actually this book starts out slow but towards the middle you can't put it down.

willow's coven is reduced in size by giles' spell. the remaining members no longer trust willow because she chose to protect buffy instead of them. willow is so upset by this that she comes up with another plan to rid herself of buffy and the scooby gang.

this book has everyone in it examing themselves and the little things that we tend to take for granted and whether or not their decisions are good or bad no matter how well intentioned. it is well worth the money and any buffy fan should definitely love.

sob(i did not know that marion had passed). i am not sure whether this was done before her death or not but it is beautifully written and a credit. why does it seem all the good authors pass so quickly(v.c andrews was another).

anyway this book chronicles the lifes of the famous keep varzil the good and the hastur king carolin hastur and their many trials from adolescent to points that their separate destiny's take them.

for these 2 men meet at arillian for training in their laran. while carolin is a minor telepath, varzil is one of extraoridary ability and is soon put in keeper training. carolin soon returns home to assume his duties as heir to the throne and all the political strifes that were rampant in this period of darkover history.

the book keeps you interested from beginning to end and you are almost upset that you have to wait for the 3rd book in this story to come out to see the ending. for all darkover fans, this is definitely one you do not want to miss.

the book starts out slow but gathers lots of steam. the enterprise is still trying to help the dokaan people terraform a nearby planet when they discover lies and deceit from an old enemy who has grand plans of their own. the book is well written and the reader will not be disappointed in the end. i wish they would put wesley back in the story though because he made for interesting reading in the first 2 books of the series.

whn a probe is discovered carrying a distress signal that is over 200 years old, the enterprise is ordered to the area to see what finally became of the planet. they are very surprised to find that some of the inhabitants did survive. but as the enterprise makes first contact, they find that their is a lot of dissention and rebellion among the ranks of the people. all of them do not want the enterprise's help and will go to any extreme to keep that from happening.

the book dragged some but the story was basically very well written and definitely better than the first book in the series.

a time to die starts out with wesley the traveler trying to convince several people in the higher ranks of starfleet to at least believe captain picard's story. after some negotiations the enterprise crew is allowed to return to rashannar to try and discover the mystery behind the graveyard. they encounter all types of adventures that prove very enlightening and answer a lot of questions. for all of you fans that sort of went to sleep in the first book, this one is much better written and does not jump all over the place.

it is my believe that the books will each get better because if they did not what would make us come back and read all 9?

the rashanar battle sight was one of the most fierces sights in the donminion war. it is also a big mystery. it is a graveyard of ships from both sides that all went on fighting until they had no more weapons. since no one lived to tell about it, it is a big enigma. the enterprise is assinged to the area to collect bodies and to keep scalpers away from the ships. easier said then done. the battle sight holds many mysteries as to how so many ships lost in this battle and if the enterprise is not careful, they can end up in the same shape.

for all you star trek fans, this book starts out very slow, building up to a spectacular ending. don't let the first part deter you from finishing or you will be disappointed. it also brings back a dear friend that i am also glad they introduced. happy reading

for a season finale of buffy the vampire slayer in season 3, willow went evil after her lover tara was shot and killed. of course the writers figured out how to bring her back from the edge, but what would have happened if she could not have been stopped?

this book decides to take the reader on an alternate track and show what the tv show would not have time to do. this is the first in a three part series where willow takes over sunnydale and the population at hand is at a lost as how to stop her. it has wonderful insights into our favorite characters and it is too bad that this could not be made into a movie. i though allyson hannigan did a wonderful job as evil willow and this would really be a good role for her. for all of the buffy fans out there who thoght that season 6 season finale was probaly the best or second only to season 2(I liked season 2 better myself), this is the book for you.

piper is stressed out. she has too much to do between being a good wife and a club owner. an innocent wish that there could be 2 of her comes true. at first piper thinks that this is just the perfect solution. but when darklighters kidnap leo and her powers are lost, she begins to wonder if she can find a solution to save her husband and restore the power of three.

this book could have had more funnier scenes in it. it was a bit too series for something that in my opinion could have been a good comedy. like the charmed episode with the 3 prues. it was a good read but it could have been more humorus.

the book starts out with a grave digger unearthing a fallen tombstone. when he digs around further and finds the coffin he finds a journal and takes it with him. these events unleash a 150 year old curse upon smallville. all of a sudden there are a rash of freak accidents and deaths that are attributed to the curse. the whole town is freaking out trying to find answers and our hero is up to his eyeballs with the curse and a couple of other problems.

the book is well written and will keep you on edge until the end. my only complaint with the book is the ending. it was so anticlimax and boring that i could not believe the same author actually wrote the ending.(it was more like you got to be kidding after all this buildup).

for once an author has decided to show more of the character of lex luthor. lex has to go into metropolis for a few days and asks clark to come along. after some arguement his parents consent.(the only part of the book i really could not see them doing.) as lex tries to show clark a good time, they get involved in a bunch of trouble from japaneese mafia to secret agent who thinks he has found an alien in the mix. how that turns out is worth reading the book by itself. the author gives good insight into the characters of our 2 heroes and adds a few thoughts on the character of lex. it is a beautifully written book and definilty worth the money for smallville fans.
