Tony Hillerman lite
I savored this book a little longer than the previous 2. I loved the scene where Willow was playing poker. This book is Tony Hillerman lite. If you've read any of his mysteries, you'll know what I mean.

The Skinwalkers Come to Sunnydale, Jui 28 2004
COYOTE MOON by John Vornholt is the third Buffy The Vampire Slayer book and the second all-new adventure. Like the previous volumes this was a very well-done book. I don't know if the series has a better bible than others but so far all of the characters act just as they would be expected to on the show.At the end of Summer a carnival comes to Sunnydale. Shortly after that, coyotes are seen closer to town than usual. Buffy starts to get the wiggins about the carnival and finds some minor evidence that they are involved in something not normal. Eventually a plot involving werecoyotes and skinwalkers is revealed. Unfortunately for the townsfolk the plot involves the carnies seducing and slaughtering a number of Sunnydale's young folk. In the end Buffy triumphs and curses are lifted. While this volume is quite good it is not canonical. The events take place at a time that we now know Buffy was not in Sunnydale. This puts it in a class with many of the Star Trek books. So if you consider this an old episode you missed then it works out quite well. Unfortunately these books are a little hard to find because they are being marketed towards young adults (hah, my 78 year-old father is one of the show's biggest fans).

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.

An OK read, but lacking a little, Janv. 16 2002
"Coyote Moon" is the first Buffy, the Vampire Slayer book I have read. I have been following the series since it started. "Coyote Moon" seems boring, if not corny, at first. But the book gets better by chapter 3, when Buffy notices that the carnys at the carnival are very strange. From then on, the book becomes a good read, save for the fact that the characters are lacking. Buffy, Willow, and Xander are off a little, saying and doing things that they would probably not say or do in the series. The book has a good plot, I would recommend reading it, but don't read it if you are expecting it to be the same as the TV series. The plot is very good...the characters are lacking, and have no real depth.

a very good buffy book, Sep 20 2001
This was the best.It starts with Buffy,Willow and Xander going to a carnival it sounds really bad but just the sort of thing for the slayer to froget everything.It seems cool but then coyotes turn up in Sunnydale.Buffy recognises a worker from the carnival as one of the coyotes!Help would be ideal but Willow and Xander are in friendship with workers from the carnival so Buffy turns to Giles and together they help every1 including Willow and Xander.

Coyote Moon, a five ticket ride, Oct. 1 2000
John Vornholt creates a haunted setting for this spooky story. A traveling carnival looks fun. But when the lights are turned off and the people have all gone home, it becomes a dangerous place for the slayer and her friends. When Buffy, Willow and Xander look for some harmless non-slaying fun they find more than they bargin for at the carnival. Also a pack of coyotes is terrorizing Sunnydale. Buffy must hunt them down before she becomes kibble and bits. A fun fast read, I recommend it to all Buffy fans.

Coyote Moon, Juil 25 2000
This book is probably one of the best book I've read of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Series. It's filled with suspense and keeps you reading til the end. It is a very good book for Buffy fans. So read it!

Coyote Moon, Fév 24 2000
Par Un client
This book was so cool,I looked for it every time I went to the library,and it was all ways out,so I reserved it and I'm glad I did!John Vernholt is an exellent author and I could not put this book down,it is so exiting,just like the show!It is about SkinCrawlers(or something along those lines),people who can change into coyotes,and Buffy must stop them,this is my favourite book.I highly recomend it.
