Chronicles of Nick

By: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Length: 7 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

Like 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?

Critic reviews

“The imagination of Kenyon is a wonder to behold and an amazing place to visit!” —Romantic Times (Top Pick!)

“I have to admit that at the conclusion of the epilogue, I was already anticipating the next installment of the series...Mr. Graham was able to portray Nick beautifully and catch all of the eccentricities that abound in Infinity.” —TeensReadToo.com

“While action abounds, listeners are never sure who the good guys are and whether they should be rooting for Nick. Holter Graham successfully paces the action to keep things moving and gives voice to a myriad of non-human characters, most often in life-threatening, over-the-top situations, easily switching from the New Orleans lilt of Bubba to the sweet cadences of Nekoda, Nick's would be love interest.” —School Library Journal

Nick's Humor he's on fire!!! His humor is more concentrated then it ever was in the Dark-Hunter series. Not to mention all the juicy deets and insight you get into his life.

Which scene was your favorite?

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

There was no slow patches in this book. when the backstory got near that pace something unexpected happened or you found yourself laughing at Nicks humor.

Any additional comments?

intrigued with how far into Nicks backstory this is going to go and on which side his character might finally fall in the dark hunter series which parallels with this one in some ways.

Good book! Holter Graham does and amazing job at narrating this book. Love how he makes the charaters come together by giving them different voices!

A Fun Adventure

I do prefer reading books to listening to them, but the performance of this book is really good. I can’t wait for the next one!

Thank you

Loved it. This isn't the first time I have read Infinity. I like Mrs. Kenyon had a bad divorce and lost all my books. Now I am rebuilding my collection of all her books. Thank you Mrs. Kenyon for very well written books, that has kept me company.

Power center in New Orleans

Although this is a teen read. It was a great book. One thing is its a book that has a lot of powerful people on a small area. But it still was mad cool. A good quick read.

Awesome

IT IS FANTASTIC.
Sooooo cool. Best book ever I love it so much. This is an awesomely written book.
SWAG

I have missed the Dark Hunter universe!!

This book is a wonderful side story to the Dark Hunter series. It fills in the back story of Nick very well. I love that Simi was featured in the story!

14/15 Stars Full Review

As a lover of fantasy, mythology, engaging plots, vivid scenes, and memorable characters, this book was much better than I'm used to reading/listening to. Unfortunately I already listened to another book not knowing it was part of a series so some of the surprise was stolen from me. Regardless, it was an outstanding piece of work, and since I know what's going to happen already, I can recognize, and respect the excellent foreboding hints dropped throughout the book. Not to mention the heavy sarcasm does a great job of building a unique and rememberable character. The author did a great job of setting the scene and describing thoughts and portraying emotion. The plot had direction and the subplots helped develop the characters and further the main story. The narrator, in my personal opinion, was great. The main characters were distinguishable and the reading was practiced and understandable. That being said, there were a few rare times (two or three throughout the entire book) where I believe the narrator could've portrayed the intended emotion just a bit better. Just my personal thoughts.

Tl;dr, it was a great and detailed story with memorable characters with defining traits and a narrator who has obviously done this before. Will I get the next book? I've already downloaded the entire series.
