Customer reviews:  Great Angel/Spike fun ! , 2007-08-22
This book is the best Buffy/Angel cross-over that I've read so far ! Buffy plays no active roll, but in Spikes' mind and memories she plays an important roll in the book.
After Buffy's rejection when she discovers he bought those demon-eggs in season 5 and discovering that there's a price on his head, Spike joins 3 demons for a well-paid burglary in L.A. ($ 50.000, enough to pay off his debts and give some to Buffy for her debts).
Meanwhile in L.A., Angel is hunting down a mystical object (Giles asked him to) and having some trouble finding and getting it: turnes out a lot of people are looking for these objects (there are 7 of them), including 2 different groups of Gypsies - and we all know how well Angel gets along with Gypsies !!!
The book is set in an alternate storyline: Buffy season 5 and Angel season 3. Which is technically impossible, but Mel Odom tells you in the beginning and I guess it's the writers' privilege to change these things.
Although Angel plays a big part of the story, most of the new thing I learned were about Spike. We learn how he fell in love (really bad) with a Gypsy woman at the end of the 19th century and learn a lot more about his romantic side -- because beneath all that though-guy exterior, Spike is a hard-core romantic deep down in his cold, unbeating heart.
The book is really good, especially if you want to learn more about Spike and what makes him (and more specifically his heart) tick !
 Better than what I expected, 2004-07-15
I honestly didn't expect this book to be so much fun, I have read the reviews, so I knew that the confrontation between Angel and Spike was not actually one of the main stories in the book, but I always love the books where there is a bit of flashbacks to the Fang Gang.
Apart from that is funny and interesting, honestly, I recommend it, nice book to read.
