Which of these 20 Buffy/Angel Books Should I Buy?

[Eloise]

Hey guys! 🙂

Well, I only have 10 or so Buffy novels, so I figured I needed some more.

I've found these 20 for sale cheap, and I don't know what ones to buy! Don't know how many I'll buy either, maybe just a couple, maybe most of them. xD Broad range, I know...

So, I'd just appreciate it if anyone could recommend ones they they are best or say ones that they don't think are as good as other Buffy books. Maybe you'll be generous enough to list the ones you've read in order of preference! Any advice appreciated. 🙂

I pretty much think anything written by Chris Golden is worth a read cause he's a great writer. Out of those I've only read "Child of the hunt" and "Sins of the father" and I thought they were both really decent. Not my fave Buffy books but a good read.

I HIGHLY recommend "The Gatekeeper Trilogy"... Back before S4, I thought "If there is ever a BtVS movie, I hope they adapt this story for the screenplay". 🙂 It's amazing, really, and it gets ALL the major characters (pre-S4) involved. 🙂

I just finished Resurrecting Ravana today! It was pretty good, but not one of the best ones. I remember really enjoying Sins of the Father. The book is for the tv series, but Pike from the buffy movie is in it. I loved the gatekeeper triolgy too. I remember really enjoying Child of the Hunt. It was about faeries and I really like the myths that the writer brought into the story. I liked The Longest Night too because it was a bunch of different stories.

I will admit I've never read any of the Angel novels, but almost all of the BtVS ones I have are good. 🙂 The only one I didn't care too much for was "Resurrecting Ravana".
Oh also? "Spike and Dru: Pretty Maids All In a Row" was really good, too! 🙂 I have the hardcover copy of that one.

Oh I love "Pretty maids all in a row" that one is excellent.
I really enjoyed the crossover novels "Monster island" and "Heat" too.
