Laurie rated it:

This is totally a young adult book. If your looking for something like the dark hunters series, its not here, so you don’t get the romance and hardcore action. I would recommend this book to people who read YA books, but if YA is not your cup of tea like me, well you may want to read more than a couple of reviews before buying. There is action, and humor and teens that turns into zombies, yep, picture it, some of the football team as zombies coming after to kill Nick.

I didn’t start this with positive thoughts. My reasons were:
• I didn’t depart the Dark Hunter series with the best feelings;
• Never really liked Nick;
• Wasn’t sure of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s ability to write a good YA novel.

Did I make a good choice with Infinity? Will the Chronicles of Nick rock your world? Well no and no. Sorry Nicky boy, you’re just not cool enough. Yet.

The book lacks a proper story. All I got was Nick being bullied, Nick lacking food and N More...

I skimmed quite a bit through this one...and still feel I wasted a LOT of time. Yes...these are hours of my life I'll never get back.

The book dragged on trying to get started as we went to school with Nick and watched him persecuted more thoroughly than Bilbo at an Orc convention. We suffered through him having to live on powdered eggs...with maybe a little bacon, sometimes not even out of date (Nick's mom is poor but noble....not real understanding at times, but noble. Oh and also v More...

I enjoyed this first installment of CON. Sherrilyn Kenyon has convinced me with her talent. She was able to keep me wrapped up in the world she created for Nick. Be it adult romance or young adult fantasy, she's built a solid foundation with intriguing creatures.

Nick is a 14 years old and dirt poor. His Mom is a stripper and they eat substituted food like powdered eggs. I am not sure if Nick feels bad about his home situation because his his attitude is so acidic at times. I'll stin More...

This was the first Sherrilyn Kennyon book I read, I actually read this before I read the Dark Hunter series and I loved it. I was in Dymocks one day with my Mum and two little sisters and she said I could pick a book. I contemplated and contemplated it was either this or something else. In the end I decided on Infinity. I am glad I did. I flew through it and despite it’s size I managed to read it in one afternoon and I read it again and again.

Plot in a sentence and a half: Nick is 1 More...

Melodie rated it:

Never read Kenyon before because her books just never sounded interesting to me. For some reason this new journey of hers into the YA fantasy field caught my attention. Should have stuck with my impression of her adult books as this was mostly a waste of time. The best character was Nick's mom, the single mom stripper with a heart of gold. The whole book was full of this type of cliche' and I've discovered that zombies, whether live or dead zombies, bore the shit out of me! Wouldn't recomme More...

I'm going to give a brief story of the book, so here it is.

<spoiler>It began with Nick getting up from bed, he ate and hurried to the bus, so he wouldn't be late for school. Nick was once sho in the arm, by his former friends. Their names were Mike, Tyree, and Alan. Nick had to battle lots of zombies on the way, of his adventure. Maudaug made this game, called Zombie Hunter, that when someone played it, they got turned into a zombie. Mark gives Nick some rules, More...

This review may also be found on A Thousand Little Pages.

Infinity started out just like every other paranormal novel, albeit with a slower pacing than most. Nick Gautier is introduced, his background briefly touched upon, and the paranormal aspect stirred in. I was expecting some sort of yay-let’s-all-go-stake-vampires novel, when WA-BAMMM…

ZOMBIES!!!

Woah.

If you're expecting much from this book after reading the blurb, then beware! Other than the Zombie Apocalypse part, you won't be finding anything else in the book. The name Dark-Hunters are only mentioned and never explained. It shouldn't be assumed that the reader knows the information because they read a previous series (which I didn't). Nick never has to deal with hiding his chainsaw from his principal because it was only a crazy notion that he had. The whole zombie-hunting ordeal was over v More...

In questa nuova saga (per il momento parliamo di tre romanzi), Sherrilyn Kenyon mette insieme i vecchi personaggi di Dark Hunters e i nuovi protagonisti adolescenti, in special modo entriamo nel mondo di Nick Gautier, conosciuto in Notte di Piaceri come scudiero dalla frecciatina sempre pronta di Kiryan.

Da Notte di Piaceri sappiamo che Nick è molto legato a Kiryan, il suo senso della leatà va probabilmente oltre quello di un normale "scudiero" (servitore diurno) e questo perchè il Cacc More...

The story begins with the main character, Nick, being the posterboy of loser-dom in his school. We see him struggle everyday as the band of bullies put him down, abused, and just wronged him. Two chapters were dedicated entirely for this, before we, finally, got into the story.

The plot, in 100 words or less: Nick Gautier is fourteen. Dirt poor. And has a stripper for a mother. When a certain event winds him up in a hospital and meeting the mysterious Kyrian, our powdered-egg-eating g More...

This is a REALLY good book. Just one warning though: it's REALLY cheesy. The humor is way overdone, which honestly is breathtaking in a way. Not many writers can get away with this type of writing. Still, it's a good story and it made me crave the sequel.

The beginning starts innocently enough. Nick is a poor scholarship kid that gets bullied at his school and then develops into a full zombie apocalypse where he finds out monster (not just zombies) are everywhere.

One of the best books I've ever re- no... its the best one.

I've never read any of her works before and i still havent read the Dark-Hunter series (i will soon) but i didnt have any problems understanding this one. so if you are worried about not having read the original series before: dont be. everything will still make sense.

So Ive never been that much of a fantasy fan. I do like it but not the extrem stuff like Lord Of The Rings for example. I always need some connection to More...

I have been interested in reading about Nick since everything went askew for him back in the Dark-Hunter books. Nick's appearance in Ash's book also raised some questions about Nick's anger and his nature so to get to read about it in his very own book/series intrigued me.

I was a little surprised that this book takes us all the way back to before Kyrian's book (Night Pleasures) and mostly that was because I never read the description of the book. What I did like was actually getting to More...

June rated it:

Invincible is the second installment in Kenyon's first foray into the young adult market. It follows the first book in the series, Infinity. This series follows Nick Gautier, a fourteen year-old boy. Kenyon has written this saga with a focus on one of her adult characters as he was as a youngster. It shows how he became the entity that he is in her adult books.

In the first book, Nick found himself the target of a number of supernatural creatures, zombies being foremost among them. This More...

I loved this book! I’d been wanting to read it since it is young adult paranormal and my students liked it (since it was set in Louisiana, specifically New Orleans). A chapter into the book and I really, really liked Nick. He’s your average teen trying to make ends meet with a single mom, except she’s an exotic dancer on Bourbon Street. Besides going to a private school with cheap clothes (his mom picks them out), everyone knows what his mom does for a living and he gets a lot of crap for it. More...

Nick has always had a hard life, keeping his head up despite the situation. He’s dirt-poor but street-wise and a scholarship student at a rich private school. Life is interesting to say the least. When a certain event winds him up in the hospital and meeting the mysterious Kyrian Nick’s life is changed forever and he learns there’s a lot more in the world. Like demons and werewolves, fate and destiny. And lots and lots of zombies.
When I read the back cover: werewolves, demons, vampires, de More...

As I sit here I realize that it took me longer than normal to write this review. I could blame it on multiple things in my life, but the simple fact is I didn’t know where to start. I was very ready NOT to like this book. I have to say Nick in the Dark Hunter series became the least favorite of my characters after his conversion to Dark Hunter. Not only did I find him whiny and self serving, he seemed to blame the world instead of taking some res More...

I'm really not sure what to say about this book, so I'll start with the cover. I admit, I'm kind of a cover freak and I do indeed judge books based upon the covers. I've always loved Infinity's cover. I remember the first time I saw it, I almost bought it, but then decided against it only because I was getting Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead. Every time I would walk by the book, my eyes were drawn to it and when I finally found it in my library I was like, "HECK YES!" However, the conten More...

There was much to like about this book's premise and some of the characters, but I was left uncomfortable in reading it by the many inconsistencies of both language and characters. For example... The main characters mother is a stripper who dropped out of school to have a baby, yet she always speaks very properly. The main character himself speaks properly (almost adult-like in his syntax in thought and word) for the first 80 pages and then seems to remember he's one step up from a street kid an More...

I feel kind of bad giving this book only two stars, but I couldn't really get into it. I liked Nick well enough, even though he kind of got on my nerves sometimes. His mom annoyed the crap out of me; I don't care how worried she gets, a good parent should actually listen to their child. And a sure-fire way to drive him towards the kind of life his father led is to constantly remind him of it. "Don't turn out like your scum-sucking father, Nick." Stop telling him that you think it's a d More...

While I have been a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon's "Dark Hunters" series, I must admit that this book didn't do all that much for me. In all honesty I was quite confused by this book, I don't fully understand how a young adult who has most likely never have read Sherrilyn's "Dark Hunters" series as it is an adult series that is packed full of blood, sex, and gore (subject matters that are not as prevalent in YA literature), would be able to comprehend exactly what was going o More...

I have said before I am a huge fan of Kenyon. I have read almost the entire Dark-Hunter series. So when I heard about The Chronicles of Nick. It peaked my interest! I am not one to read a synopsis if I already enjoy the author's writing. I just assume I will enjoy the book. So about 50 pages into the book, I had to hit myself in the forehead with a *DUH*! Nick is the same Nick from the Dark-Hunter series but younger. I have always wondered why Nick was the way he was in those books. It was a nic More...

Review Written by Michelle @ Reading Lark

Ok, confession time – I am in love with Nick Gautier. Give me 14 year old, wise-cracking Nick, or dark, broody Dark Hunter series adult Nick - I love them all and in this series you get both. Today I’m talking about the Chronicles of Nick, the YA series by Miz Sherrilyn Kenyon, which scribe Nick’s earlier years; with a twist.

If you have gotten to know Nick in the Dark Hunter series (as in an adult, please for the love of Liza, do N More...

Nick is a 14-year old living with his single mom in New Orleans. His mom works as a stripper to support them, while her heart-of-gold co-workers act as a surrogate family for her and Nick. His dad is a convicted felon whose cruelty has worked to turn Nick the opposite direction. Doing everything he can to help his mother, Nick grits his teeth and bears it from the bullies at his high-class private school, where he suffers the indignities heaped up him by the rich kids and the snooty staff as More...
