This book was AWESOME!!! I absolutely was on the edge of my seat through the hole duration of the novel. The whole idea of a gatehouse was very creative and was very well presented in the book. The book is very fast-paced, having action in the prologue when Buffster and the gang meet up with Springheel Jack, taking the reader on a relentless, wild ride that continues on up until the end of the novel. I loved the way the...

Being a huge BTVS fan, I read all the Buffy stories I can get my hands on (whether they happen to be books or online fanfic), and by far the Gatekeeper Trilogy is the best of the lot.

Who knows,...

I have all the Buffy books except the movie tie-in and The Harvest. But I have everything else; the Angel Chronicles, Vol.1 & 2, the young adult books, Blooded, Child of the Hunt and Return to Chaos. I must say this is the most extensive and magickal book of them all. Buffy and her friends must go up against the evil Il Maestro to stop the Gatehouse from crumbling and the Otherworld leaking all the demons and monsters...
