Book Review: Infinity

Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon

This story is a young adult novel by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  This is an off shoot of her Dark-Hunter series.  In the Dark-Hunter series, Nick Gautier is an adult and a squire for the Dark-Hunter Kyrian.  As Kenyon's Dark-Hunter Series developed and becomes more and more, Nick's life takes a serious turn and twist.

The Chronicles of Nick series is starts off with Nick as a 14-year-old high school freshman and becomes a squire for Kyrian after Kyrian saves him from being killed.  This is where Nick gets pulled into the Dark-Hunter world and craziness ensues.  This series is a little different from the Dark-Hunter series because everything is brought up right away with everything within the dark-hunter world, plus Kenyon added in some zombies (it is set in 'Nawlin's so you have to have some zombies).  She also added in some regular characters from her adult novels but added in some eccentric new characters that help developed the story and plot.

If you're a fan of her adult novels, the transition to a young adult novel was seamless.  She still writes in her same style that fans of Kenyon are used to but writes it so that it is appropriate for young teenagers.  She didn't dummy down her writing in anyway, which I felt was good.

If you've never read a Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark-Hunter novel before this is a good one to pick up.  There is no romance or sex in the book (which is good since it's geared towards the younger market) so it's purely on the development of Nick's character and life.  If you have read one of Kenyon's adult Hunter series, you are not going to be spoiled for this series at all.

In the end, Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon was an amazing book.  I loved reading every word from beginning to end and can't wait to pick up the second book in the series.  It's action packed and I love that Kenyon is writing a story about a character that many of her readers fell in love with.  Because of Nick's age in the series I feel it is appropriate to make it a young adult novel.  It'll be interesting to see where she takes the series and if she'll make an adult novel for the character Nick Gautier.
