My first Buffy Book. And ain't it Golden (yeah, I know, poor - By: Mr. M. A. Sainsbury, 16 Feb 2006 
OK. Here we go. Buffy finds a potential Vamp victim isn't so helpless as she first thought. after fighting off his attackers we find out it's Pike (Buffy's former boyfriend from the movie/Origin graphic novel). He's run into demon trouble & has come looking for help.
All the characters are here (well, from season 3 anyway, no Anya Faith & Tara, but Oz & Cordy feature). All behave as the would in the TV show (Giles is kinda weird to begin with, but that's part of the story).
My only complaint would be the 'Big Bad' for this story. starts off as a cool concept, but gets a bit confusing towards the end. Aside from this it's one of my favourite Buffy novels, we find out about 'pre-Sunnydale' Buffy, there's an interesting Pike/Buffy/Angel love-triangle plot thread (why didn't Joss bring back the Pike character in the TV series? it woulda been so cool! He wouldn't even have had to use the same actor, alll the recurring roles (Buffy & errr...Merrick) were re-cast anyway. An essential purchase for any fan of the novels.
One of the best Buffy books written! - By: gloyp@hotmail.com, 01 Jul 2001 The fact that you learn something more of Buffy's past from a somewhat different angle makes the book interesting enough. However, with the added feature of Giles' love-life after Jenny Calendar added makes the book brilliant! The book also has some of the best charcters in it, including the Scoobies & Angel. An excellent book & well worth the read!
This book is very easy to get into and very hard to put down - By: emma.reed@lw.com, 15 Dec 2000 This story should have defiantly been televised! It's a must read for alll Buffy Fans!

Excellent read! - By: caulms@excite.co.uk, 16 Oct 2000 this was the 1st buffy book i read (i'm hooked to the books as much as i am to the series) & i absolutly LOVED it! its very confusing at first, but just as it alll smooths over, a huge twist arises! the humour is perfect, the characters are displayed in the book as they are in the series. alll-in-alll a great bargin!
