i think B said she read it, i think she posted abo ut that when she listed the books she has read, or someone on here did, cuz i remember seeing it. thats one that even i've never read and i read tons of Buffy books, not a fan of the crossover ones quite as much though, but i have read a few of those. i tihnk the only ones i haven't read that were crossovers are Heat and Monster Island.
but i didn't know that it was so controversial thats kinda funny lol.

I haven't heard of any controversy surrounding it, and I'm a Spuffy fan... I'm still reading it. Life kinda gets in the way of finishing a book sometimes, no matter how good it is. But so far, I really like the premise of it. I'm starting to like the way that some of the authors are making these little nods to past episodes, like how Monster Island is a semi sequel to Hero, and this one is a semi sequel to She. Plus, the line about Nathan Fillion had me cracking up! BA

Oh yea me too..theres a few of em in the book..making refrence to other Buffyverse actors....they mention Christian Kanes band Kane in it too..along wiht a couple other things I can't remember right now...
But yea when it was first comming out there was this big tado about it..ppl writing angry letters to the author and publisher that it should be banned because it was unfair and stuff...really stupid but..they lost cuz its been put on shelves now..aparently its hard to find though....I had to order it....

i've seen Heat in stores, but maybe that was a long time ago, i can't remember, but i just never bought it, its like once one of the Buffy/Angel books has been out for al ong time i for some reason don't bother. well mostly cuz i don't wanna read ones that are set like way back in earlier seasons, its just not as fun if they're that far back to me. weird i know lol. and She was not a fave ep of mine but its interesting how its a sequel of sorts.

generally, the hardcover books come out around my birthday, so I make Daddy get em for me. It's set in seasons 7&4 (B and A respectively), they just reference past eps. I also noted the Kane ref, but the one about Nathan really stuck out. I also remember in Immortal, they referenced Felicity as well... I'm not done with it, but the whole terra cotta army thing just gives me goosebumps... The other ones I really like are the ones that ref actual history, like Spike & Dru was set in WWII, my strongest history point, and Blood and Fog was about Jack the Ripper BA

Haven't got Tales, or the Lost Slayer. Actually, I didn't have to order it, B&N near my house, like, knows me now (as the weird girl who buys a Buffy mag once a month and reads it in the car before i leave ) No, I'm kidding, they usually set a hardcover aside for me when they come in. Gotta friend who works there. BA

well i may read it then since its set in s 7 and 4, thats cool, the only Buffy one i read set in s 7 was Apocolypse Memories which by the way is one of the best Buffy novels ever. cuz it had this archangel in it and stuff, really good. i forgot what season Seven Crows was set in, but that was a good crossover one. yeah ok i may read Heat, but i am so slow lately, still on book 2 of Wicked Willow trilogy, but after book 3 i may get Heat.
and yeah i love the Lost Slayer ones too, i have all 4 of those from when they first came out, they were awesome.
