A Great Book by a Very Dedicated Author

My copy of this book sets prominently in my collection. I won it in an essay contest over the internet. My copy is inscribed by the author, who I think is very cool. This book is interesting, it foreshadows future events in the series in a very gentle way and at the same time gives us a deeper look into Drusilla's disturbed psyche. This was one a the last Buffy novels, which is very sad because I enjoyed so many of them. Thank goodness we have season 8.

mixed review

I'm not really sure where to begin. I am a huge Buffy fan and wanted this to be a refreshing and new read. The plots were confusing in the fact that they didn't fit together well. There were three things happening that weren't really explained. plot 1) A little girl has gone missing. Buffy finds her at the playground. But is shocked to find that she has been turned into a vampire. plot 2) Everyone in Sunnydale is tired. And Buffy keeps noticing Principle Snyder walking around in daze at night. plot 3) Buffy has a new tutor. A very cute boy she thinks she might like. But he is more then meets the eye. The book was good. I laughed out loud at parts and smiled at others. But there were parts were I was scratching my head trying to remember if I had missed something important. Could have been better. Of course I've mostly pointed out the bad things. If you are a Buffy fan you should read it!!! It has the humor and the feeling of a show. A plus was having Spike in the story and showing how Angel was making his life much harder. I liked his realtionship with little Callie. It fit well with the Spike from the show.

One Thing or Your Mother - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I loved this book. It takes place during the season 2 time period. Angelus is stalking Buffy and Spike is well......Spike (got to love him). Great story....takes me back to Buffy at her best. If you are a fan......any book about Buffy is rated an A+++++++++!!!!!!

A Good Read for Buffy Fans

Reading BTVS One Thing or Your Mother is like watching an episode of what I consider "Classic Buffy". The story takes place during the second season of Buffy, after Episode 19 ("I Only Have Eyes for You") and before the season finale (Episode 21 & 22 "Becoming"). Angel has lost his soul, murdered Jenny Calendar, and begun to wage his emotional war against Buffy. Like a TV episode, there is a main plot (why is everyone in Sunnydale continually falling asleep, how is Principal Snyder connected, and how can Buffy put a stop to it before everyone falls into permanent slumber?), and a small subplot with Angelus, Drusilla & Spike (still in the wheelchair). The theme of the sub-plot also ties in with main plot's theme. There are a few surprises, and there is some foreshadowing of both events in "Becoming" and the Third Season of Buffy. I really enjoyed the story and recommend it to any Buffy fan looking for a good new story to excite their imagination. Kirsten Beyer has a great feel for both the characters and the story flow, and it's a shame that this is probably the only BTVS story we'll be able to read of hers.

BTVS fans have to have

I liked this book. And it is supposedly the last one to be published. It has several twists and turns to it, and sheds light on several of the characters. It really shows that Spike has a heart and yearns for love this early in the series. It sets up several coming events. Cute title, too.
