Helpful Score: 1

Although I didn't read numbers 20, 20.5 and 21 of the series, I didn't miss a thing. This book is so repetitive, it could have been 150, or more, pages shorter and not a thing would have been lost. Actually, I read to page 506, Chapter 69, said, "the hell with it," and skimmed the rest of the book without skipping a beat. It's gotten to the point where this series needs to end - NOW: S.O.S., different book.

There are a few things about AFFLICTION that baffled me (spoilerish):

1. Why did Jean-Claude even bother to show up? He made what - ONE - appearance? Maybe it was the needed sex scene.
2. Why was the entire entourage from St. Louis needed? If the reader isn't familiar with the past series...Too many unfamiliar characters are a waste of space. They sure didn't pile on for any orgy!
3. The continual references to polyamory and open marriages will surely turn some readers in other directions.

The high point of this book - one word: Edward.

Stick a fork in me, I'm done with Anita and her long list of sidekicks.
