Product Description

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



Product Description

When Buffy's old flame Pike arrives in Sunnydale, the Slayer welcomes the chance to catch up. But Pike has a stone demon on his trail, inadvertently bringing with him secrets from the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Buffy books written!, 1 Jul 2001
By gloyp@hotmail.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read!, 16 Oct 2000
By caulms@excite.co.uk (a reader from Oxfordshire, U.K.) - See all my reviews
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! I had trouble putting it down, 5 Sep 2000
By A Customer
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!
