New Vampire Hunter Series

Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon

If you enjoy books about all things vampire then try this new series by popular adult author Sherrilyn Kenyon.

From the cover:

At fourteen, Nick Gauthier thinks he knows everything about the world around him. Streetwise, tough and savvy, Nick and his quick sarcasm are the stuff of legend...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.

This book has it all: vampires, werewolves, flesh-eating zombies, demons...

I love this last part of the description: As if starting high school isn't hard enough, now Nick has to hide his new friends from his mom, his chain saw from his principal and keep the zombies from eating his brains all without getting grounded or suspended.

Sounds promising for the first in a new series.
