Affliction (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #22)

by Laurell K.Hamilton

I liked this book. I like that while there is still sex in in, it seems like there is much more of a story here than some of her recent books in this series. That being said I also think this book was maybe 100-160 pages longer than it might have needed to be and seemed bogged down by conversations that seemed to go around in circles and never get where they needed to go and it seemed at times underwhelming because of that.

It was nice to meet Micha's family and I am happy about that aspect, but even that seemed to be at times more drawn out than it should have been. This book was incredibly long and I had to set it down several times and it seemed that every time I set it down it took it a while for me to figure out what was going on again. Even the actions scenes I had to reread several lines to make sure I got it right to figure them out, but to be honest, that could be more me than her writing. I am having more trouble concentrating lately.

I know many people have fallen out of love with this series and I don't think I will be that kind of person anytime soon, but I understand what they don't like about how things have changed and I don't think it's as bad as they all make it out to be. I still think this was a pretty good book compared to some. I will keep reading.

My rating:
