot. I don't want Kody hurting Nick, and Caleb, well it's hard to say how he's gonna end up cause he's working for Nick's father. Poor Nick he just can never get a break. Well I can't wait to read more the Nick's adventure's. He's always been one of my fav DH characters.

YES! finally a little more about Nick :) although I kind of would have liked to know how it was really like... not how adult-Nick is trying very hard to change his past.
