The strongest magick ever distilled, and the deadliest butcher England has ever known...
Buffy Summers is on the trail of a killer demon in Sunnydale, and reluctantly accepts the help of Spike. Anything's better than his moping around. But Spike -- as usual -- has his own agenda, and it involves something the demon is carrying: a vial of pure magickal power. Spike knows plenty of people and demons who will pay top dollar for this vial: Doc, Rack...and an ancient evil known as The First.
Spike has encountered The First before. In the good old days in Victorian London, when Spike, Drusilla, Angelus, and Darla ran through the night in pursuit of dark fun, another evil being was stalking the streets, dispatching young women with brutal efficiency. But when the so-called "Jack the Ripper" struck too close to their twisted "family," the vampires found themselves on the same side as the Slayer of that time. Working to bring down Jack, and running afoul of The First, Spike and the Slayer formed an uneasy alliance, which followed Spike all through the twentieth century to present day Sunnydale, now blanketed in a mysterious fog.... Customer reviews:  By Nicole "a good read", 2008-11-27
I thought this book was really good. With a book by Nancy Holder you can go either of two ways--really good or really bad. This, I would say, is really good. It's got some of that 'ol Buffy gore and destruction on top of the heart of the show that clearly shows through in this book. I recommend it, especially if you love season 6. I do not, however, recommend the Book of Fours book by Nancy Holder. It was not a good book and it was so dry and slow. Good Reading to everyone!
An interesting Buffy book., 2008-07-25
Blood and Fog by Nancy holder is a good Buffy read. But it is often incorrect.
Spike's hair wasn't white yet at the time of Jack of the ripper in 1888. And as far as I know Angel never killed a slayer and avoided them.
The parts in Sunnydale were good. Nancy Holder had most of the character's personalities down. Dawn, Buffy, and Spike were shown well. Even though I am pretty sure at points in the story she got the slang wrong. Buffy wasn't really saying "wigged" or "wig" that much anymore and I think Spike used some English slang incorrectly at one point.
Other then that the story is good and interesting. I loved the flash backs in time, though I wished the story had taken more time in Sunnydale. Customers who bought this item also bought:
