BOOK DESCRIPTION


Even though Buffy decided to drop drama class to concentrate on her slaying and taking care of Dawn, Willow still decided keep the class on her course list. She becomes engrossed in it, especially when the teacher, Professor Addams, begins discussing about rituals and chants involved in old dramatic works. Unfortunately, the professor, realizing that Willow has some power of her own, decides to use her for his own ways. He needs to locate a particularly powerful book used to summon the Fates, which he believes is located somewhere in Sunnydale. Meanwhile, this novel also takes us back to the time where Spike was shunned by Cecily Addams and turned into a vampire by Drusilla. Spike, as a vampire, decides to take his revenge on the weak Cecily...


TRIVIA


  • Tagline: 'Evil is set for an encore'.

  • Characters include: Buffy, Joyce, Giles, Xander, Anya, Dawn, Spike, Willow, and Tara

  • The book has a strong focus on Willow and Spike.

  • In Lies My Parents Told Me William's mother asks him if his love interest is "the Underwood girl?", he denies this and states that "he wouldn't presume." Assuming Spike's mother is talking about Cecily, some fans believe "Underwood" is the surname of Cecily. Whilst others, especially prior to this episode use "Addams", the surname given in this book. Possible fan explanation: She used both names as aliases.



CONTINUITY


  • Set in Buffy Season 4 or 5.

  • The book assumes that Cecily and Halfrek are not one and the same.

  • Cecily is named in the book as 'Cecily Addams', (see Trivia for more details)



Canonical issues

See Also: Buffyverse canon



: ''Buffy'' / ''Angel'' books such as this one are not usually considered by fans as Canonical . Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike Fan Fiction , overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially ''Buffy''/''Angel'' merchandise.
