Rating: Summary: Buy it! Review: Awesome book...one of the best Angel books so far! The writer did a very good job writing it. I especially liked how much he exposed the drastic character changes in Cordy. There was also some humor mixed in with the creepy stuff...well written and well worth your time!

Rating: Summary: Has issues but it's still good Review: Cordelia thinks she has found the key to her inevitable stardom when she's cast in a reality TV show. Unfortunately, the hook of the show is that she, and the other constants, must survive five days in a haunted house. Cordy figures this will be an easy win because this is hardly the first time she's had to sleep in a haunted house. However, the first night in the house Cordy has a vision of a girl in trouble, but with few ways to get information to Angel and the others the girl's chances don't look good. I know this book sounds like it's Cordy-centric but in fact equal time is given to all the main characters. This is good in some ways and bad in others. Gunn's storyline does have some interesting moments and Wesley's was pretty funny at times but other than that the rest of the boys' attempts to solve the mystery are pretty dull. Cordy's storyline was by far the most interesting but it's not really given enough time to be as good as it could have been. Also, many of the original characters weren't really necessary and made the novel feel even more disjointed. Overall this is a fairly decent Angel novel but I've read better by this author.
Rating: Summary: On par with the show Review: Finially, the writers of the Angel book series have choosen to update their books to events relating to the TV series. Wesley and Gunn have replaced Doyle and although Fred has not appeared in the novels yet, the story lines from last season and this season have. In Haunted, Angel is dealing with his emotions surrounding Cordelia as he is doing in the show. Haunted is a well written book with surprises around every turn. Cordelia has won a spot as a contestant on a reality series in a "haunted house". ALthough she at first believes all the events to be made up, she starts to consider other ideas when she begins hearing and seeing things. The contestants are at the mercy of the ghosts as all outside communication has been cut off. Cordelia has the visions now as she does in the TV series and ANgel will do anything to ease her pain. It's one of these visions that draw her to warn Angel over live television about a girl in trouble. Angel and the gang must figure out COrdelia's message and save the girl as well as save COrdelia from the haunted house. ANyone who enjoys the TV show will much enjoy this novel.
Rating: Summary: In a house of its own Review: If you are an Angel fan, then this book is definately for you. Cordelia wins a contest to spend a week in a mansion for the show "Fear Factor". After a painful vision her first night she begins to belive that this house is more than just a stage setting. With no communication allowed to the outside, how is she possibly going to inform Angel and the gang about her vision? With some quick thinking (not going to spoil everything for you)she gets her message across and the boys come running. The action was well written and although this is supposed to take place in the 2nd season on Angel, there are already undertones to how ANgel and Cordelia really feel about each other. I have read every book in the Angel series and this one was by far my favorite. A sure treat for any Angel fan.
Rating: Summary: The Haunted - The way Survivor should be Review: The Haunted was my first of the Buffy/ Angel Books available and certainly not my last. I've always been fscinated by the show as vampires have always interedted me since Barnabas Collins. I found the book very enjoyable to read with out the aouthor getting lost in the many plots that end up being one. The ending was quick, exciting and fascinating pulling the whole text into one plot. Cordelia's role in the book was outstanding although I thought Angel could have played a bit larger role since it is entitled Angel - Haunted. It's hard to place these books into the timeline associated with the show which someone who is an Angel/Buffy fan should do. Buy this book as it is great fun and the delving into ghosts varies from the normal demon hunting lives of our heroes although the demons are still pulling all the strings. I'm onto read BTVS Book of Fours and soon to start the Giles book. Look forward to reading other books by the author as well

Rating: Summary: Angel: Haunted Review: This book was great!Cordelia has a vision while at the house and has to give clues to the gang threw the show. Gunn's gang find out that a women's body was dumped with no identification marks what so ever. What's the deal and are the two related? You have to read to find out. This book had me from the first page, I couldn't put it down. The story with Cordelia in the "Haunted House" was what had me keep reading. I also love the fact that it showed Angel, Gunn, and Wesley all doing their own thing to figure out the case. This is one of the better Angel books I have read and I recommend it to everybody!

Rating: Summary: great Review: this is the first angel book i've ever read and i can tell you it wont be the last these books are great!!!!!!!! they really bring the characters to life and they dont make them to different to the tv characters. the writer jeff mariotte is wonderfull he really knows what he's writing about. even though i'm a huge charmed fan i have to say these books top those as they're longer you can really get into them and an intrieging plot can be set up. even if your not an angel fan but just want something griping and exciting to read. this is the book for you.
