AFFLICTION (Book 1 of the Affliction Trilogy)

BATTLING TO STAY ALIVE.
FIGHTING NOT TO FALL IN LOVE.

Quinn Ellery has one priority since the U.S. quarantined itself from the rest of the world--stay alive.

For over a year, Quinn and her cousin River have barricaded themselves inside their childhood home. Armed with weapons and a stockpile of food, they have survived the afflicted who will eat them alive and the decrepit society which wants to enslave them. But when intruders break into their safe haven, things reach a new level of complicated.

Quinn has good reason to not trust Harry Shaw and his three friends. The British men should have left during the evacuation of foreigners, but instead, one of them is dying on her floor. Against her better judgment, she allows the men to stay and agrees to help them find the medication that will save their friend and hopefully send them quickly on their way.

As Quinn ventures into the hostile society for the first time, she encounters a new dilemma--Harry. What begins as a power struggle evolves into an irresistible chemistry which threatens to lure them from their one shared goal: deliver the ones they love from the clutches of the affliction. Now, Quinn is not only battling to stay alive but fighting not to fall in love.

✰AFFLICTION REVIEWS✰
The point remains that while the list of zombie stories spans on and on, the theme of zombie-romance is rarer. Luckily for you, Affliction tackles both themes perfectly.
Congrats to Crystal J Johnson for seamlessly weaving together infection and infatuation!

(Affliction is) absolutely one of my favorite novels on Wattpad. This needs to be made into a movie or a television series ASAP.
