Amazon.co.uk Review
There are almost too many sub-plots in this book to fit into one novel. Giles has a new girlfriend, a supply teacher who seems to be making him even more vague than usual. Buffy's mother has a date, and while Buffy is out slaying vampires who should turn up but her old flame Pike. He helped her when she first became a Slayer at her previous school in LA, and now he needs her help. He's being pursued by Grayhewn, a stone demon who turns people to stone with a touch. Meanwhile, the mesmerised Giles is captured by a vampire who brings back some very personal memories.
It's all very complicated, but despite the breathless action Buffy still has time to agonise over the two men in her life. She knows she has no real future with Angel the vampire, but Pike hates the whole slaying gig and is likely to move on as soon as Grayhewn is dealt with. She envies Willow and Oz and wonders if she'll ever have a normal relationship.
The sub-plot involving Giles's past is interesting, but might have been stronger if not competing for space with the Angel-Buffy-Pike triangle. However, this is still a strong entry in the series. --Liz Sourbut

Format:Mass Market Paperback
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 and Angel. An excellent book and well worth the read!

this was the 1st buffy book i read (i'm hooked to the books as much as i am to the series) and i absolutly LOVED it! its very confusing at first, but just as it all smooths over, a huge twist arises! the humour is perfect, the characters are displayed in the book as they are in the series. all-in-all a great bargin!

This book was excellent from the first line! I was up until about midnight before i realised it was time to go to sleep because i just wanted to keep reading it! Giles getting a new girlfriend was a surprise and the trouble with the vampires and Giles' past was vey intriging. Also The problem with Pike,Buffy and Angel was intense. The end had a good twist. i would give this book 9/10 it was good from beginning to end, this is a must read book!
