Unattainable

Affliction #2

**NOW AVAILABLE**

“What do you want from me?” I demanded.

Dean examined my eyes and looked disapointed in what he saw. “Do you remember anything?” He asked with hope.

“What are you talking about? I was with Shane, then I woke up here! He’ll kill you for this!” I warned.

Dean threw back his head and laughed. “That little mosquito can try.” Then he lowered his eyes and cocked a smile. “I dare him.”

The way he gazed at me was intense. I felt butterflies frantically flying in my stomach and up my chest. “What do you want from me?” I demanded, as I pretended not to feel a rush of excitement from his close presence.

“Do you remember anything from your human life?” Dean asked and tilted his head to the side.

“No.” I responded immediately.

“Are you sure? Think really hard.” Dean insisted.

“I don’t. I’ve already tried thinking really hard. Why is this so important?” I asked.

Ignoring my question, Dean asked, “Do you remember your friends? Family?” He hesitated and nervously rubbed the back of his neck. “Maybe a boyfriend you had?”

Edit:

After the heartbreak of book one I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Unattainable. The story started out much slower than I had anticipated, and it continued through much of the story. This second installment was much different from the first in that with the separation of Dean and Miranda we alternate chapters, and follow the two of them separately. It is a book long heartache to watch Miranda with her unknown past, and the slow by progressive deterioration of Dean knowing that he must eventually kill the one he loves. The ending redeems much of this story once the action really hits. Dean and Marcus predicaments are going to make for a very interested third book to the Afflicted series. To honestly rate this book I have to say that Captivated was better, but it is still a very good read. Even better I am ecstatic about the upcoming book three, and can not wait to see if Deb can surpass expectations with the best book yet. The series is about to transform, and I can't wait to see where it will go!!!!

Well well well what a ride. Two boys fighting over one girl and she betrays them both and even kills one of them. The ending was a cliff hanger and will have to go on with this series to find out what happens next.

[Kimchi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Again she introduced new characters, vampires and slayers alike and it left me wanting. You know how at the end of a movie the characters come to this life changing moment and they move forward for the better. This wasn't it. Lina has killed two people and she should be dead.... but dean cant bring himself to do it. He goes the whole book trying to make her remember him, and she is jerking him around the whole time. talk about kicking a dog when he's down.... I feel sorry for the characters but not the way the author wants us to. I did not like this read and i will not read anymore of her books. I don't know if my review will help but hopefully i stop someone for paying for something that they wont like...

When I read the 1st book, I knew I wanted more...It left me crying and screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at the end of the book...What a cliffhanger Ms.Deb Apodaca left me on the 1st book..Now she left me with a bigger cliffhanger on the 2nd...I have read my share of vampire books, but this one is one of the best I have read..Dean is a vampire slayer who really love to kill vampires..But there are rules when it come to killing them..Dean love interested is red headed Mindy....Dead and Mindy known each other since childhood...One day Dean world was turn upside down when a vampire kill his parents...To know the rest what happen..Pick up both books "Captivated and Unattainable"...I really do recommend this series..Can't wait till the 3rd book come out "Defiance", feel like I am hanging by the tips of my fingers :0

Great Book! Loved it just as much as the first one. Have put this and Captivated on my favorites shelf. Sometimes, I feel like writers follow the path of least resistance and their stories are somewhat predictable in the end. Not so much that it ruined their story, but in a way that when you finished reading it, you realize that you thought or had hoped it was going to end that way and you were just fortunate enough to enjoy a few bumps in the road. That is not the case with this series. As I was reading this book, there were so many twists and turns that on several occassions just when I thought the story was headed in one direction - boom another turn. It kept me on my toes and wanting more. I couldn't put the book down and am impatiently awaiting the next one.

[Danielle Young · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was so excited to read this book, that once I started I refused to put it down until it was finished. I love how in this book you get to explore Markus' character more. The progression of the story was really good, but I was a little disappointed in the fact that you are never quite certain if Mindy has powers or not. You are certain of one but Shane takes credit for it. You are left wondering if she can actually control a slayer or not or if it is just Dean's love for her that makes him do the things he does. Either way I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I really love the ending and can't wait to read the next one!!!!

[Samantha · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. As others have mentioned it is a bit short. The plot does stagnate at a few points, but the action makes up for it. My biggest complaint (aside from the length) is the numerous spelling errors. Nothing annoys me more than someone using you're instead of your. You're was used incorrectly at least twice. That aside I can't wait to find out what happens to everyone. I'm dying to know what happens with Marcus and how Dean is going to take being a vampire. I mean who actually turned him? Was it Mindy or an accident?

[Tiffany Stevens · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg Deb Apodaca has done it again with the flip flop. Just when things get in Deans reach something else happens. In the second book of this series you can feel the pain and the longing Dean has for Mindy and it's heart wrenching. You feel every emotion felt by every character. It's powerful, it's intense, and emotion all wrapped up in one book that just explodes. Excellent book!!! Just excellent. I loved it and I will continue to follow Deb Apodaca's writing always.

[Rhonda Bergamo · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is story is not what I expected. I did enjoy this one as much as the first, I love Markus (Doctor Watson of the Alliction Series world :) ) and Dean. Definitely not Twilight, true fans would know the difference, would say it is more of Vampire Diaries meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Can't wait for Alliction # 3 to see if Mindy and Dean can find their happy ending , and is there hope for Markus and Violet?

[Jaime Buncie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book 2 of the Affliction series, and totally worth the time. As I said about book 1, this is a new spin on vampires and slayers. It's not the same song and dance that other books are coming out as. Different points of view throughout the whole story. Makes you wonder who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. The last few pages of this book made me jump up off the couch and read them standing up. I need book 3!!!

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

May give a spoiler.......

this book was frigin awesome, even better than the first. i felt so sorry for deam. its like his life was in turmoil all the time. poor lina she was so sweet and lost most of the time, and shane finally surprised me.

In my opinion if the author would have elabeated about what happeed when she went missing, like at school or how her mother and friends felt when it happened, the story would have been even better

[Irayda Moran (Quezada) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good read. Although I flung myself mad at Mindy this time around. I did love the new characters and what they brought to the story. The turn of events made me teary-eyed and left my jaw on the floor. I did find it a tad slow, but I still can't wait on the next book to see what happens to Dean and the other characters.

[April Armstrong · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one isn't as cliche as the first in the series.. I greatly enjoyed it but almost quit reading it because of all the errors. Misspelled words, even wrong words... it annoys me.

Dean can't believe Mindy is what he hates most... and with no memory of her life, he means nothing to her. He's just another target, until they're both on deaths door - and the unthinkable happens ...

[Ania · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just loved this 2nd book. it sure sucked me into it just like the 1st book did. very good read. I was wondering if there is going to be a 3rd book out and when I should look for that one also.
your a wonderful Author.

[Ashley · Rating 3 out of 5]

The only thing i do not like about this book is that it was short and the way it ended, I waited months for this book to come out for it to just end so quickly..I can only hope there will be more to this series.

[Stephncaitlyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was even better than the first. I was pulling my hair out for most of the book! Twists and turns and ups and downs were amazing and I couldn't believe the ending!! I can't wait for the next book!

[Lavenia Boswell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I greatly enjoyed this excellent Part 2, just as I was equally captivated by the first novel. She is an extremely talented writer. The tension is awesome, the romance is not overwhelming. I can't wait for her follow up novel!

[Jelzc · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much emotions, sadness, fury and lots of fucked up ass shit. I feel so bad for Dean. And I wish I have a loyal friend like Markus. This book has left me sad esp after reading few books that made me feel happy. My heart goes out for Dean, so so sad

[Nayeli Hernandez · Rating 5 out of 5]

AMAZING. nuff said

i like the ending. how she remembered, and i cried. just a little ;)
mkay. its worth it. just saying. bye.

[Dena · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's good, but it's a total set up for the third book. We gain a few characters and kind of loose a few characters. I guess I was looking for a little more drama with Dean and Lina. I can not tell anything from Shane

[Tori Reul · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this series. It kept me wanting more. I can't wait until the next book comes out

I love Dean and I can't help but feel for him. He's lost everyone he loves.
