Official Score = 3 Devils[/caption]Buffy The Vampire Slayer... This series believe it or not maybe one of the most prolific series to hit the horror scene really pretty much ever (except for maybe for the Universal Monsters), I mean, 'Buffy' has in a lot of respects become to the horror world, what, 'Star Trek' has been to the Science Fiction world for the last few decades! They have released books, comics, a movie, a TV series and a spinoff and so much more!
Now you might be wondering why I am mentioning this, well simply put, I came across an interesting novel a few years back, called, 'Sins Of The Father', a novel that was written by: Christopher Golden, and which is part of the, 'Buffyverse' that combined both the TV series, and elements of the original movie... What with the character, 'Pike' (Played by Luke Perry in the movie, coming to Sunnydale and all!)

In this novel, Buffy is going to have to resolve her un resolved feelings for, 'Pike', and the awkwardness that it brings between her and Angel.[/caption]You see in this novel, Pike has come to Sunnydale looking for help from his old girl friend and current, 'Slayer', 'Buffy'... The reason he has come to Sunnydale is the fact that he needs Buffy's help and protection in defeating a rock Demon by the name of, 'Grayhewn', due to the fact that Pike had killed her mate...
This puts Buffy in the awkward position of having to come to terms with her unresolved feelings for, 'Pike' and her current feelings for, 'Angel'... And what makes matters worse is that when Giles starts dating one of the new teachers, he ends up slowly becoming more and more disconnected from his duties as, 'Watcher', and loosing consciousness at weird intervals!

This book is definitely well worth the read![/caption]In the end though I suspect for the most part that it is just another day on the Hellmouth for the, 'Slayer' and the rest of her, 'Scooby Gang'!
In the end, the truth is, is if you like, 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer,' then this is a fun one to get in to, and if you are looking for a way to get in to the series, then this is definitely a fun one and well worth it, but the truth for me is that being a fan of both the TV show and the movie, I mostly just found that it was great seeing Pike entering the TV show world (there really wasn't much interaction between the TV series and the Movie when the show was still on the air.)
