INFERNO, the fourth book in the Chronicles of Nick
series,
makes a tremendous leap towards Sherrilyn Kenyon's endgame.
Nick Gautier learns Nikoda's "Kody's" true identity and now
is at his most vulnerable state. This is where Casey enters,
a cheerleader who intrigues Nick enough to want to keep her
around. As Nick's romantic life has its ups and down, on the
larger scale of things, Kenyon still focuses on the fact
that someone is targeting both Nick and his father for the
Malachai mojo. Kenyon makes some groundbreaking progress in
terms of development, which helps maintain the momentum of
the series.
In this instalment, readers are once again faced with
Cherise Gautier, Nick's mother who continues to wreak havoc
in his life. Cherise is possibly the most annoying character
in the series, but she also holds a candle to her son and
because of that, I was respect Nick's loyalty. I predict I'm
not alone in my love/hate view on her character.
INFERNO ends in a big way but there is still much to come. I
suspect there will be a divide between the views on the
epilogue as some readers will love it while others will be
confused on the road Kenyon seems to be taking. However, I
will give Kenyon the benefit of the doubt and read Illusion.
Packed with action and twists, INFERNO is the best in the
series so far!
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?
