Each of the three stories had its high and low points. Folks reading the books without being fans of the television series will likely find some of the storylines fluffy and juvenile, and may well be confused by the flip-flopping of relationships amongst the characters between stories. This volume is vastly more enjoyable if the reader has already been steeped in the Buffy canon, and has the ability to forgive some of the sillier teenage angst-y moments.

Overall a good book. The three separate stories each take place in a different season. The first reminded me of "Masque of the Red Death" With each sin represented in by a different attracction. Unlike The Red Death however this book clearly states which sin goes with which ride and who is effected by it. The second had a subplot a bit like "Interview with a Vampire" With Dru siring a 8 year old girl.Though I think it was just thrown in to give a reason for Angelus, Spike, and Dru in the story s...more
This was by far the best book of the series.
Stories 1 and 3 both get 4 out of 5. Both were clearly written, had a great story and mostly kept me gripped all the way through. The third story in particular went into great detail about the characters' thoughts and history. At some stages, this was to the point where I wanted to hurry up and get on with the story, but for the most part it was a great help and aided the story tremendously.
The second story easily gets 5 out of 5. This story was thrill...more

This rating is only for One Thing or Your Mother. The other two will be read sometime in the future.
One Thing or Your Mother: 4.5 stars. A very good Buffy book. Shame this author hasn't written more Buffy novels, she seems to know the show very well.
OToYM takes place after the episode 'I Only Have Eyes For You'.
First off I loved that Buffy was dealing with a normal teenage problem, her failing grades and the interest of her tutor, and at the time also dealing with multiple Slayer issues. So ma...more

This book was really good except in maybe some parts. I wonder if Buffy really enjoys her job. It's because sometimes she doesn't want to go outside and slay vampires. I mean her boyfriend is a vampire, so doesn't she think it might sort of offend him. I wonder how he feels to with his girlfriend being a vampire slayer.
the stories all kept me hooked! i wasn't a huge fan of dialogue in the first one but the story was still good. so that's why this bind-up only 4 stars, because the first story's dialogue was a bit awkward. Which is odd because Nancy Holder's other stuff is very good. Hm. The last story was the best. Would be a great movie, haha!
I am currently reading this book and I am still not impressed. Its slow and confusing and at some point during my reading I couldn't handle it... big let down

Really enjoyed this series. Of course, I'm a huge Buffy fan, so I might be a bit biased. The authors did a good job of keeping the stories in line w/ the actual events of the show but made each story like an additional episode of Buffy.
Thank you Nancy and Goodreads First Reads for this free copy to read. I can't wait to read and review it. Thanks again.
