    The BEST Buffy novel I've ever read!!!
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2022*

This book is a dream come true! It satisfied my fanatic love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You can tell the writer is a mega fan and she crafted this novel in such a smart way that would please any Buffy fan. It has so many elements from the show and it stays original at the same time. I wish I'd thought of this! Read it! You will love it. This book is the holy grail of Buffy novels.

    Mediocre bads
  

*by Z***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2022*

Here’s one quote from this book that will immediately tell you all you need to know: “Angelus took pity on the humans.”This is the second book from the new line-up that falls flat. And the reasons are similar to the first one.But let’s start with the good. There’s always some good.The premise on its own is okay. It’s a parallel universe, and the villains roam free and live together in harmony. Sounds simple enough and even works. The main characters are Johnathan, Andrew and Anya. And the first two even work well as protagonists. You know they’re not entirely evil, but rather misguided. In that sense, Lily Anderson nails the narrative. They are very much similar to their on-screen selves with their fears and insecurities and unhealthy attachment to Warren.And that’s about it.Now Anya, that’s an entirely different story. Unfortunately all the things that make her charming in the show are dialed to 11 and come off as annoying. There’s a reason she’s not in every scene, she’s merely balancing the narrative. Here she’s too much and feels like the writer’s self insert in a bad fanfic.But the “wtf am I even reading” moment truly comes when you meet this book’s version of Angelus. This is the character that views murder and torture as art. If you aren’t prepared to delve into the twisted snd sick of his mind, please don’t attempt to write him. He is not, nor should be ever seen as a romantic hero. He is not sweet or nice or considerate not to humans and not to demons. He is vicious and why do writers keep forgetting that?Same goes for Spike but in this case, he is at least much closer to the original than Angelus.I don’t know about other readers but this particular brand of wishful writing irritates me terribly. If you want to play around with ensouled or chipped Spike or darker version of Angel, go ahead but don’t call them what they aren’t. There is simply no scenario in which Angelus wouldn’t kill everyone or would serve drinks. If you didn’t pay attention — arrogance is one of his issues. If you need a reminder, Watch Innocence, Passion, Eternity, Soulless, Cavalry, Salvage, Destiny, all the flashbacks. This is who you’re dealing with, not whoever’s called Angelus in this book.This becomes only that much worse every time the author is forcing that random ship between Anya and Angelus. A ship that makes as much sense as Fred and Xander. To make this happen the writer even gets rid of Darla (which does feel like fan fiction written by a threatened narrator). Darla is a gorgeous, smart, evil, and deep character but here she’s used for laughs and for enforcing the writer’s ship.Dru much like Oz seems like an easy character to write but isn’t. There’s a thin line between her gothic-crazy and straight up toddler behavior. Unfortunately, this book slides over the line.Now there’s a whole town full of big bads and no one clearly cares how some of them even made it there without the events of the shows but fine, au is au. The problem though, these are all fan-service demons that are supposed to make you go “Ah I remember that one!” You know what was beautiful about “In every Generation”? You went “huh, that’s a new one!” At some point references to the show become tiresome.In general, it’s not bad and written decently. If you can get past the liberties taken by the author, you may even enjoy it. There were moments I enjoyed too but unfortunately, I need to recognize the characters for the book to work.

    Love letter to the Buffyverse
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2022*

Lily Anderson’s Big Bad is an absolute love letter to the Buffyverse. Mostly taking place in an alternate reality where the mayor’s sun-shade has brought about permanent night and transformed Sunnydale into Demondale where the big bad in this story is…Buffy, and it’s demon Anya and Jonathan and Andrew (two thirds of the nerd herd) who are cast in the role of ‘heroes’ who are trying to stop her from destroying their universe. The story is so much fun it’s ridiculous. It’s clear Anderson knows the Buffyverse inside and out. Not only does she totally nail the feel of most of the characters, she pulls in an incredible number of them from both Buffy and Angel including Angel, Spike, Dru, Darla, The First, Glory, and even the Smile Time puppets, just to name a few. Not only that she also includes an insane number obscure references. As I said, Big Bad is a love letter to longtime fans. Spike would claim it was effulgent! Thanks so much to Hyperion Avenue and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review an eARC of Big Bad.
