Buffy and the Slayer-legion travel to Tokyo in order to learn more about their dangerous new foes, as Xander journeys to Transylvania to solicit the only person they've ever known to possess such power - Dracula!



REVIEW:

Blah.

Much like the TV show every once in a while there is a stinker in the pile and this volume wasn't as good as the others.

We get to see another side to Buffy's love life in this one and that might have a little to do with why I didn't care too much for it. When I told my husband that I was ready to drop this series he said stay with it (he has read them all already) that it's really good.

Dracula is back in this one. For those of you that has seen the show you know about how Dracula turned Xander into his Redfield. Apparently after the end of season 7 (the actual end of the TV show) Xander spent a little time with Dracula and they became buddies.

I'll read another one or two volumes before I drop this series. They are written as season 8 of the show but it just doesn't have the same feel to me.
