How to Read the Chronicles of Nick Books

Read the eight novels in numbered order, from Infinity through Intensity. The author's official series page identifies Intensity as the final book in this YA sequence.

Chronicles of Nick shares characters and mythology with Sherrilyn Kenyon's adult Dark-Hunter world, but those books are a separate, more mature series rather than additional numbered Nick volumes.

For parents

What Parents Should Know

The books include demons, possession, spells, frightening creatures, fights, weapons, injuries, threats of torture, and character deaths. Nick also faces poverty, bullying, neglect, criminal activity, and adults who manipulate or endanger teenagers. Romance and sexual references are lighter than in the related adult Dark-Hunter books, but the supernatural violence and dark family history grow more intense across the series.
