"Door to Alternity" continues the "Unseen" triligy with the connection between missing children in L.A. and monsters appearing in droves in Sunnydale becoming clearer. Team Angel and The Scobbie Gang are working harder than ever as they try to solve the mysteries and keep the monsters under control. Also the reason for all these strange occurences becomes clear; it dates back to a Cold War science experiment by the KGB to alter reality, all for the glory of the State. Now it is being used to try to blackmail prominant U.S. citizens to bring back the glory days. Also a gang war brakes out between the Mexican Mob and the Russians. All of this makes for a very complicated story, there is a lot going on. Sometimes it gets a little confusing, but never so bad you can't follow the story. It was ok, but certainly suffering from being the bridge book. You have a lot of information and set up for the last book.

I can't figure out what Salma is runnign from even tough i read books 2 and 3 of the crossover!!!

The only reason im giving this book 2 stars is because of buffy good looks and willow"s magic powers but apart from that this story is bull theres too much talking and stuff going on and theres practicaly no action i thought buffy slayed demons but this is in about 5 places at once and its really confusing safe your money and get the best buffy book Tales Of The Slayer

Mainly seems to be setting things up for the finale. Had some moments I found intriguing, and some interesting perspective on Buffy/Angel during the time of Buffy/Riley, but its nowhere near up to the level of the Christopher Golden/Nancy Holder collaborations.

the next book, the Long Way Home was better. I didn't buy The Burning, but I don't think I missed much. This book just wasn't very interesting to me. The Long Way Home wasn't even that great, but it was better than this book. It's missing something that I can't quite put my finger on.

I enjoyed this alot, it was awsome!!I was not dissapointed by it. This book doesn't take long at all to pick up and there is plenty of action. When I finished reading and got to the end, my mouth hit the floor. The ending really leaves you wanting more. I can't wait for the last installment of this series!! It's going to be great!!

this is a very good book,better that the burning and how i survived my summer vacation.I cant wait till long way home.As a a massive fan of buffy i have very book and by far this is the best i would reccomend this book the only wierd thing is the pairing of willow and riley,but all in all a very good book I GIVE THIS 5 STARS.

UNseen the Trilogy is awesome. Two(soon to be three) of the best Angel/Buffy novels I have ever read.

this one is kind of disappointing if you are thining (oh about time an angel buffy crossover). the 2 are in the book but they spend too much time in seperate places for me. this book however does have an up to date account of the 2 series up and until last season which is a refreshing change. the story continues with teenagers disappearing in la right in front of their friends. meanwhile in sunnydale, monsters of all types and sizes keep coming through a portal and keeping the scooby gang occupied. to make matters worse the gang warfare between the mexicans and the russinas escalate out of control. between bad cops on the take, gang warfare, missing teens and' monsters this book was quite intertaining. it gives all of our favorite characters from both shows a part to play and they come through brilliantly. hopefully in season three our vampire slayer and her vampire will work together more. these always made some of the best books. if you doh't beleive me read "child

of the hunt". arguably one of the best buffy books written.

The second in the cross over series, The Unseen, The Door to Alternity leaves the reader wanting more. Picking up the story of gang war fare, corrupt cops, new monsters and disappearing teens; this book enlarges on each plot line. As Buffy and Angel learn the source of each problem they are drawn deeper into danger and closer together. Angel admits to himself that he and Buffy share the same soul, the same heart. Buffy struggles with her relationship to Riley now that Angel is back in her life. The Sunnydale gang finds it difficult to accept a new and improved Cordelia.

The pages crackle with action, gang fights and monster attacks. Everyone gets a chance to jump into the fray.

Tara's concern for Willow adds a nice layer of romance. The authors use Anya to provide the comic relief.

I recommend this book to all Buffy and Angel fans. I can't wait for number three.
