Laurell K. Hamilton: Affliction (Hardcover, 2013, The Berkley Publishing Group)
Hardcover, 570 pages

Anita Blake is no stranger to the supernatural. In this book, she faces something with zombie-like traits, that has been biting humans so they rot, from the inside out. Micah's father is on his deathbed, having only days left to live. Anita accompanies Micah on a flight to his hometown. As Micah faces his family for the first time in years, Anita follows clues that lead to this mysterious creature, and the only way of finding a cure.
Slightly more disjointed, but very definitely on the same level of writing as Obsidian Butterfly. Really had fun with this one.
Lately I’ve been struggling to get through Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake books. I’ve read every single one & have been reading them for a decade. I’ve always loved the world, the story & the characters but the past few books have caused me to slowly lose interest.

It’s w/ a heavy heart that I hang up my love for the Anita Blake series but when I choose to do something - anything - else besides read a book, there is something wrong.
I’ll wait patiently for the next Merry Gentry book but …

I’ll wait patiently for the next Merry Gentry book but for me, Anita is done.
