Rating: Summary: Worth reading Review: Very good. Interesting idea - vamp fairies - and my favorite character, SPIKE, is portrayed accordingly, that is, almost like if he was a member of the Scooby Gang! Spike helps the Scoobies and is treated by them with kindness - Willow and Dawn are sweet to him, Buffy isn't so mean, and even Giles thanks the vampire for his efforts 3 times! Since the novel is set on season 5, it couldn't be different; Spike is already in love with Buffy (the book confirms this fact), and, since he has found out it (on TV), he has been trying to be a better... man. I also liked to see Buffy and the gang having to deal with the "little things" of life - tooth problems, ant infestation, traffic fines etc - things we usually don't have on the show. And the vampettes - I wish I could see them on television! Those little creatures are fascinating, and their destiny (on the book) although sad, resulted in a good story.

Rating: Summary: this book was decent Review: while out on patrol, spike leads buffy to a couple in the park who have been murdered. on closer inspection, they find that they are missing a lot of blood, but it is obvious no vampire did this. for on their bodies, they have lots of tiny bite marks instead of one big one. meanwhile buffy has a toothache that is a killer, giles gets a parking ticket, xander and anya have ants and the problems seem to keep coming. this book is deceptively mild at the beginning, but it picks up steam and ends decently. i only gave it four stars because it was not the best buffy book i have read, but the plot is okay.
Rating: Summary: Wow - That basically sums it up. Wow. Review: Wow. What an amazing novel. It was probably the first Buffy book I have read and probably what got me hooked on the books. The author did a real good job summing up the characters emotions and it was a brilliant plot. I think "Wow - amazing book" sums it up. Definetly read it, its great!
