What you should know from the get go is that this book has nothing to do with Buffy or anyone around her, it is about Spike and Drusilla only.
Spike negotiates with a demon, he will get a powerful necklace in exchange for killing off all the potential slayers. Once the current slayer finds out she's on a mission to stop them, or perhaps get killed herself.
This was the first BTVS novel I read, and it did not disappoint. The writing is spot on for the characters, and the plot was what I expec...more

I loved this book, but there is something wrong with it. The author changed Spike's history. When he first shows up in Sunnydales, he mentions that he has killed 2 slayers. They were the chinese chik during the Boxing Rebelion and Nikki in Chicago. Well in this book he kills one in Europe. That is breaking from the story line. I love that there are books written to fill in gaps and tell more history, but you can't change the history set by Joss at the Begining of the show. That's just wro...more

recommends it for: Any fans of Buffy and anyone who like vampire books
I loved everything about this book. I loved spike and Dru, i loved the slayer and her watcher, (not buffy and Giles), i loved the villain of the piece, and i loved learning about the slayers to be waiting for their time.
Skrymir Rocked as a villain. Both Entertaining, action packed, chilling, horrific and suspenseful.

recommends it for: Suzanne, all Spike and Dru fans
This is a wonderful and scary stand alone Spike and Dru novel. Who doesn't want to know what they were up to while Angel was moping around feeling guilty?

Not for the weak of stomach. There is some serious violence here. But it is so much fun!

One of the better media tie-in novels out there. This is really fully fleshed out stuff that does later get debunked a little bit in "Lies My Parents Told Me" but not too much.

I only just started, but how can you not love a book about Spike?! A quick read for those that love all things Buffy in the Whedon Universe -- of which I am guilty!

I'm biased towards this book, I love the characters of Spike and Dru, and I have a copy of it signed by the author.
