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?
Nick Gautier has just turned sixteen, but unlike his classmates, this sarcastic teenager doesn't spend much time thinking about prom dates or intramural sports. As the son of the Malachai, he must live out a destiny in which he will either destroy the world or save it. Surrounded by savage enemies and enigmatic friends, he attempts to live out his fate or at least survive until tomorrow.
In the past three years, New York Times bestselling author SHERRILYN KENYON has claimed the #1 spot sixteen times. This extraordinary bestseller continues to top every genre she writes.

I am very upset that I ordered this book and paid for it and can't read it on my Nook!! Why have it available to preorder if you can't read it on your Nook?? I have read all of this authors books and was patiently waiting for this one that was next in the series and it was supposed to be available March 19th and yet it is not available to read! I hope it is going to available or I want my money back!

First off Kenyon is my absolute favorite author! True this book had a lot of lecturing about Nick finding himself and gaining self confidence but it was still a great read. I know alot of people have not liked the ending where Nick wakes up at a Prom and everyone is normal including himself and at first I was puzzled too. But just before he fell a sleep, a voice whispered be careful what you wish for.... Nick wished to be a normal guy. About a page and a half before the voice, Zavid asked him why he saved him and what did he want from it. He told Zavid that he wanted to be a normal guy. The epilogue is him waking up to a normal life just like he wished for. Yes it was a strange ending and no I wasn't thrilled to have it end like that without more detail but I have read Kenyon for a long time and she always resolves these issues. I can't hardly wait until the next book in this series. As an avid DH fan, I already see the DH world coming through in these YA books.

As always, a good read. Some parts were a bit redundant. The ending just just leaves you saying " what the heck." Hopefully it won't be too long before the next book comes out

Sherrilyn Kenyon is a brilliant writer. However, Barnes and Noble I would not classify her books in the teen section. These books have lot of adult situations that are not for teens.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!!!!!!
I have read all of Ms. Kenyon's Dark Hunter series, so I was excited that she was going to tell Nick's story (even though it is a young adult series). With a talent only Ms. Kenyon could muster, she has told his story amazingly!!
I love the hotness of her adult series, and this is soooo mild in comparison; however, that being said, her storytelling is what I love most. I was sooo heartbroken when Nick's mom died in the Dark Hunter series, and I love that she is trying to go back and change that story line here in this series.
This has been a great series, and yet again has left me with a cliffhanger to wait till the next story is told. AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! Please don't wait too long for the next installment. I guess now I just have to wait for STYXX (the next Dark Hunter book). Keep them coming Ms. Kenyon -- love them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-- SPeeD
You must understand, I AM A HUGE SHERRILYN KENYON FAN! I read every Dark Hunter book and most of her other books so when she came out with this young adult off shoot of the Dark Hunters, I sucked them right up. I read this book totally for me, I wanted it, I bought it and now I’m going to tell you why I loved it.
1) ½ Evil Demon or not, Nick is just an all around awesome guy. Yes, he’s conflicted but what teenager isn’t without having a demon threat over their heads.
2) Ash, yup he’s here in all his yumminess!
3) Simi – I think she should get her own series, how can you not love a 11,000+ year old demon child and Goth chick fashionista.
4) Nick’s mom – who wouldn’t want the over protective, crazy obsessive, I’d do anything for my child mom. She shows complete and udder devotion and love for her son. This is a spoiler for those of you that didn’t read Dark Hunter (view spoiler).
5) This series has every kind of supernatural including but not limited to gods, goddesses, demons, shifters, voodoo priestesses, crazy radical humans and so much more. It is a complete thrill for any paranormal enthusiast.
Ok, Ok, I could keep going, but I’m going to stop there. If you want to read an incredible young adult, male perspective, paranormal adventure, check out this fabulous book written by this incredibly talented author Sherrilyn Kenyon. And yes, I do have to check every time I spell her name – I apparently can’t handle the slightly original spelling.
What an ending! Leaving us out there wanting more.

If you' ve like the first three of the series, your gonna like this one! I love Sherrilyn Kenyon as much as I love James Patterson! She is the best author ever. If you get this book, read the FIRST three before you read this one.

SPOILER ALERT!
Really? It was all a dream? I was amused by the differences in the characters when Nick woke up, but this cannot be the way the series ends. Was it really all a dream, or did Nick's (or Adarian's) actions just create another reality? Or, did Artemis and the god of order do something to change things?
Anyway, I enjoyed the book, but I am disappointed in the lack of character development with some of the secondary characters (Zavid, Hel, etc.). The author could have saved a few pages by leaving out Brynna's excessively long manifesto and used those pages for some character development. Oh, and a few sentences explaining the blood in Nick's apartment would have been nice. Adarian's sacrifice seemed a little rushed, and left me without a sense of closure.

I love Kenyon's books. They are all good reads. I cant wait for the next book. It will be neat to find out how she ties the Nick books with the DH series Nick.

The book was good, but I felt like the author was holding back. It just didn't seem as good a book as the ones before it. She did talk about Nick's feeling more (which I can relate too), but I had already thought that Nick had most of that figured out. After reading the whole series, I hope that book #5 will talk more on Kody's past and involve her more. I did like the ending though as a twist is always great to see, but it felt abruptly halted at the end.

Another great book about Nick fighting his inner malachai. Nick really finds himself in this book.
