About this ebook
The strongest magick ever distilled, and the deadliest butcher England has ever known...
Buffy Summers is on the trail of a killer demon in Sunnydale, and reluctantly accepts the help of Spike. Anything's better than his moping around. But Spike -- as usual -- has his own agenda, and it involves something the demon is carrying: a vial of pure magickal power. Spike knows plenty of people and demons who will pay top dollar for this vial: Doc, Rack...and an ancient evil known as The First.
Spike has encountered The First before. In the good old days in Victorian London, when Spike, Drusilla, Angelus, and Darla ran through the night in pursuit of dark fun, another evil being was stalking the streets, dispatching young women with brutal efficiency. But when the so-called "Jack the Ripper" struck too close to their twisted "family," the vampires found themselves on the same side as the Slayer of that time. Working to bring down Jack, and running afoul of The First, Spike and the Slayer formed an uneasy alliance, which followed Spike all through the twentieth century to present day Sunnydale, now blanketed in a mysterious fog....

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Even with an extra star for being about Buffy I still could only give this 3 1/2 stars. It just did not grab me. I felt like the author was trying to hard to capture the slang of Buffy, even while describing fight scenes. Buffyspeak should really just come through in the dialogue. Parts of this also took place in 1888 London, and I found those to be much more compelling. The concept is ambitious, involving Jack the Ripper and a centuries old fight between two groups of evil faery folk, but there was so much explanation needed to get that concept across, and a lot of it was pretty repetitive. As I said, I liked the flashbacks to 1888, especially since they featured Spike, Dru, Darla and Angelus, and would have liked to know more about the then-Slayer, Elizabeth. There was an interesting correlation between Jack and Willow with the scent of strawberries that I was hoping would be explained or at least fleshed out, but it was not. Overall, pretty lackluster considering the hefty premise. Might have been more interesting if they'd just kept it simple and said Jack was a vampire of unusual cruelty and gone from there...with more flashbacks and backstory on Elizabeth. But, that's just my opinion.
