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?

So this week is the #Gautierathon meaning I want to read the 5 books in the Chronicles of Nick series that are currently out. Infinity was an interesting start to the series. Nick is a great main character. I love his sarcasm and sassiness they really add to the story. Throughout this book there were quite a few times where I would become confused as to what exactly was going on. I'm not sure if this was because of the writing itself or because of how we as readers are being introduced to the characters and the world.
The book is incredibly fast paced. I think the actual plot/action spans just over a day, but yet so much happens. We have zombies, werewolves, daimons, vampires, goth gods, etc.
I have not read anything in the dark hunters series, but many people say you should if you read the Chronicles of Nick. I may have to get my hands on the Dark Hunters books depending on my thoughts during #Gautierathon.
As a Dark-Hunter fan I loved this book but I think if I were a newbie as I suspect a few teen readers would be who may pick up this book I don't think I would have loved this book that much.
As a fourteen year old Nick Gautier (Go•shay) is just as sarcastic, charming, and smartass as his adult self and just a little jaded. You can't really blame him for a being a little negative though because our Nick's had a rough life. He lives in a one bedroom condo with his single mom who has to work as a Bourbon stripper to support her and her son. The kids at school don't make his situation any better by picking on him for things he can't control and the teachers aren't all that sympathetic let alone nice. Nick's a tough kid though, an AP student on a scholarship who loves his mother. Of course remember Nick is still a smartass and once he mouths off the principal and gets himself suspended things start getting a lot more interesting. Read more
i had so much fun reading this!!! my only complaint is that nick does not act like a 14 year old boy.... not because he is constantly thinking about how hot all the girls are (because that's how a lot of 14 year olds are) but because he runs around town with a giant gun slinging computer hacker and his mom literally doesn't care lol
A-freaking-mazing!!!! I actually listened to the audiobook and loved everything about it!!
