Jhaeman's Review, Déc 27 2003
COYOTE MOON
BY JOHN VORNHOLT (1998)RATING: 3/5 Stakes SETTING: First Season (summer) CAST APPEARANCES: Buffy, Xander, Willow, Giles, Cordelia ORIGINAL CHARACTERS: Rose, Lonnie, Hopscotch (werecoyotes); Dr. Henshaw (friendly doctor); Spurs Hardaway (villian) BACK-OF-THE-BOOK SUMMARY
"The seedy carnival looks like just the thing to give Buffy and her best buds, Xander and Willow, a break from staking bloodsuckers. Some greasy food, a few cheap thrills--what more could a Slayer ask for? But then Buffy senses something evil behind this carnival. Xander and Willow aren't so sure. They don't buy Buffy's notion that the carneys are somehow connected to the corposes turning up around Sunnydale. It doesn't help that her two best friends are each interested in someone at the carnival. Which puts the burden of proof on Buffy. Can she find out what's going on in time to save her friends? Or has the Slayer become the prey?" REVIEW Coyote Moon, the second original Buffy novel, is a solid if unspectacular story about the arrival of werecoyotes in Sunnydale (disguised as a carnival) and their attempt to resurrect their long-dead leader. Buffy spends most of the novel attempting to gain proof of the carneys' true nature (with Giles' help), while Xander and Willow are seduced by two of the carneys. Xander's terribly luck with the ladies holds out, as his new girlfriend Rose simply wants him and Willow to be the human sacrifices necessary to resurrect Spurs Hardaway, a Buffalo Bill Cody type of Western performer who died exactly a century ago and discovered the secrets of "skinwalking" from an unnamed plains Indian tribe, which allowed him and the other performers to become an animal by donning its skin. After being captured by the werecoyotes, Buffy manages to escape with the aid of Hopscotch, a renegade werecoyote who wants her to stop the resurrection because he was the one who secretly killed Spurs Hardaway to begin with. In her own inimitable style, Buffy manages to arrive at the resurrection just in time to drive a silver knife through Spur Hardaway's werebear form and save the day.
The novel has some strong elements. Xander's teen lust for Rose is depicted well, as are the feelings of love and hurt that Willow feels everytime Xander fails to notice how much she loves him. Also well played is a scene where Buffy interrupts a Xander-and-Rose makeup session, prompting Xander to tell Buffy off. Other highpoints include Xander trying to grow a goatee (failing miserably) and some interesting use of Native skinwalker stories.
Overall, Coyote Moon is a competent addition to the Buffy line and has the feel of a first season episode. It's by no means a page turner, but it also doesn't prompt groans of dismay like some other books in the series.

Coyote Moon Lacks...., Mars 7 2002
Although I enjoyed the book, the end was just to simple. It took them no time to research the shape shifters and the bad guy was easily defeated. They killed the bad guy in about a paragraph. I enjoyed the story and the characters. There are some things that this book lacks. I would recommend this book for a fast read. Otherwise I really wouldn't waste your time.

Could have been better., Fév 21 2000
Pathetic, is all I can say. The author got all the characters totally wrong, they don't sound like anything Buffy, Willow or Xander would say. It lacks of the Buffy's witty lines we all love. And Xander's jokes are even lamer than they usually are. But what disappoints me the most is Willow, she is NOT the Willow we know at all. The Scooby Gang will never leave Buffy out and go make out with some carneys, in Xander case, I can understand but Willow? She'll never do that. If you're a fan of big fan of Buffy and own all other Buffy books, then this one will just complete your list, if you aren't, avoid this book.

Explores new possibilities, but not too interesting., Déc 23 1998
Par Un client
Poor, poor, pathetic Willow. The girl is so consumed with thinking she's not worthy of a guy's attention, that she is so easy to fall into the attention of a guy she meets. After all the demons they have seen and slayed, has she learned nothing?? See"The Harvest" when a still in-the-dark-about-Buffy's-secret Willow is seen led off by a vampire. Is she that hard to teach?

This story is great, Aoû 19 1998
Par Un client
This story sended tremors and fears about going to the carnival. I suggest reading it, but I also state that children wouldn't want to read it because of the sexual material occurs. I rated this 3 stars because Coyote Moon could of been better to be sold. The descriptive words are dim, Even I can create a better book.

Not too bad, but could be better, Avril 15 1998
Par Un client
This is the first of the Buffy books I read, and I was dissapointed. In my opinion, the series is awesome, but this book was no better than an R.L. Stine novel or another "teen" horror. The plot was predictable and the climax was anticlimactic. I feel that anyone could have written this book- it had no surprises or interesting plots, just cliches. But I don't want to be too hard on it, it was Buffy, so it's hard to hate it. If you're a devout Buffy fan, or looking for a no-brainer plot to read in your spare time, this could be the book for you.
