Buffy has been a TV and publishing phenomenon with countless official and not so official books appearing to cash in the hippest TV series for years. For those who don't know, Buffy Summers is a 16-year-old Californian girl who has been chosen for the awful task of slaying the undead with an array of weapons, a few handy martial arts moves and a killer dress sense. Not only does she have to cope with the armies of vampires that have set up camp in her home town of Sunnydale but there is also the small problem of being a teenager to get to grips with too. The Sunnydale High School Yearbook is a nice, fun addition to the Buffy universe, presenting lots of in joke material in the form of Buffy's High School Yearbook, complete with little handwritten notes from her best friends and lots of reminders about people, places and events that have been part of her vampire-slaying high school years.For newcomers to the show, a lot of the material is simply too ingrained in backstory to make much sense, but for those devoted to all things Buffy, it will make a great addition to their bookshelf. The photos are great and authors Golden and Holder have put so much enthusiasm and care into the book that you can't help but devour it. More than simply a cash in, this is a worthy and well thought out Buffy tie-in book. --Joanne Wells

This novelization is based on three second-season episodes: Surprise, Innocence and Passion, and includes 8 pages of colour stills. These stories develop the darker side of the vampire Angel's nature. A gypsy curse returned his soul to him so that he would suffer remorse for his evil deeds and he has been helping Buffy in her fight against evil ever since. Over time, the two have fallen in love. But the curse specifies that if he experiences even one moment of true happiness, he will lose his soul once more. This happens when he and Buffy sleep together for the first and only time and he reverts to his demonic nature.His ensuing actions are truly brutal. Buffy is already racked with guilt for sleeping with him and his transformation seems to confirm the depth of her mistake as she realises that her mother, Giles and all of her friends are now in mortal danger.
These three stories are very dark and very powerfully told. The novelization follows the TV versions faithfully, filling in the thoughts and feelings of the tormented characters. These stories are about passion and some of its darker consequences and the book, like the original episodes, leaves the reader with plenty to think about. --Liz Sourbut

Door to Alternity is volume two of the "Unseen" trilogy of Buffy/Angel crossover novels. It's filled with demons, monsters and magic, but also with more human violence than is usual in these stories, with an all-out shooting war between Mexican and Russian gangs in LA and Sunnydale. At the end of volume one, The Burning, Buffy and Angel saw a man disappear into a strange shimmering golden circle which then vanished and now similar circles are appearing in Sunnydale, disgorging monsters of every description. Buffy and Riley are kept busy fighting them, helped by Spike, who still can't hurt humans and is delighted to have something he can hit. Meanwhile, in LA, more teenagers are vanishing, apparently into thin air. The background story takes us to the USSR in 1971 where scientists were experimenting with a "Reality Tracer" designed to make contact with alternate realities, looking for worlds where communism has triumphed. When the Soviet Union collapsed, some of the scientists brought their machine to LA, where they hooked up with the Russian mafia who are currently fighting a turf war with Mexican gangs. But the portals created by this machine aren't working exactly as they should. In amongst the action, the authors still find time for the familiar bickering between the regulars--Cordelia's Wesley-baiting and Anya's general tactlessness are particularly enjoyable, and it's good to see Tara included in the Scooby Gang. This is a very good second volume and sets the stage for what should be an explosive finale in volume three: Long Way Home --Elizabeth Sourbut
