YA Review: Infinity (Nick Chronicles #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Infinity (Nick Chronicles #1)
by Sherrilyn Kenyon


Description:
At fourteen, Nick Gautier thinks he knows everything about the world around him. Streetwise, tough and savvy, his quick sarcasm is the stuff of legends. . .until the night when his best friends try to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior who has more fighting skills than Chuck Norris, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters: immortal vampire slayers who risk everything to save humanity.

Nick quickly learns that the human world is only a veil for a much larger and more dangerous one: a world where the captain of the football team is a werewolf and the girl he has a crush on goes out at night to stake the undead.

But before he can even learn the rules of this new world, his fellow students are turning into flesh eating zombies. And he's next on the menu.

As if starting high school isn't hard enough. . .now Nick has to hide his new friends from his mom, his chainsaw from the principal, and keep the zombies and the demon Simi from eating his brains, all without getting grounded or suspended. How in the world is he supposed to do that?


My Review:
Absolutely recommended!

Loved Nick's character. He's lippy, good natured, and charming, but also good at getting into trouble. His mom's awesome, especially her mom threats. Mark and Bubba, so funny.

And, add in the threat of football player zombies, dark powers, and an evil that wants to turn Nick into something that threatens the future of the world and you have one fantastic read.

I loved this story. Strongly recommended for fans of YA paranormal with plenty of humor and danger.

I borrowed the audiobook from the library, and I must say that I would totally recommend this format if you can get it. I adored the narrator's performance. Every character is unique in the story and the narrator channels them perfectly, especially the ones I mentioned above. Love it!
