Synopsis:
Some zombies are raised. Others must be put down. Just ask Anita Blake.
Before now, she would have considered them merely off-putting, never dangerous. Before now, she had never heard of any of them causing human beings to perish in agony. But that’s all changed.
Micah’s estranged father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange ailment that has his doctors whispering about “zombie disease.”
Anita 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. And round and round it goes…
Where will it stop?
Even Anita Blake doesn’t know.
Affliction by Laurell K. Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Uh, yes! I always try to respect an author’s choice to take their books and their characters in whatever direction they see fit, but I have to admit that I love ass-kicking, zombie-raising Anita (and Edward; my fave books in the series always include Edward) way more than constant orgy Anita. I got the need for it at first, but I got over it. And to finally see her embrace the real necromancer inside… Go Anita!! And God did I miss Jean-Claude – shower scene and a proposal – YES!!
And to those “fans” giving it one star w/o having read it (and the ones among you that in turn complain about other fans giving it 4 or 5 stars before reading it), uh first of all, pot meet kettle, and second – your loss!
