Audio Review: Intensity by Sherrilyn Kenyon
It’s a demon-eat-demon world for Nick Gautier. Just when he thinks he’s finally gotten a handle on how not to take over the world and destroy it, Death returns with an all-star cast that is determined to end the Malachai reign and lineage forever. Worse? Death and War have found the one, true enemy Nick can’t find, and even if he did, it’s one he could never bring himself to banish or kill.
Now framed for murders he hasn’t committed, and surrounded by new friends who might be turncoats, Nick is learning fast how his father went down in flames.
The heat in New Orleans is rising fast, and Nick’s threat-level has gone into a whole new level of intensity. He’s learning fast that when War and Death decide to battle, they don’t take prisoners. The don’t negotiate. And they’re both immune to his biting sarcasm and Cajun charm. To win this, he will have to embrace a new set of powers, but one wrong step, and he will belong to the side of Darkness, forever.
After years following Nick Gautier's life, I was always asking myself how this series was going to tie up with the DH timeline. Like always I am lost as to who is who's dad, mom, uncle, grandma, sister, cousin, etc. but it was still an enjoyable read since I learned to ignore the characters connections with one another early on.
This is the last book of the CoN series and Nick is looking for a way to stop Cyprian and change once and for all the destiny that he'll bring about with his legacy. And as with the previous books, the kid is lost as to what went wrong and how to go about fixing it.
We get a lot less interaction with other "main" characters like Kody and Caleb but I think that's why it all worked in the end to start the transition from CoN to DH. That being said Kenyon has now transition this series into the next spinoff which is a series of books telling Cyprian's story.
I am looking forward to reading more of this world and can't wait to read the next installment in the DH series.
