BUFFY

Sins of the Father

One night while on patrol, the Slayer and her friends are outnumber and receive aid from a totally unexpected source: Buffy's old flame, Pike. He and Buffy had a complex relationship back in Los Angeles, when the Chosen One was first called. Now, Pike has arrived in Sunnydale on the run from a stone demon with a grudge. Faced with this blast from the past, Buffy finds herself caught between her history with Pike...and her future with Angel.

But there's little time to contemplate this situation as vamp activity rises and Giles, in particular, becomes the target of mysterious, brutal, attacks. Buffy never suspects a deeper connection between old friends and new enemies. With the help of her friends, Buffy unmasks the evil entities--and discovers that even a Watcher can be watched...

Review: For those of you who were looking for a follow-up to Buffy's romance with the character Pike in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie, this is the book for you. For those of you who don't remember, Pike (Luke Perry) was a slacker from Buffy's school who she fell in love with when his friend was killed and turned into a vampire. Now, Pike is back, bring back old feelings. Pike's character is facinating and his dynamics with the other Scoobies is priceless (especially Pike and Oz). But, when this book his focusing on Buffy's romantic problems, it's dealing with Giles's romance with a woman and the Watcher's past. Giles's story is quite dark, and has some great twists (up till the very end). This is definately a Four Star book.
