I loved this book. It had attitude and while the whole story wasn’t that great, the characters were awesome. Definitely good for a laugh.

The characters were uniquely good. The main characters were pretty funny, but my favorite characters were Tabitha, who had some serious kick butt skills, and Simi, because, well, I’m known to like the crazy ones who tend to stick in the background!

I loved the way the book was written. It flowed well and kept me ‘tuned in’ to what was happening so that I wasn’t left in the dark. I knew exactly what was happening, but at the same time I was also completely naive as to what was going to happen next.  

Favorite part – The Bubba and Mark slapping spree when poor Nick got the head slapping of his life from them. Hilarious!

I absolutely adored the ending. It didn’t go on and on but didn’t leave you sitting there and wondering what the hell? A nice and simple read.

One thing you have to say about Sherrilyn Kenyon is that she writes very, very, well; Infinity is no exception to that rule.

If you are a follower of her mammoth adult series the Dark Hunters then this story may be a little confusing in places, particularly if you miss the prologue, so I’m going to repeat it here:

... by keeping his deepest secrets, my best friend betrayed me and turned me into the darkness I have come to embrace. Our fates and destinies were mashed together by a freak even that happened when I was a kid, and I curse the day I ever called Acheron Parthenopaeus my friend.
I am Nick Gautier.
And this is my life and how things should have been...

You also will need to have read up to the book Archeron, or run the risk of spoilers in the Dark Hunter series.

However, all parallel universe/alternate reality aside, this is a great fun light-ish read, written with Kenyons signature style, and highly amusing quips.

The story is 14 year old Nick Gaiuteirs introduction to the world of vampires and things that go bump in the night. For Dark Hunter fans, it fills in the gaps from this time. For new readers, I think it misses some of the drama that could have been found in the discovery that things that walk the night are real.

Infinity was also a little confusing in parts, but that is most likely coming from the point of view of a reader (and fan) of the Dark Hunter series, and the conflicting time lines. However, Nick is one of my favourite characters, so this series really is quite delightful.

We get some great characters, all with well defined personalities and quirks, and we get a few of the DH crew making appearances. One of the things I do like about Kenyon is her ability to write a story with numerous characters and still allow each to have their own voice. She also usually gives them quite distinct names making it easy to remember and tell them all apart – nothing worse than having your main characters called Alex, Alison and Alexandra, gets very confusing once you’ve added in nick-names)

Infinity is a ‘young adult’ book – so don’t expect series heat or violence. It’s not a romance (for all that Nick has a romantic interest), but it is a book about a 14 year old boy, who’s mum is a (heart-of-gold) stripper.  So there is a little implied steam, but it’s pretty mellow (actually, it’s less raunchy that the later Twilight books).

It’s also a book about vampires and demons and zombies, so there is a little violence. However, Kenyon doesn’t usually get to graphic with her fight scenes and, again, any violence is glossed over with the results of a cut or broken arm, rather than a description of a stabbing.

I got a shotgun and a backhoe and no one looks under a septic tank for a dead body.

Overall, Infinity is a great, light, fun read, that fans of the Dark Hunter series will either love or hate, but otherwise makes a fangtastic introduction to the Dark Hunter world and Sherrilyn Kenyon’s writing.
