Hamilton ↠ 6 Download Read & Download Affliction ?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 a. Just when you thought it was safeIt s not a stretch to say that we re sold a bill of goods on this one After months of promos and teasers about an unknown zombie disease ravaging people there came a teaser trailer where the villain was clearly identified as Lover of Death a Master Rotting Vampire who d been presumed dead Except there was never any mention of him dying before As I recall the last word on him was killing seventy people in Europe at the end of Bullet Yet the premise of Affliction is that he d been thought dead along with Mother of All Darkness so his appearance is a surprising twist Except it s not since we ve already been told about it Plus it feels like it was kind of thrown in at the last moment Hamilton has a history of milking the latest trend with zombies the hot property nowadays instead of simply returning Anita to her zombie raising roots she pulls a lame bait and switch and then shows her hand anyway In a nutshell what was thought to be a zombie affliction is LoD resurfacing to try to stake out a territory of his own so he can kill everythingWhat s Good There are flashes instances glimpses of Hamilton actually trying to write a story Every so often you ll get a decent passage a zinger that ll make you smile an insight that makes you pause for a second The greatly diminished amount of sex is glaringly apparent 3 or 4 scenes total and once again belies her protests about not paying attention to criticism of the series It s a giant step in the right direction But as it s Hamilton one step forward results in two steps back Some will consider this good there s a veritable roll call of characters trotted out for this book JC gets some face time even Asher and Richard get some mention here Underserved folks like Lisandro Ares and Bram get some time as well and there s a few spots of actual continuity brought inWhat s Bad Once again you almost don t know where to start From the beginning LKH dishes up a few uotes about acuiring power and poetry balancing out excess power If that don t make much sense don t worry it s all about foreshadowing and justifying all the powerups Anita acuires in the book including hyena and what s left of Mother of All Darkness and the ability to enthrall even vamps nowSince there s a lot less sex and Hamilton is allergic to the plot something else has to fill up the pages You got it Haterz Page after page of ridiculous borderline insane rants and diatribes about Anita s sex lifeall right in the middle of a potential zombie invasion They literally get prevented from interrogating some vampires because Hamilton drags out a cavalcade of nobodies to complain about who Anita s sleeping with Plus it would ve cut out about a third of the book if they had talked to them Gotta have your priorities in place Anyone even LKH herself who says she s not writing PNR paranormal romance need look no further than this doorstop It s all about the lovey dovey here so much that it overwhelms what s supposed to be the plot Let s start with Micah for someone whom Anita s been so in love with for years she knows jack all about him His mother calls asking for him by his childhood nickname Mike and Anita has no clue what s going on even though the woman specifically called because Anita s with her son and he s one of the few strays she s picked up that has a family it never registers In an almost 600 page book it takes damn near 200 pages just to get out of town meet Micah s relatives and sort out some family drama and most of them disappear soon after anywayMicah s family dynamic is so goofy it s a cartoon running the gamut of every stereotype and trope Hamilton can shove in to take up space including of course haterz and religious zealots He comes home for his dying father hasn t seen them in 10 years and worries about explaining his bisexual threesome to his parents only to find they ve got their own going with a couple extra kids as a result In short he gets it from his parentsGot a couple of uestions for you all when you discover a dangerous master vampire setting up shop in a city shouldn t you inform the Master of the City so he can deal with the problem Wouldn t they feel its presence anyway When a homicidal master vampire has an animal to call shouldn t you inform said clan about the danger Rally the troops to help flush it out maybe ease some tensions between paranormals and humans When a horde of zombies is set loose on a killing spree shouldn t any of the above groups be involved in the situation to help protect the city Answer you do know what series this is right What s really funny about that is there was all this drama about who the MotC was and how to properly deal with him and he never even appeared in the book You see some of his flunkies when Anita and the boys are met at the airport and never again Oh and didja know that vampires can become doctors now Wonder how that even works let alone if he s allowed to operate on patients and what ll happen if he s stuck in ER when the sun comes upYou could almost count how many pages it would be before someone would start on Anita for her sex life or her furry friends or because it s 2 o clock Whenever there was a spare moment there was a pissing contest to fill it I swear I was actually noticing when we d go a few chapters without anyone complaining about Anita and her oh wait there s another oneThe biggest development here is that Anita gets engaged to everybody Yep first Micah then JC proposes to her so now it s about who to legally marry and who to handfast or whatever with Which becomes just another thing for the haterz to hate on Anita about All the women who are slim and slender are mannish and waspish if they have any curves or noticeable breasts that s a dead giveaway they ll be on Anita s side And Hamilton still can t resist injecting sex into nearly every situation Ex Nathaniel agrees to shift into his panther form to help track some missing people To make the locals comfortable he consents to wear a collar to show that he s under control the collar he uses is his bondage collar with his nickname P Cat Edit etched into it And the point is With 20 years of stories under her belt a veritable mine of lore and worldbuilding behind her Hamilton always leaves you wondering why she s so adverse to storytelling Probably because if she did most of the stuff she writes couldn t possibly happen It d simply make no damned sense and take the focus away from what s important Anita During the book it s info dumped that JC is the Head of the American Vampire Council which makes him and therefore Anita all kinds of extra powerful Now who wouldn t want to read that story JC making out like Michael Corleone as we witness the rise of a new American dynasty Instead it s glossed over in favor endless declarations of love and pissing contests about the sex life of a blow up doll with a badge Boulder Colorado is noted from being one of the most progressive eclectic places in the country except when Anita s around then it s a hotbed of racism against weres even though the hospital has a vampire for a doctor go figure and a woman can t have multiple sex partners in peace while killing zombies and vampires to help them out And if they treat weres as potentially dangerous especially after one gets possessed by a vampire and goes berserk on some cops they re a bunch of losersOh almost forgot someone dies In an effort to create tension one of the bodyguards bites the dust Don t worry about two dozen new ones are already floating in and out of the story so you won t even have time to miss him What s Left An unedited mess of contradictory information and a meandering storyline Can t even really get snarky about it the thing is just plain bad 600 pages worth Irresistible Intruder unknown zombie disease ravaging people there came a teaser trailer where the villain was clearly identified as Lover of Death a Master
