About the Book:

Twenty-two year old Honor Melanie (Mel) Sullivan has an affliction. Due to childhood trauma and inappropriate social behavior, she is diagnosed with Aspergers, a form of autism. But, Mel knows Aspergers is not her true affliction. She prefers not to gaze into a person’s eyes because she is a soul reader, and what she sees can be frightening. It can also get Mel into trouble. 

After a brush with the law, Mel leaves her family home in Southern California and travels to Oregon where she meets Harley-Davidson riding William McCarty (Billy the Kid) and stumbles upon a human trafficking/baby-selling scheme involving a foreign girl from Kazakhstan, and others. Even though Mel's life is in danger, she won't stop until she finds the answers that will help those unable to help themselves.

Mt Thoughts:

 I absolutely enjoyed Affliction! The storyline and plots were completely new to me, I've never read a book with this theme before and was pretty caught up in it. I was sitting on the edge of my seat trying to figure the plot out a few times yet was completely satisfied by the end of the book. I absolutely adored the main character, Mel. She's a little fireball with a big heart and I just loved her snarky little attitude! Too cute! The rest of the characters were very easy to affiliate with as well and I really liked Uncle Paco! With a few slightly spicy moments of a quick romance, it could've built a little more on the romantic side of things, yet that wasn't the focus of the book. I'm glad it didn't turn into a complete romance and was more about the baby trafficking schemes. I was completely engrossed with this book and am anxiously desiring the sequel!
*I was not paid for this review! I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion!
