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:

Nick, is an average teen trying to survive the years of high school and it seems he finds nothing but trouble.  Usually I pass on YA’s they just do not hold my attention that is until Infinity came out.  If you read Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter series then you are already familiar with Nick.  I love Nick but lately I have hated seeing Nick in his state, however, reading Infinity brought his past to light and showed him in the way we all love him.

Infinity is full of surprises and left me with my mouth hanging open.  Even though you already know what happens to Nick you can’t help but want to read about how he met Kyrian and Ash.  It also shows Nick’s mother as a stripper who teaches Nick to be honorable and respectable.  I was more than glad to see his mother again.

It also shows high school for what it is.  It brought me back to the days where I was in high school all those years ago minus anything supernatural of course.

I cannot wait for Invincible next year.
