In his first year in Los Angeles, Angel encountered Jheira, a hunter from another dimension whose fiery emotions cause men to fall under her spell. Four years later he is astonished to find the fugitive Jheira again -- and disconcerted to find that her power over men is as strong as it was before. Someone else is looking for Jheira -- hoping that she will help him to thaw an army of demon soldiers: souls of the damned entombed beneath the eternal ice in a frozen and desolate hell. And in a museum in Los Angeles, on loan from China, one of the world's great archaeological treasures stands waiting. Thousands of warriors sculpted in terracotta, looking as if they could come to life any moment. Meantime in Sunnydale Buffy is trying to come to terms with a new and different life, juggling her work as a counsellor with looking after Dawn and keeping an eye on Spike and his fragile sanity. A demonic invincible army is the last thing that she needs...Customer reviews:  Good news/Bad news, 2007-09-27
The good news is that someone has finally taught Nancy Holder how to write a paragraph more than a sentence long. The bad news is that this novel has too little of Buffy and and much less of Angel. Those of you who like to see Buffy and Angel together will be disappointed. There are many bad guys and half the novel is written from their point of view. And yes, they are predictable and tiresome. At one point the novel comes to a screeching halt when Holder takes an entire chapter (Chapter 11) to write a fairy-tale style backstory about those bad guys. I skimmed through, not wanting to waste my time on that. It was merely a repetition of what had already been established. Lots of repetition--what characters go through, they run to report to others. I was so hoping that the last Buffy/Angel crossover book would be better.
 Luke-warm at best, 2007-04-08
One of the more mediocre Buffy or/or Angel books. Full of inside this and that as if the author (who shouldn't have to prove herself at this point) wants us to know that she is fluent with the Buffyverse. The characters were pretty much cardboard charicatures of themselves. No real life in any of them. The plot was very contrived and didn't work for me. Overall I think she tried too hard and got caught up in her own intricate web.
