Inferno by Sherrilyn Kenyon is the fourth book in her
Chronicles of Nick series. Kenyon,
usually a paranormal romance author, changed gears a little with this series to
write a young adult series. One of the
things I love is that it is still in the same world as her Dark Hunter
series. I also love the voices and
characters she creates in this world.
Kenyon has taken one of her more loved characters in the
Dark Hunters world and went back in time to tell his story starting as a
freshman in high school. In this
installment, Nick, her main character, is working hard not to become a monstrous
demon that is his legacy. Rather
challenging when Nick is also sixteen and learning to drive. He’s also doubting his ex-girlfriend, who is
not entirely human and charged with killing Nick but swears she won’t, and
questioning the intentions of his best friend who is another demon working for
more than one boss.
There are several things, aside from what I’I've already mentioned,
that I love about this series. It is a
totally different tone, very appropriate for teenagers. The characters are still true to the Dark
Hunter world that she originally created for adults. And, there is something difficult to define
quality that keeps drawing me back to this world and the characters.
I would definitely recommend this series. It’s a great, easy read that has wit and
humor that draws you in. And it has
zombies, complete with flamethrower wielding zombie hunters.
