Synopsis

Fourteen-year-old Nick Gautier doesn't have it easy. With a single mom struggling to make ends meet, his secondhand clothes aren't exactly making him popular with the 'in' crowd at school. No, Nick fits in much better on the streets of New Orleans-at least until his so-called friends turn on him! Rescued by the mysterious Kyrian of Thrace, Nick suddenly finds himself indoctrinated into a bizarre supernatural world, that of the Dark-Hunters, where he discovers that life isn't nearly so 'normal' as it once seemed. Zombified classmates and flesh-hungry demons are bad enough, but it's the dark hints about Nick's own future that are the most troubling things of all...

From Booklist:

Nick is struggling to survive, caught between bullies who make fun of his stripper mother and the street thugs who want to draw him into their crimes. When he’s rescued by a mysterious rich man, Nick discovers a paranormal world beyond his imagining. This adaptation of Kenyon’s YA novel, Infinity (2010), is breathlessly paced, not always in a good way. Scenes shift rapidly, and there are a wide variety of paranormal creatures that are insufficiently explained. Add to that the multitude of characters—no less than 25 major players in one volume—and the result is chaotic. Ahn’s art does its best to keep up with lots of motion lines and dramatic angles. The characters are manga pretty, and Ahn does a good job of making them look their ages. This is a secondary purchase for teen collections, and be aware that some outfits skirt the edge of what might be acceptable in a middle-school setting. Grades 9-12. --Snow Wildsmith
