Ghoul Trouble (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Book

In her efforts to lead a normal life, Buffy constantly has to juggle the horrors of school and the hellmouth, and this adventure is no exception. She seldom has much free time from her slaying duties to keep up with school work, and as a result her new guidance counsellor has identified three subjects she is in danger of failing. In her final year at high school this could mean not graduating and not going to college. However, the appearance in town of an ancient and powerful vampire, who is apparently able to walk abroad in full sunlight without bursting into flames, is a cause for concern, as is the gnawed human leg-bone Oz finds under a bush in the cemetery. Giles fears a gang of ghouls may be hunting in Sunnydale. Meanwhile, an alluring girl band called Vyxn is mesmerising Xander, Oz and an old flame of Cordelia's called Troy. Is it just their skimpy leather costumes, or do Vyxn's four members have some supernatural hold over their male audience?This is John Passarella's first Buffy novel, but he has slotted right into the groove: the dialogue is sharp and witty, the fight scenes really come to life, and the dual plot strands gather nicely into a tense finish. This is a quick read, but an entertaining one. --Elizabeth SourbutRead More
