Afflicted
The apocalypse came and went in a single day. When the smoke cleared, half the people in the world were dead. As governments and communities fought to stay intact, dangerous powers manifested in a few of the survivors.
Being afflicted was never easy--but when you were cast out by family, wanted by the government, grappling with inner demons, and chased by monstrous beings intent on killing you--it could be a nightmare.
Thrown together by fate, Ruddy, Teri and Xeke hadn’t asked for these abilities, and they certainly hadn’t asked to be hunted for what they could do. But this was life now, and if they were going to survive, they had to learn to trust each other--and more importantly, to trust themselves. Everyone else wanted them dead.
That’s the way things are when you're...
Afflicted.

About the author
Michael B. Hinton
2 books2 followersMichael B. Hinton grew up in a small town in rural Louisiana, spending many childhood weekends raiding his father’s sci-fi paperback collection. He later worked at a small daily newspaper, where he learned two valuable lessons: how to miss deadlines and the importance of taking lunch *away* from the office.
To avoid getting a real job, Michael spent more than a decade working in politics and government before finally settling down to write a book. He now lives in South Louisiana with his wife, daughter, and Milo the cat — along with Milo’s minions: three other cats, two chickens, two cockatiels, and a monk parakeet named Billie. It’s less of a home and more of a suburban zoo compound.

I was blessed with a free copy of this book, and I have chosen of my own volition to share my review with you.
The Afflicted have banded together since the Event. This book takes place after the Event, and some of the Afflicted have started a journey together. Their powers are both their downfalls and their saving grace.
Overall, a decent read. The last 10 pages or so were a bit of a disappointment. Everything got wrapped up a bit too cleanly.

Mannnn
This read through was great. I’m probably going to read through it again just to see if I missed anything. Can’t wait for the next installment.
