Affliction

An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Novel

By: Laurell K. Hamilton

Narrated by: Kimberly Alexis

In a world where zombies roam freely, Anita Blake, a renowned expert, finds herself facing a terrifying new threat.

Anita Blake makes her living off of zombies—but these aren’t the kind she knows so well. These creatures hunt in daylight, and are as fast and strong as vampires. If they bite you, you become just like them.

Micah’s estranged father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange ailment that has his doctors whispering about “zombie disease.”

What could this mysterious disease be? Where will it stop? Even Anita Blake doesn’t know.

Critic reviews

Praise for Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novels:

“Long before Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series and Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse novels, [there was] sexy, strong-willed vampire hunter Anita Blake.”—USA Today

“Laurell K. Hamilton is the reigning queen of the urban fantasy world.”—Midwest Book Review

“Hamilton remains one of the most inventive and exciting writers in the paranormal field.”—Charlaine Harris

I am still a fan :)

I like the series, from the very first book all the way up to the current one. The first ones were like foreplay, the later additions are down to the nitty-gritty :) Anita just happens to indulge in a little more gritty than the rest of us. LOL

I know LKH has gotten a lot of negative reviews lately, but I liked the story. I got to visit with Ted/Ed who is one of my favorite characters. I always love her action scenes and with this rotten zombie, mini apocalypse, there were a lot of good ones. It is a little hard keeping up with all of Anita's lovers, but that is certainly not a complaint! :) Hot vampires and were-men are always a plus in my book. But then again I like a little erotica mixed in with my mystery :) I got to listen to Anita hunt the bad, kick butt, and save the day.

I guess I am confused with all of the negative comments about which direction the series is going in. If this is the direction that LKH wants to go and she is happy in her world, then stop using your credits for the price of admittance. The rest of us are just happy to be there. :)

Oh, and Kimberly Alexis I really enjoyed your voices. Your Anita voice was great!

This is a good, solid addition to the series. It was worth my credit!

Good story plot

This is another good book with a storyline / plot that is well formed - at least as well as Skin Trade. Some of the later books are absolute crap. She does tend to go on too much about defending the lifestyle which is boring so I skipped the long self-righteous talk sections.

Anita Blake as I Know and love. thank you LKH

I love the progression of this story. the way Anita let's go and solve all the problem of the book with self growth.

excellent read!

interesting new take on vampire lore and necromancer power. Could not put it down!

Loved it!

Like every book before it, I was excited to see Anita save the day but so sad when the book was over.

Very little sex & a lot of detective plot points

Finally, back to the original Anita Blake series. I skipped a ton of her books because of the lack of story and non-stop sexual encounters. I'm glad I came back to this one in particular. it's a good thing that LKH repeats lines in every book it let's me pick up on what I missed. especially all of the new were-animals.

Who's afraid of the big bad ...

Oh my zombies. Vampires. Wereanimals and snipers. A kicking wardrobe, eye candy hot scenes and a wicked truth moment. I need more. How many times have I read this series... not enough going to re read again. Love it.

Action packed

The story is fast movinh, and Anita never disappoints with plenty of hot steamy scenes with her many lovers.
