The first book in Chronicles of Nick – a spin-off series from the best-selling Dark Hunter series, aimed at YA readers – age 14 to adult.

Teenager Nick Gautier thinks he knows everything. Streetwise, tough and savvy, his quick sarcasm is renowned. But his whole world is suddenly turned upside down on the night his best friends try to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters – immortal vampire-slayers who risk everything to save humanity – and he quickly learns that the human world is only a veil for a much larger and more dangerous one that's filled with all kinds of evil. However, before he can even learn the rules of this new world, his fellow students start turning into flesh-eating members of the undead. Nick knows he's in real danger and he soon has a lot more to deal with than starting high school: he's under pressure to hide his new friends from his mother and his chainsaw from the principal while trying to impress the girl he has a crush on – all without getting grounded, suspended…or killed.

Review

“..Kenyon, a bestselling fantasy author, moves into the young adult genre with this tale, the first in her young adult series, "Chronicles of Nick.” The fantasy integrates Greek mythology into the story of those who protect the living from the undead. Nick is a smart mouthed punk whose father is serving time for murder. Though he does not want to follow in Dad's footsteps, he is being drawn into a realm where evil has immortal consequences. There is more to Nick than even he knows. Young adult fans of the genre will appreciate the mix of humor and violence as the universal themes of good versus evil take on a creative twist. Indeed, zombies have never been hunted by so diverse a group as troubled Nick, beautiful Kody, and good ole boy Bubba." Reviewer: Janis Flint-Ferguson, Children's Li­terature
