The heat is on, and a new threat to humanity has risen....
Nick has his driver's license and he's not afraid to use it. But turning 16 isn't what he thought it would be. While other boys his age are worried about prom dates and applying for college, Nick is neck deep in enemies out to stop him from living another day. No longer sure if he can trust anyone, his only ally seems to be the one person he's been told will ultimately kill him. But life spent serving the undead is anything except ordinary. And those out to get him have summoned an ancient force so powerful even the gods fear it.
As Nick learns to command and control the elements, the one he must master in order to combat his latest foe is the one most likely to destroy him. As the old proverb goes, fire knows nothing of mercy, and if Nick is to survive this latest round, he will have to sacrifice a part of himself. However, the best sacrifice is seldom the sanest move. Sometimes it's the one that leaves your enemies confused.
And sometimes, you have to trust your enemy to save your friends. But what do you do when that enemy is you?

For as much as I read and listen you would think by now that I would know how to spell lol. I read at least 5 books a week there are times I have gotten up to 10 in a week.
"Best book yet!"
Well DUH! Holter Graham is the best narrator that ever lived!
Nick....always feeling as if he has to save the world but knows how easy it would be to say F*** it all and give in just to get a little break from all the trials.
He can bring a story to life were its like you are watching a movie rather then listening to a book.
Yes yes yes! And I did.
We get to see some old fav ppl and she introduces some new ones. There was love, betrayal, fights, and reunions! Everything you want in a book is in here.
Also had the best ending I have ever seen in a book. Sets the next book in the series up really well! I cant wait for the next book!!!
"Kenyon Does It Again! Nick Is Back!"
First and foremost, the stories about Nick are extremely entertaining...everything from demon rage to fumbling and embarrassed, Nick takes us all (readers) to places we've been and can relate to.
Second, please don't lose Holter Graham. He brings all of the dark hunter/Nick books to true life. It's amazing to realize after hearing the book that Holter never misses a beat, or voice even when switching from Nick's mom to Nick to Ash...what a talent!
Well, Ash is my first place character because he tries to mentor Nick through very trying circumstances without giving too much away about why he knew what he was talking about. Nick is smart enough to listen and remember.
Holter Graham's interpretation and voice. He renders power, awe, and pure embarrassment so realistically you all but feel a part of the scene being read. He is the perfect choice to read these books of Kenyon's.
Nick is back...badder than ever!
The only other thing to add is "Wow". Excellent book, characters are growing and there are always fresh plots...don't know how Sherrilyn Kenyon does it but I'm sure glad she does!
"Good sequel"
I've had hundreds so I'd put this series in the thirties, which is saying a lot for me. In this series it self I give it second place. A lot happens in this one and significant changes finally occur and some emotional scenes for the characters.
Nick, always Nick. With Artemis a second in this book. Which is awesome since she only had one or two scenes. But in those few scenes a lot of character development took place.
She brings a great performance in attitude, accents and saying the words the way the probably should be said and not how I'd think they should be said if I just read the book.
Yes, but I can't say since it would be a major spoiler for the book.
"Another Winner for Kenyon"
While I'm sure the printed version is excellent, the narration of Holter Graham adds to the story. His voices are fantastic and really bring the story to life. He does the female voices so well that I never notice that a male is voicing the parts.
This book is just a continuation of Infinity, Invincible, and Infamous. Each was better than the previous and Inferno is the best of the four. Nick is maturing but he still has problems with his powers. Being a teenager is difficult enough without the added pressure that he might one day destroy the world.
Holter Graham's performances are always flawless. He has narrated many Kenyon books and they are all wonderful.
Like many other listeners/readers, I think the epilogue is a little strange and frustrating. I'm looking forward to seeing how Sherrilyn Kenyon resolves this.
This is a YA book, but I have never felt that Kenyon writes down for her young adult audiences. This book series shows that it isn't necessary to have sex scenes to be an entertaining book. I do think this book should be read after the other three CON books. I believe it would be pretty confusing to jump into this book without first reading the other three.
"Nick just keeps getting better."
Sherrilyn Kenyon is one of my favorite authors for her ability to continue to grow a world and keep me interested after over 20 books.
The humorous dialog and crazy wonderful Cajun accent of the narrator and me looking like a crazy person laughing by myself in my car.
The Chronicles of Nick is a reboot of the world while still keeping every charecter we love and getting to see them in a continuing story line. I hope the series keeps going well into Nicks adulthood.

"Lost me more than once"
Yes I'm looking forward to the next installment of the 22 book series
I don't know she switched back and from future to present Nick so many times it gave me whiplash
Nick's mother
Yes it would be a blast
I can't wait to find out how Nick gets out of the mess he was in at the end of the book
