Goodreads Summary:
At fourteen, Nick Gautier thinks he knows
everything about the world around him. Streetwise, tough and savvy, his quick
sarcasm is the stuff of legends. . .until the night when his best friends try
to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior who has more fighting skills than
Chuck Norris, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters: immortal
vampire slayers who risk everything to save humanity.
Nick quickly learns that the human world is only a veil for a much larger and more dangerous one: a world where the captain of the football team is a werewolf and the girl he has a crush on goes out at night to stake the undead.
But before he can even learn the rules of this new world, his fellow students are turning into flesh eating zombies. And he's next on the menu.

that?
Review:
Warning: this review will be gushing good
things and may bring my inner teen girl come out.
I absolutely loved this book. It was amazing. I
have not read any of Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series but I may need to invest in
them to get my Acheron! This book had everything I want in a book. Humor lots
of humor, so much humor I was in tears at times. Action, I mean zombie
fighting, ghoul fighting, knives, guns, ect fighting. Mystery and darkness from a hot male (Acheron) and a little bit of
romance (not involving Acheron thank goodness, I want him all to myself) And so much more!
So Nick is the main character, which is the
teen version of the main character in the author’s adult series. He is 14 and
is brand spanking new to the world of creep. He is thrown into action and finds
out quickly that things that go bump in the night do exist. He is funny,
sarcastic, and a little rebellious with a side of manners. Nick’s mother is
around for parts of the book and is a very little, strong, and very protective
over Nick. We then have Acheron…. Oh there are not enough words in the world to
describe Acheron. He superior, he is bossy, he is intelligent, he is impatient,
he is rich, and he is HOT! No need to say more. Then there is Simi. She is the
absolute funniest and most unique
character that has ever existed in my world. She loves Tabasco sauce, humans,
and Acheron. She is the one that had me in tearful laughter.
So to sum it up we have is a hot guy, funny
boy, Tabasco human loving creature, zombie fighting, and of course world saving
story. Sound good? It was OMG amazing. I
hope everyone who reads it enjoys it as much as I did. This is a for sure a series
to keep on my shelf!
Rating:
The second book review this morning where I am familiar with the author in an adult book sense and see they are writing YA. Very interesting!
