Summary: If You Can Get Past the Terrible Title...
Review: Plainly packaged for the younger readers, this is every bit as enjoyable for the older Buffy fans. Most titles in the Pulse line read like T.V. episodes, some better, some worse, and this one is pretty good.A siren trio of ghouls prey on the young men of Sunnydale, seeking to lure out the Slayer for a little fun and games. Along the way, they take a shine to Willow, and decide to coerce her into joining their ranks - all she has to do is eat the flesh of her best friend...Xander. But Buffy already has her hands full with a legendary vampire who walks by day, Solitaire, who has a separate personal duel of his own in mind. The subplot could have worked in closer tandem with the plot on this one, but that's a minor point. This is a brisk, easy read, great for Scooby Gang interaction and clever one-liners. All the characters get a pretty fair share of attention. Younger readers will love it - though it is at times a tad gruesome - and even more mature readers will probably like it, if they can get past that terrible title.

Summary: An excellant addition to the Buffy novel series.
Review: When a new all-female rock band playing at the Bronze seems to mesmarize the male audience in a seemingly unnatural way, Buffy takes notice, but she doesn't really have the opportunity to investigate further. On patrol one night recently, she discovered some human bones that had been picked completely clean. And there's a new vampire in town named Solitaire, who can apparently move about during the day, unharmed by the sunlight. When Willow manages to identify the bones through personal items such as wallets and jewelry found with them, the Scooby Gang discovers that all the victims were young males, students at either the high school or UC Sunnydale. Then one night, Willow dissapears, and Solitaire decides to strike at Buffy by attacking both Giles and Angel. Now Buffy must defeat Solitaire, discover who killed all those guys, and rescue Willow from whoever captured her. Can she accomplish all three things in time to save her friends? This Buffy novel was filled with action, suspense, mystery, and a surprising conclusion. I highly reccomend it to fans. And I really like the new cover design, on a side note.

Summary: Captures the feel of the series
Review: When I'm twenty pages into a book and already asking myself if the author's written other stuff and where can I order it, that's usually a good sign. Passarella does a superb job of capturing the feeling of the series, down to the odd, syncopation of the individual characters' speech patterns. The plots are handled well, in general, and while characters behave as you'd expect them to, there are still a few surprises. My only complaint is with the Solitaire sub-plot. This day-walking vampire idea was great, I loved it, and then there was this added twist and I was wondering what would happen and then . . . well, I don't want to spoil the book, but let's just say that plot thread ends rather more anti-climactically than was necessary.
