Tempted Champions - Buffy the Vampire Slayer Author:Yvonne Navarro
Fallen Angels
Buffy's shaken to learn that Celina, the new girl in town, is actually a vamp who's heard of Buffy's rep. She's here to challenge the Slayer and even Angel -- in L.A. -- is concerned that this time, Buffy may be in over her head. Celina's not the only monster skulking about the neighborhood. D'Hoffryn ha... more »s returned to Sunnydale to offer Anya another chance as a vengeance demon. Can she give up her romance with Xander and the friendships she's forged as a mortal for another shot at immortality -- even if it comes with a horrific price tag? Dawn tries to explain to Anya that humanity is worth the occasional heartache, even as she has doubts of her own. Suddenly Buffy learns the terrifying truth about Celina: she's not just any vamp -- she was once a Slayer herself. Buffy has struggled with her own dark side enough to question the subtle distinction between "Slayer" and killer. If Celina turned Buffy, and Willow restored Buffy's soul, could she possibly find love with Angel at last? And, more importantly, would she still be a hero?« less
I really wanted to love this book, but the dialog fell flat, and i just couldn't overlook the typos. However, the plot was decent (it read like an episode of the tv series), and i liked the idea of Buffy being faced with a hard choice. So often she just does the right thing because it's what she does, but what if the wrong thing holds the promise of freedom and personal happiness? It was a great concept, just poorly executed in my opinion.
