I just read the book Monster Island, and it turns out that one or both of the writers are in favor of B/A. I'm pretty sure from words and phrases like these in the book.

>Angel lay silent, the thought of Buffy and Spike together obscene.

>(Angel's talking)"I could never argue with you." The Slayer smiled softly--a smile Angel would have reconized had he seen it, though it would have broken his heart all over again. There was always a lingering melancholy between them now, a sadness for what might have been if the fates had seen it in their hearts to let them stay together. But their destinies were separate. Begrudgingly they had resigned themselves to that fact. It still hurt to speak to him, and worse to see him, but this was how it was meant to be. She hated it, but accepted it.

> He and Buffy had accepted what fate had brought them. When this crisis was over, she would go home, and he would stay in Los Angeles, and that was the way things were going to be. Angel would say or do nothing that would make it more difficult for them. But whatever fate wrought upon them, he would always love her.

Sometimes it's hard to know what a published author is in favor of (B/A, B/S, W/O, etc.).

Have any of you come across books like this?
 
I read/own that book! Was really good.

I also own the Buffy/Angel cross over '7 Crows' (with Riley and Sam).

I ALSO own the Buffy/Angel Cross over trilogy. (can't remember the names and don't wanna go upstairs for them).
 
Monster Island is very exciting, but it doesn't go deep into the Spike/Buffy/Angel love triangle. It's mostly about our parents' hopes, dreams, and expectations of us.
 
The "Unseen" Trilogy

I've just come back from my hols where I finally got round to reading the "Unseen" trilogy - as recommended by you guys some months ago (Thanks - I really enjoyed it - nice to see a bit of sci-fi in the Buffyverse).
However, I have a question - What was the deal with Spike /William at the end? Is there another book explaining it or is this one of those pesky paradox things that make my head hurt?
(Sorry Yanks - hols=holidays=vacation)
 
Blood and Fog

I dont know whether anyone has read this book, but I thought I'd share my thoughts with you (my peeps - lol) anyway.
Personally, Ive always been a big fan of Nancy Holder, (her and Christopher Golden are my faves) but I couldnt help but feel VERY disapointed with this book.
Some of the characters speech was VERY out of character, especially Tara and Giles.
And the storyline? Not that great. I didnt understand it either, the blurb on the back suggests its about The First, where in fact, its not, and its about Jack the Ripper, unless I missed something!
And the ending? It was kinda sudden, I dont wanna spoil it for people who havent read it, but, I think you understand I was disapointed! lol!
Anyone else read it? What do you think?

Don't you just hate it when writers do that? I like to get things explained properly - closure please, people - is it too much to ask for! 🙂
 
I don't get why Drusilla, Angelus, and Darla are all walking towards William. Wasn't it only Dru who sired him? Angelus and Darla weren't there... or maybe that's not back in time and just an alternate reality...

I have a bunch, don't even know what they all are, but what i've noticed (just my generalized opinion, deffinately exceptions, and by no means the final word) it that the only ones that *really* capture the characters and the essence of the show are the ones by Chris Golden and Nancy Holder (CG especially). What does everyone else think?

As far as Buffy books go, I have 5
Chosen
The Lost Slayer (all in one book)
The Book of Fours
Immortal
Reading the vampire slayer, the unofficial critical companion to Buffy and Angel (and this is a good book by the way, more intended for adults than the other books.)
I also have the OMWF script book
and several Buffy comics, if those might count as books...
 
...and how did Spike get back to Sunnydale for the next season after ending up in the alternate reality as New-William-with-Spike's-memory? Does anyone know Nancy Holden or Jeff Marriote?🙂
