About a month ago, I had the great fortune to send my kids off to Houston for a weekend with my parents. The first night they were gone, Sherrilyn Kenyon was in New Orleans for a book signing, so I was able to go! She was so, so sweet, and I love that she loves New Orleans! I am a big Dark Hunter/Were Hunter fan, and although I confess I haven't read this book YET, I am planning to do so soon. While I was at the book signing I picked up an extra copy of Infinity and had her sign it for my Blogiversary celebration!
From the author's site:
At 14, Nick Gautier is an average kid who runs with the wrong crowd. But on the night he decides to go straight and refuses to mug an innocent tourist, his crew turns on him and just as he thinks his life is over... a new one begins.
Kyrian of Thrace isn't just a vampire slayer, he's a Dark-Hunter and he introduces Nick to a world that he never imagined.
With new enemies who make his old ones look like wimps, Nick must either measure up or get sized for a body bag. It's kill or be killed and this kid who was born on the wrong side finds a strength inside him that he never knew existed.
Now if he can only find someone to help battle the demons that don't reside inside him.
**Note to Dark-Hunter fans
The Chronicles of Nick *is* Nick’s real and true past. There is a huge surprise (several actually) in the book that I don’t want to spoil, but when you read the book, everything you think is an inconsistency will make perfect sense to you. More than that, you will understand exactly why Nick is the way he is and why he continues to hate Acheron the way he does. But you have to be patient. All will be clear on May 25, 2010.
Nick’s series will run until it intersects with Night Pleasures and then Nick will have his own novel in the Dark-Hunter world.

Paris, France would be the perfect home for a Vampire. Think of the feast offered by French culture and history! After all, wouldn't the blood run rich with excellent French wine and the flesh be full with fine French cuisine? Think of the wonderful Parisian skyline, eeriely beautiful by the light of the full moon! Home, sweet home : )

If I was a vampire, I would choose to live in NYC or LA. Both places sound awesome to be in as a vamp.

I've been eying this book since I first heard Kenyon was taking our beloved Nick to YA.
ReplyDeleteIf I was a vampire I would live in....London. One, it is always gloomy therefore no risk to being burned to a crisp. Two, I heart cute boys with British accents. It is a win win for me.
Psst I don't have a javascript thingy to put people's blog button on my site ::Sigh:: but you are linked under Blogs I heart xoxoxoxo.

I would live in Edinburgh, Scotland. Actually, I would live anywhere in Scotland! Vampires & kilts!
ReplyDeleteI'd want to live in New Orleans because it seems like that is where all the paranormal activity is at.

I'd want to live in a city way up North, somewhere in Norway or something so I would have long nights for 6 months and could sleep in for the other 6.
ReplyDeleteI think I would stay in Finland, and my town in the winter cos come on dark all day. But I'd move to New York in the summer cos at the moment we have 4 hours of night, and it sure isn't dark one hour of those
ReplyDeleteGreat post and giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd want to be in a wilderness type town in Maine I think. Seems like a good place for vampires (and some werewolves)to be hiding out!

New Orleans. The bayou, voo doo, swamps, vampires would just seem to fit in.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably live right here in Cleveland, because I think Cleveland could use the excitement. Maybe I'd open a vamp night club & really get this place hopping. ;)

I would choose to live in Nimrod, Minnesota because it's population is about 71 or something like that I can't remember but it's REALLY small. I have a friend who's been there and yup, teeny tiny. I would want to stay away from too many humans for fear of being discovered and hopefully I'm super rich so I can order some blood via black market through a "worker" or something hehe
