Every book has it's own history and even if we don't mean to, we come to each and every book with some sort of expectation. In the case of Affinity I came to the book with two sets of misconceptions. The person who gave me the book via BookCrossing said it was a graphic novel, so I immediately thought of English language manga. Later the person explained that they meant "graphic" in the sense of being explicit and the words used were "sick shit." So when the book arrived with the cheesy cover art, I was disappointed that it wasn't a graphic novel and a little worried that it would be poorly written erotica.
Although Affinity is classified under the horror genre, it was neither "sick shit" or poorly written erotica. If anything, it was sort of a sweet paranormal love story without the benefit of a pink and purple cover art depicting shoes, purses or vampires. The book most reminded me of James Patterson's When the Wind Blows but better written.
Affinity is a love story and a mystery. Quent comes to realize his childhood has been a lie. His memories aren't his and he begins to realize he has powers that most people don't have. In steps the only woman to capture his heart, Feather, who seems to have powers like his. Why do they seem to know each other? What happened in their past and who is behind keeping all those memories a secret?
The book though flawed still captured my interest. I found it an entertaining read.

I bought this book years ago because I found the premise rather appealing and it was only 50 cents. Quent Wilcox is a college basketball player living with his aunt and uncle, who seem like decent people. He's been having some disturbing dreams and is unable to remember anything about his parents.
I've read several books with amnesia plots and thought this one would be more interesting. Unfortunately, I got only as far as 36 pages, breaking my 50-page rule. Cardboard characters, a meandering plot, and bad writing have made me finally set this book aside.
It's hard for me to believe this guy has written so many books.
