Summary: excellent book
Comment: this book starts out with someone killing half-breed demons in sunnydale. when buffy and the scooby gang investigate, they find out that a pure bred demon plans to get rid of all half breeds and his next stop is los angeles. while buffy and crew get ready to track the demons to l, angel is visited by none other than the leader who has a death wish for angel. this book brings together the crew of both television shows and does a beautiful job of it. it also shows diffrent sides of the beloved characters that we have grown to love over the past 7 years and i think that any buffy and angel fan should run to the bookstore and pick this one up. it does drag in a couple of spots but it is definitely worth the money.

Summary: 2 great world come together
Comment: This is a great book! It was majorly long so you may need to set a block aside to read this. While Buffy is figuring out what's going down with the killing of half-breeds in Sunnydale, Angel and Company are in LA dealing with different mission. When Buffy's problem moves to LA ,they combine sides together. The total bases of this story is about Doyle and the episode "Hero" where he gives his life for a group of half-breed demons. The story flows well and the interactions with Buffy and Angel teaming up is great! You get see the other members of each group interact which is a treat. The writers did a great job and I applaud them for having to write so many characters and so many different situations. If you loved the Buffy and Angel days then this is the book for you.

Summary: Monster Mash
Comment: "Monster Island" is only the second book in the Buffy/Angel series of books to have been originally released in hardback. The only other one was the Buffy book, "Immortal". Why this is, I don't know, but I got the just released paperback. The tale is written by one of the premiere handlers of Buffy fiction, Christopher Golden. He co-wrote it with Thomas E. Sniegpski. One knows that the characters are going to be handled well and written for accordingly with Golden involved. This is a Buffy/Angel crossover novel, and the best one to do so so far. The story is large and quite epic. Someone, or something, is killing of half breed demons in Sunnydale at an alarming rate. A ways away in the City Of Angels, the same thing is happening there. Angel realizes that the connection strikes a lot closer to home and soon Buffy and her gang are in L.A. to fight alongside Angel and his compadres. The character of Doyle, who figured prominently in the first 8 episodes of "Angel", is part of the plot and it's a most welcome connection. The big finale takes place on a magical island filled with all sorts of races of demons. Buffy and the others must fight the great evil before thousands of half breeds are slaughtered. The meshing of the two worlds just runs smoothly here. It always does, but this one has almost everyone getting together, except for Giles, Anya, and Dawn. The characters are all written as they would be on the show by the most knowing of standards. There are demons galore here, and just may be one of the most demon packed series in the franchise. I can't tell you when it is placed, as in what seasons, because there is no information on that given. Buffy talks about being brought back from the dead, which would mean season 6. But there is a point in the book where Wesley says they had just broke Faith out of jail, which happened in season 4 of "Angel", which ran during season 7 of "Buffy", but there is no Connor, who was a regular member during season 4 of "Angel", and a couple characters visit the ruins of Sunnydale High, which was restored in season 7 of "Buffy", so who knows when it actually takes place. Did anyone follow that?. There's a number of things here and there that a Buffy/Angel fan would remember and get. Sure to put a smile on your face. The story is one of the strongest in the line of books, and is written solidly with a sharp eye for detail and characterization. Each individual series of books, Angel and Buffy, keep getting better and better. And when they crossover like this, it's just pure golden. Christopher, that is.
