inFinity - The Chronicles of Nick


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?

Review:

This is another young adult book. But as young adult books go I think this was one of the better. The main character is a typical boy. I was getting frustrated with the other teen books and how the boy or girl would find their true love at the age of 14 and how they just can't live without them. With Nick he is the typical boy who likes girls in general and is sometimes to shy to talk to them. I liked the fact that there was more to the book than romance. The story was more about Nick and the struggles that a teenage boy and his mother go through. I do recommend this book because it is a quick fun read. Nick's sarcasm is a nice refreshing attitude to all the bad things that are going on in his life.
