Micah’s estranged father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange ailment that has his doctors whispering about “zombie disease.”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. And round and round it goes…Where will it stop? Even Anita Blake doesn’t know.

"Affliction is such a good story wow action packed and gripping from the very first page were following Quinn and River two cousins who are surviving a zombie apocalypse at the family's old home, on Christmas night 4 friends take refuge in there home trying to get there friend help after being sick from the cold and Quinn's big hearted cousin river can't turn them away this book was such a fun, emotional, laugh out loud story and one I won't be forgetting anytime soon"
"Okay, the best part of the book... NO RICHARD! The action is decent, along with the smaller amounts of sex. I love the Anita Blake series, but the sex took up too much of the last few books for the series itself. I was disappointed that we didn't get to see much of Micah's family, but overall it was a good read."
"This is closer to having a plot than this series has seemed to require in a while, but it's so painfully repetitive. Characters insta-hate Anita, for all the same ol' same ol' reasons; a pile of lovers praise how great she supposedly is with relationships; she constantly swears it's no one's business who she's having sex with and then never actually makes sure it's no one else's business, yadda yadda. Threat wraps up in the last five pages with a big lazy handwave that just seems like "eh, it's done because I say so and my page count/deadline is done."<br/><br/>I keep skimming this series when I notice 'em at the library because I rather enjoyed the first 5 or so, but they've just been boring an/or disappointing for so long. Handy for insomnia, though. Possibly also for drinking games, with the repetition, but that may prove fatal for most people."
