Summary: Veronique is an immortal
vampire that continues to return in the body of a newly dead person
every time she has been staked. However, she wants to become truly
immortal by summoning an ancient demon called the Triumvirate. And of
course her choice spot to do so would be in Sunnydale, especially with
the extra magical vibes emanating from the Hellmouth. Unfortunately,
while Buffy is trying to keep Veronique's vampire henchmen at bay, she
also has to deal with the fact that her mother is sick in the hospital.
There's a chance that she has cancer, but they won't know for sure until
they've performed surgery on her. Buffy has to decide where she's needed
most: with her mother, or to stop the end of the world. |

Review: This book never really sticks with me. I've read it about two or three times by now and never
end up remembering all the details. So either it's not that great or
I've just got a really bad memory. However, I am left with a
pretty good impression of it. I particularly liked that there was the
mental struggle that Buffy had to face. Choosing to be with her mother
or to fight for the world is one hell of a decision to make and it was
written extremely well. I didn't like that Buffy tried to push Angel
away because he doesn't have the same lifespan as human, although it was
very understandable. However, seeing Angel care so much for Buffy was
beautiful to read. As well, they reached a bit into his past and showed
us just how small the world really is. When writer's accomplish that I
always enjoy reading about it because it makes us believe that we've all
had some sort of impact on others, and then grown because of it. The
best lines definitely came from the interaction between Angel and
Xander. The comedy was just hilarious, I love it when they put those two
together. So for
the most part, I enjoyed this novel, the final battle scene didn't do
much for me, but the very essence of the book was enjoyable to read. |
