Product Description

Favourite villain Ethan Rayne is back in town - along with the ancient evil known only as The First. Buffy Summers makes enemies. Powerful ones. She can't avoid it - it goes with the job of being the Slayer, the one girl in all the world with the strength to destroy vampires and demons. Those who fall foul of her and live to tell the tale tend to harbour resentment and thoughts of revenge. One such is Ethan Rayne; devious, treacherous and suave. Ethan has a history with Giles, too. Their dabbling in the occult in their wilder student days led Giles to accept his destiny as a Watcher and set Ethan firmly on the path to darkness. Now Ethan returns to Sunnydale - surprisingly, asking for Buffy's help. He seems to have roused The First, the ancient evil that predates humankind. But then The First offers Ethan a deal which will gain him ultimate power. All Ethan has to do in exchange is to lure Buffy into battle...

Customer Reviews

bleeding awful
This book is the novelization of the game, and it reads like it. There are fight scenes, interspersed by fight scenes, with some nice graphic gory description and oh look, more fighting. Of the characters on the cover only Buffy is there the whole way through the book, the others turning up 1/3rd and 2/3rds of the way through. Despite Ethan being a big part of the synopsis and the art work, he barely exists in the book. Also the synopsis is very misleading (surprise).
This book gets one star for being BtVS and one for at least trying to feature Ethan. Aside from that, really not worth it.

bufffy - whens this fight gonna end
i gave up reading this as the first fight of the book was still going on at page number 98!!!! which is way way to longgggggggggggggg. whoever heard of a book based on a game based on a tv show anyway as it is certainly not a winning formula if this book is anything to go by!!!1
