Nancy Holder (Goodreads Author),
Joss Whedon
"We're Slayers, girlfriend. The Chosen." -- Faith
From a place of nightmares -- which Buffy and Faith share -- a terrible evil invades Sunnydale, setting off disaster. Clearly, the big evil is linked to the Slayers' nightmares, which revolve around four figures: one burning, one dripping wet, one covered in mud, one shrouded in windswept linen. Each carries a box of grafted...more

This is an actual published book, which means it was approved by someone along the lines who owns the rights to Buffy, and the Buffy-verse. But what is too bad is that this book is about four levels below some of the unauthorized fan fiction out there. Because as everyone from every genre knows; the first rule of fanfiction is to NEVER have more than two brand new characters. Two is okay if you balance with the cannon characters, but more than that and it turns into a story about someone else, a...more
Bought this book at a garage sale on a whim, because the TV show is just plain good fun. The book captures the characters pretty well, but it turns out that it's a lot harder to READ the old dialogue and all the Slayer action than it is to watch it. And I don't mean hard as in difficult to comprehend; I just mean it's a lot more awkward in text than in visuals.
But, I certainly didn't pick up this book expecting it to be a great piece of high literature; I picked it up expecting it to be a super...more

I'm a massive Buffy geek and this book is a little bit "out there" (two dead Slayer spirits taking over the bodies of Willow and Cordelia, getting them thrown off a cliff and hacked to pieces respectively only for the ACTUAL Will and Cordy to wake up in bed as if the last 24hrs hadn't happened? Bit too "weird" for my Buffy liking.) for my taste.

If you are a huge fan of Buffy, you will love this book. Nancy Holder got all the characters down - it was like watching a really long episode. Loved that other Slayers were introduced & that you were given enough on them to really get a feel for them. This book made me want to go out and find other Buffy books written by Nancy Holder. Will probably give her other stuff a try, as well.
The idea of a book that tackles the Slayer called just before Buffy - India Cohen - seemed a fantastic idea. Sadly, the story itself suffers from the lack of Whedonesque characterization and notable antagonists. Here's hoping that India gets her story properly told in Season 9.
Got this book for a birthday present because I liked the t.v. series so much.
Let's just say that the series is a lot better than this book.

It talks about the slayer that activated Buffy, the one who died before her. Really cool to learn about her.
A pretty good tie in to the popular TV series.
major buffy fan and i loved it
Again, read a long time ago
This is one of the better Buffy paperbacks. Which isn't saying much. I remember really liking this when I was younger and wanted to give it a re-read. The concept is really interesting, but the writing is lackluster.
TERRIBLE... do NOT waste your time.
