Invincible (Chronicles of Nick Series #2)

Sherrilyn Kenyon's fans of all ages will enjoy Nick's efforts to survive high school and a world turned paranormally upside down.

New Orleans high school student Nick Gautier has not had an easy laid-back life as he and his mom live in abject poverty while his father resides in prison convicted of murder. He attends a private school, but has no friends as he fails to fit in with the affluent social scene.

Until yesterday Nick assumed he was a normal disenchanted teenage outcast. His perspective was devastated when he learned that the supernatural exist. His boss is a Dark Hunter and near the place where his mom strips, shapeshifters surrounded him. Nick has powers though in the embryonic stage, but two sides want him, dead or alive. The Meloch, his Uncle Ambrose guides him to make the right choice. Nick fears what his Uncle Ambrose teaches him in the use of his powers. The demon Caleb and the Chthonian Xenon are Nick's guardians who try to steer him to make the right choices. Xenon, known as Kody helps Nick try to stop a demon from slaughtering people. Now if they somehow survive he hopes she will be his girlfriend, but then again he hopes not.

The latest Chronicles of Nick in his teenage urban fantasy (see Infinity) is a creative intriguing off shoot of the Dark Hunter Saga similar in concept to the F, Paul Wilson's Young repairman Jack series. Nick is a good soul, but the dark powers want to turn him to manipulate him to assault humanity. While unanswered questions remain, fans will want to know how his destiny plays out especially if this freshman finally gets a girl who is not trying to kill him? With an action-packed story line, Sherrilyn Kenyon's fans of all ages will enjoy Nick's efforts to survive high school and a world turned paranormally upside down.

I love the author but this was not the best.

I have read the entire Dark Hunter series and the entire Chronicles of Nick series. I have to say that first off this book seems short to me. I wanted much more. I also thought that this book has two purposes. One purposes is to progress the overall Dark Hunter story and introduce new characters. The other purpose is to tell the story of Nick as a child. These two purposes do not come together in a cohesive way. Part of the book is spent discussing what Nick is and why things happened they way they did. The other part of the book is this football coach story. The second part only serves to push the characters into confessions they didn't seem to want to make. I would appreciate if she could tie in the current experiences with how they shape Nick's future a little better.

Remember...it's for YOUNG readers!

I've devoured SK's Dark/Dream/Were Hunter novels and was thrilled to see her planning to delve into Nick's past. I have a 14 year old son, myself, and I love introducing him to characters I love (Harry Potter, anyone?). I knew that all the steamy stuff in the DH books wouldn't go over well with him (or with ME thinking about HIM reading sex scenes) but...

I'm just not sure how much he's gonna "get" by reading this 'cold'. *I* had no problem picking right up on Nicky's story. I knew right away who Ambrose was, curious what Nekoda might be up to, picked up on the name-dropping as related to squire families, etc... I just don't know how a(n) SK 'virgin' won't be pretty confused for most of the first book and half of the second.

All that said-- I did like both of them so far... and look forward to #3! Go Nicky, we're rootin' for ya!

You have to read this!!

I was unable to stop reading this!! This book has what ever you want: Comedy, Horror, Mystery, Action, Romance, and much more! This book kept me up at night and I couldnt rest untill I finnished it. Nick is one of those characters that make you laugh so loud that people around you think "What is wrong with person!?" I have enjoyed and almost ate the book *wink*. As nick grows stronger and becomes more self aware he also gets closer to Nekoda (aka Kody). Lots of new characters are featured and Death himself comes to pay Nick a visit. Even Nick's mom gets another chance in life and begins to make something of herself. While Nick stuggles to learn to controle his powers we see a whole new side of Ambrose who reveals why he really came to the past and hints at some other events in the future. My favorite lines from this book were: "I know this clown," Grim said in an evil tone. "He keeps teasing me with these near death experiences. One day, I'm going to take his butt down even when I'm not supposed to. You can't keep knocking on my door and then slamming it im my face. It's just not right." Lol even Death has a sences of humor!!! Ayway I totally recomend this book to any fantasy fan and to the fans of all the other genres that I listed before. But before reading this book you have to read the first in the series Called: Infinity. You have to read this!!

I give it an 7 out of 10.

Ok, so for you who are familiar if Sherrilyn Kenyon's books you may be a little disappointed. Its Nick how Nick should have been but there are differences. There is still the odd sexual tension but on a teenage level which even though I just got out of that stage in my life, I still feel a little creepy reading about a girl wanting to do a 14 year old, but that's just me. The book isn't as informative as all her other books and of course just like the 1st book in this series, the end is pretty epic. You still hear from Acheron and Kyrian, but mostly it goes around Nick and all the forces trying to win him over. All around it is a good read and has some super funny/witty Nick humor in it, so over all its a 7.
For those who are NOT familiar with Sherrilyn Kenyon's books this will probably be a good book. But seeing as your haven't read her other books how would you know?

Synopsis

Taken directly from Sherrilyn Kenyon's Website


Just when he thought things couldn't get any worse...

Nick Gautier's day just keeps getting better and better. Yeah, he survived the zombie attacks, only to wake up and find himself enslaved to a world of shapeshifters and demons out to claim his soul.

His new principal thinks he's even more of a hoodlum than the last one, his coach is trying to recruit him to things he can't even mention and the girl he's not seeing, but is, has secrets that terrify him.

But more than that, he's being groomed by the darkest of powers and if he doesn't learn how to raise the dead by the end of the week, he will become one of them...

Ohh my

Many purists may be saying this isnt right bc Kenyon is chaning nick but if youve read ALL DH books you will understand why. Just trust Sherrlyn Kenyon knowing her she has something huge in her bag of tricks

Worth reading if you love Kenyon

Better for the younger crowd. I love the series in which the character Nick was born. However this series is for the teens.

Yay

I would love to see this series as a movie but one thing i saw was the authors mistake of changing kody to cody but this gappened only once so i was fine with it

Amazing!!

Its for young readers but when my mom said he didnt like the sex stuff in it i just laughed!
I loved her book bad moom rising and love the chronicles of nick!
Im 13 and love to read but my friend doesnt. When i gave him this book he didnt want to give it back! He read like he was playing a video game so that just tells how good it is!
Love much,
CAM

To the writer of this book...

The spelling of Kody perioticly changed to Cody. Also you switch points of veiw without any indication that you are doing so. This book really confused me.

Loved it!

This is one of the best books in the series. It helps you to find out who Nick real is and how he came about.

Amazing!

Loved it!

I am a loyal fan of Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series and was thrilled when she started writing Nick's story. The Chronicles are not as racy as the Dark Hunter novels but that may change as he ages in his own story. I love how Kenyon's stories are fast paced and easy to identify the characters. It makes for some of the easiest and enjoyable reading I have done.

Not very well written.

Not one of my favorite Kenyon book! I love her Dark Hunter series, I dont kow what to make of this book. It was boring!

Invicible

I loved this book! I can't wait for the next one! The first book was really great too. This book has a fast pace and is filled with action.

Nick Vs Homicidal Football Coach

This book reveals a little more of the world Kenyon painted for us is the first book as well as that of the Dark-Hunters. You learn as you go along that you can't judge a book by its cover and that the smallest decisions - turning left instead of right - can effect our lives, our very destinies, in unforeseen ways.

In this book you meet new friends and learn more about old ones as Nick faces off with a homicidal football coach. There are plenty of twists and turns on this crazy ride. I enjoyed every minute of it. Can't wait for the next book.
