Summary: An excellant addition to the Buffy novel series.
Review: When a seemingly normal student murders his parents and shoots several people at the school, Buffy is suspicious - she's had prophetic dreams dealing with possession. But it's not just that one student - everyone in town seems to be acting cranky, and some people have even become extremely violent. Research leads Buffy to an ancient vampire, Helen, born in the days of the Roman Empire, who, true to the violent spirit of her time, has brutally murdered over a hundred slayers over nearly two thousand years. If Buffy doesn't find a way to stop Helen, she and her friends will be the next victims. This was an excellant addition to the series. There was a lot of suspense, and even a few funny lines, in spite of the serious nature of the storyline. I highly reccomend it to fans of the series; however it is very violent, so I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone younger than thirteen.

Summary: The best Buffy book to date!
Review: With all of the school crimes and violence occuring these days,it almost seems dangerous for Buffy book to include a high schoolshooting. But Nancy Holder displays her knowledge of the subject and the show to give several deep and touching analogies and metaphors for the violence. Although there is plenty of violence and gore in this book, it is the best buffy has ever been on print with its humor, action, passion, and tie-ins with past books and episodes. Every character gets a chance to shine in his or her own right in the story, including Oz to which I can let out a sigh of relief and "finally!" While the books in the past have been very good, they notoriously leave Oz out of the big picture, but this time he was put in the spotlight. What can I say but thank you for such a great book!

Summary: Who hunts the Slayers?
Review: You can't go wrong with a Buffy book that's written by Holder. Those of you who have read past Buffy books, by her know what I mean. The Evil that Men Do is pleasure to read. Holder has a solid grasp of the character, dialougs, and the actions of the characters of the show. This is obvious in her writing.What could lead to a shooting spree in Sunnydale? Could it be some random act or are some demons at work? While Buffy is figureing this out, other acts of violence is happing in Sunnydale. This sounds like a job for the Scooby gang...just one problem, Willow turns on Buffy and refuses to help. And if this isn't enough for Buffy....a ancient creature is hunting Buffy. Why would Willow turn of Buffy and what's hunting Buffy? Read this book and find out. (Dont' worry,I didn't ruin any of the plot, this is all on the back cover.) Hodler has a wonderful style of writing that will keep the reader glued to the book. There are wonderful plot twists that move the story along. If you like Buffy books, then I highly suggest you read this book.
