Product 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?

 Blows Twilight Away May 28, 2010

As a die-hard DH fan, I had SERIOUS trepidation about this book. I have to say the last few books that followed after Acheron up to now were painful reads. Painful and frustrating. So, when Kenyon decided to jump on the Twilight bandwagon with teen paranormal fiction/romance, I'd pretty much thrown in the towel. I honestly didn't think we could get a good story without hot Dark Hunters traversing the streets of Anytown, USA and I was furious with Kenyon for MONTHS over what I was sure was going to be a literary debacle.
Okay, I was wrong and I take it all back.
Firstly, for those of you moaning about "eww, it's YA", read the dang cover! Sherri has said for MONTHS this was teen fiction, so man up and deal with it. Blame yourself for not keeping up with the DH Universe.
Secondly, the book was flipping awesome. It was PURE Sherri from cover to cover. It has everyone in the DH Universe we all know and love plus some really new and interesting characters, too. THIS is what teen fiction should be, a nonstop roller-coaster ride with unexpected curves, dips and twists that keeps you turning pages. Though it's toned down for the teen audience, don't think that Sherri compromised on wit, humor, or action. It's all there. It's the old Sherri we know from before Acheron. (Not sure what happened to the books after that, but I'll forgive her anything because Infinity flippin' rocks!)
Thirdly, the CD set is narrated by Holter Graham. HOW MUCH BETTER CAN IT GET? I haven't been this happy over a DH book SINCE Acheron. Finally, some teen fiction that has soul, character development, humor. It doesn't take itself seriously like Twilight (die already!) or Vampire Academy. Infinity blows them ALL out of the water and I feel the DH fever again.
You proved me wrong, Sherri. I'm sorry I lost faith in you, but you came through, babe. You nailed it with Infinity!
Great back story May 26, 2010

I didn't realize this was a young adult novel, but it doesn't matter, it is another great book from Sherrilyn Kenyon. I automatically bought it, but I would have done the same if I'd known, as it's the back story of Nick, a very important figure in this world. We got to see the back story of Acheron, why not Nick?
VERY interesting June 3, 2010

I know there are many mixed reviews out there and I noticed a lot of the low ratings are from people who have read the author's previous books. I did not realize this was a spin off and i had misgivings picking it up at first because it didn't look like the usual books i like but i have to admit Infinity totally sucked me into the story.It was well written in my opinion. The cast of characters were great and I really liked Nick. I don't really know about the DH series but I'm sure if Infinity was the first book you read AND you actually like YA books then this is a great story. oh and the zombies thing that some people complained about kinda entertained me. Actually, its why i picked it up because i have a weird thing for zombie flicks and the back cover mentioned zombies.
Fab read!!! May 27, 2010

At the end of the day, most DH fans are adults, but we all know and love Nick. You can't help it and I'm glad that the story was written this way instead of being written like Acheron. I don't normally read YA books, but I have read a few and hearing that the prose didn't flow was disheartening. Having read all the DH books, more than once, I can't think of any other way to start Nick's series; he was a human kid that got caught up in a supernatural world, became friends with "the wrangler" of the group, a few really bad things happened and now we are getting Nick's point of view in his back story. I think that's the most important thing to remember...if you are expecting this to read like a DH novel, you will be disappointed; but if you go into it knowing that it is Nick's story you will enjoy it immensely!!! Thanks to Ms. Kenyon, for another amazing story!!!

I wasn't expecting nick's story to be almost totally about his youth but,....i must say i thoroughly enjoyed the read!!
Btw nick and his mother.... i tell ya...i was laughin my socks off!...nick was constantly in the dog house...and his smart mouth!.....i simply loved it!
simi was a sight for sore eyes...im always glad to see her.
although the book wasnt what i expected(meaning i thought it would touch more on his adult life).....if your a dark-hunter fan like myself... you will enjoy the chronicles anyway!...its a hoot!..luv ya Mrs Kenyon!!!
