Infinity (Chronicles of Nick, #1)
by Sherrilyn Kenyon
by Sherrilyn Kenyon
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.
Nick starts out as a loser. With his mom being a striper he ends up getting bullied all the time. One time some teen starts teasing Nick, he gets kicked out of school because of fighting that teen. That night he ends up in with some kids that tries to rob an old couple, he starts thinking this is not a good idea and ends up with the Teens beating the crap out of him, until Kyrian steps in. From there you’ll find there is someone after him and sending Zombies to kill him.
You’ll see a few D-H in here, even Artemis makes an appearance. There is a few new characters you’ll meet one is Bubba. I really liked Bubba, he has two rules 1. "Shoot first then ask questions". 2. "Double tap just for good Measure". "Better safe than sorry". Bubba adds a lot of humor. He is the reason I had added a star to this rating.
You’ll find a few things about Nick from the D-H’s told in more detail and some loose ends taken care of. But as a D-H reader I found Nick’s life not the same as portrayed as in the D-H books. Other than that I found the book dragged and was too boring. I want to stress if I was a YA reader that had never read the D-H series, my rating would be a lot higher.

I got mine last night at Sherrilyn's Infinity tour. I think the book is out today, I am not sure. Will do.
Great, let me know what you think with it once you finish it. I've been wondering about this series forever.
I'm still out on this one. I may take it down a few stars. I should never read YA! I normally dont, but I just had to find out. It does help tie up some lose ends about Nick but I dont think it was worth the read. I will have the review up by tomorrow afternoon.
I think some YA is good, like Maria V. Snyder's Poison Study, Magic Study and Fire Study. I really enjoyed those books. BUT, I agree that YA in general doesn't do it for me anymore.
YA is my cup of tea and I wouldn't rec this this. I've concluded from a lot of the crossover authors that romance/chicklit writers for the most part -cannot- pull it off. (Exception being R. Meade w/ Vampire Academy)
I liked it, and I don't usually like Kenyons overtly descriptive eroticism. I find it disgusting. But without the whole grotesque torture/sex thing I guess she isn't so bad.
