Buffy Books:
The Harvest : 2 stakes: New school, same assignment. Something's wrong in Sunnydale, Ca...something more than the usual bad hair day. As long as there have been vampires, there has been the Slayer. One Girl in all the world, to find them where they gather and to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. In this generation, she is Buffy Summers, 16 years old and a new student at Sunnydale High. Her experiences at her last school persuaded Buffy to try to resume the life of a normal teenager. But it is no coincidence that Buffy has come to this town at this time. The area is a center of mystical energy, and all the signs point to an imminent, crucial upheaval. Once in a century comes The Harvest: a night when the Master Vampire can draw enough power to break free and open the portal between his world and ours...unleashing havoc. With the help if new friends and a new Watcher, Buffy's back in business......
Halloween Rain: 2 stakes: Chaos Reigns. Around Sunnydale, they say a scarecrow saturated with Halloween rain will come alive and slaughter anyone in sight. (Lovely place, Sunnydale.) Buffy's best friends, Xander and Willow, used to think the tale was nonsense--- but after a few adventures with Buffy, they're not so sure. Even without a maniacal scarecrow, a Sunnydale Halloween is a truly horrific happening. There are enough zombies and vampies about, ready to party hearty and eat some brains, to keep the Slayer and her friends up all night. And then the rain starts to fall.....
Coyote Moon: 3 stakes: Of Shapeshifters and Skinwalkers.... The seedy carnival looks like just the thing to give Buffy and her best buds, Xander and Willow, a break from staking bloodsuckers. Some greasy food, a few cheap thrills---what more could a Slayer ask for? But then Buffy senses something evil behind this carnival. Xander and Willow aren't so sure. They don't buy Buffy's notion that the carneys are somehow connected to the corpses turing up around Sunnydale. It doesn't help that her two best friends are each interested in someone at the carnival. Which puts the burden of proof on Buffy. Can she find out what's going on in time to save her friends? Or has the Slayer become prey?
Night of the Living Rerun: 2 stakes: A History Lesson? As if real ife wasn't already overflowing with vampire-staking, now Buffy has begun to dream about slaying! Night after night, it's the same thing. She's back with the Puritans, a Slayer on the trail of a witch. What can it mean? Buffy gets a clue when Xander and Giles starts acting like they have ancient alter egos. Now the stage is set for a symbolic replay of the night of the Master was accidently trapped in the other dimension. Only this time, the Master wants a happy ending---for himself. Buffy and her friends must prevent the Master from rewriting the script and escaping his supernatural prison before Sunnydale becomes history.
Blooded: 4 stakes : The Kindest Cut. Chirayoju, a vampire of Chinese lore, adn sanno, the legendary Japanese Mountain King, haev been locked in deadly battle for centuries. Literally. An ancient curse imprisoned the spirits of these two warriors in an antique sword. Until the sword arrives in Sunnydale. Freed by accident, Chirayoju searches for a host body that will alow him to continue wreaking havoc among the living and the dead. Now Buffy's on the trail of this legendary vampire...a bloody trail that leads straight through the heart of the Buffy-Xander-Willow triangle. By: Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder.
Visitors: 3 stakes:Dance of Death. The paranormal forces centered in Sunnydale attract the vilest kinds of evil: vamps, demons...and student teachers? An invasion of collegians testing their teaching prowess on Buffy and her peers coincides with the arrival of a supernatural stalker. The Slayer feels the evil entity watching her every move, and she's not the only one. But researching the beast is going to be problematic with the student teachers setting up shop in Gile's home turf---the school library. When the stalker starts to take his malicious game to the next level, Buffy finds herself face to face with a being unlike any she's ever encountered. But can she figure out its weakness before she is forced to participate in its dance of death. By: Laura Anne Gilman and Josepha Sherman
Unnatural Selection: 3 stakes: Fairie Tale. Willow's trying to earn a little pocket change by taking the usual teenage part-time job---baby-sitting the neighbor's kid. But her child-care chores turn into a scene from a horror movie when the baby gives her the evil eye and attacks. Barely escaping the tiny terror, Willow can't forget the missing human child---or the monstrous thing left in its place. The childish changeling keeps coming back to haunt and taunt her. Buffy and her posse soon discover a possible connection between Willow's infant interloper and some strange artifacts Giles found at a local archaeological dig. The evil plaguing Willow was once trapped underground. Now that it has been unearthed by new construction on the property, it's ready to cause some major mischief...and worse. By: Mel Odom.
The Power of Persuasion: 2 stakes: Dangerous Divas. When the female population of Sunnydale starts strutting its girl power, the push for gender equality seems like a normal expression of '90s feminism. After all, a girl trying out for the football tean isn't usually a sign of imminent danger. But when the guys start acting like powerless pawns and a few even turn up dead, Buffy Summers notices that the local womyn's movement has reached a feverish-and probably unnatural-pitch. The Slayer is the only one who can see straight during the ultimate battle of the sexes. Her friends-including Giles-are spellbound by the malignant muses permeating the school. Even the local vampires are acting strange. Alone in her search for answers, Buffy must figure out who's behind the sinister sisterhood...and close the gender gap before the feminist revolution goes too far. By: Elizabeth Massie
Deep Water: 2 stakes: Shapeshifters. Willow's soft spot for critters finds her spending a cold winter morning along the coast as part of a volunteer rescue team, cleaning up an oil spill that has damaged the marine habitat. While climbing over some rocks, she discovers another unexpected victim of the spillage--- a selkie, a shapeshifting seal girl who won't be able to return to the sea until the oil is removed from her coat. Willow takes the creature back to the library so that Giles and the Slayertettes can help her restore her magickal coat. However, though "Ariel," as the posse dubs her, is endearing in her innocnce, Buffy can't quite shake her innate suspicions of the creature whose nature, like the ocean, is ever changing. Unfortunately, the spill has forced more than a selkie from the cold water. Merrows look very much like traditional mermaids---with one important and fatal difference. As if things weren't complicated enough... By: Laura Anne Gilman and Josepha Sherman
Here Be Monsters: 4 stakes: This is the one and only book that I do not own. I read it at a library and can never seem to find it at any book store. Basically this book shows some what if situation for Buffy through a demon. I liked it so check it out!
Ghoul Trouble: 2 stakes: Violent Vixen. Something wicked has been preying on Sunnydale students---and whatever is it, its methods are pretty gruesome. Buffy locates some human bones that have been picked clean, and knows that she's dealing with an unearthly evil. Some help from the Scooby Gang would be ideal, but they've run into trouble of their own. Oz and Xander are literally (perhaps unnaturally) mesmerized by a hottie new chick band headlining at the Bronze, and Willow has been captured by Sunnydale's latest resident carnivores. What they need is the Slayer. But in order to help her friends, Buffy must first dust a campire---one that has an urgent interest in Joyce Summers, the unique ability to resist sunlight, and an open invitation to the Summer's house... By: John Passarella
Doomsday Deck : 3 stakes: Arts and Crafts...and evil. It's that time of the year for the Sunnydale Sidewalk Art Festival and Buffy and the gang have been enlisted to help Joyce prepare for the big event. In fact, Xander's espcially eager to pitch in, due to the arrival of a major hottie---a young artist named Justine. She specializes in Tarot paintings, and tells Xander that she senses much energy surrounding his aura, Xander naturally assumes his latent psychic powers have been awakened. But Buffy's not quite ready to call the psychic hotline. She has a nagging suspicion that something about Justine is not five by five---especially after she reaches for Justine's prized Tarot deck, which causes the artist to fly off the handle in a big way. Then there's the fact that vampires appear uncomfortable in Justine's presence. One by one, each of Buffy's closest friends seems to be surrendering their free will to an unknown, unseen force....By: Diana G. Gallagher
