In the first hardcover installment of the bestselling "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series, Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder, coauthors of "The Watcher's Guide" ("Fans will suck this tome dry" -- "Entertainment Weekly)," present a supernatural tale that pits Buffy against the deadliest vampire yet: one who is..."Immortal." During a routine slaying, Buffy Summers runs into a small group of vampires who seem to be out for more than the usual bite-and-suck. As the vamps scatter, one of them stays behind, willing to sacrifice itself to help the others escape. Though surprised -- vampires aren't exactly known for their generosity -- the Slayer doesn't waste time pondering the demon's motivation and kills it. Or so she thinks. But the next night a new vampire confronts the Chosen One and her friends. One who knows Buffy's name and can anticipate her basic attack. One who doesn't have the proper respect for Mr. Pointy. One whose name is Veronique. "She cannot die. Strike her down, butlike the night she will always come again. And she will bring forth the end of Man...." Every time Buffy kills her, Veronique rises again in… (altro)
I wasn't very impressed by this, in the throes of a Buffy obsession as I am. The main plot, revolving around a vampire that is reborn into a new body each time she is killed,was good and menacing, and had some interesting flashbacks. There was a secondary plot about ghosts that wasn't fully resolved, but maybe it is in another book. The narrative jumped around enough to confuse me, especially as the point of view also shifted often, on occasion in the middle of a paragraph. The use of slayer slang to identify the characters seemed a little forced. ( )
