YA Review: Inferno: Chronicles of Nick [Hardcover]

I've finished "Inferno" the 4th book in her Nick Gautier series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Product Description

The heat is on, and a new threat to humanity has risen

Nick has his driver's license and he's not afraid to use it. But turning sixteen isn't what he thought it would be. While other boys his age are worried about prom dates and applying for college, Nick is neck deep in enemies out to stop him from living another day. No longer sure if he can trust anyone, his only ally seems to be the one person he's been told will ultimately kill him.

But life spent serving the undead is anything except ordinary. And those out to get him have summoned an ancient force so powerful even the gods fear it. As Nick learns to command and control the elements, the one he must master in order to combat his latest foe is the one most likely to destroy him. As the old proverb goes, fire knows nothing of mercy, and if Nick is to survive this latest round, he will have to sacrifice a part of himself. However, the best sacrifice is seldom the sanest move. Sometimes it's the one that leaves your enemies confused.

And sometimes, you have to trust your enemy to save your friends. But what do you do when that enemy is you?

My Review:

Nick Gautier is now 16 years old and he has gotten his drivers license.  He is bummed out because he has just learned his girlfriend Kody was sent to kill him so he breaks up with her.

Then Casey a cheerleader starts coming onto him and his confidence starts going up and it looks like they might hook up romantically.  It looked like Brynna was interested in him as well.

Acheron played a big role and it was great to see their friendship grow though it's sad that we know what happens in the future.  We learn more about the background of some of the characters Kody and Caleb and we are introduced to some new characters like Tiyana another Devereaux sister.

The book ended with a cliff hanger and I can't wait to read the next one to find out what happens!

4/5
