Review
Spike and Drusilla are regular villains on the hit TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and now the un-dead couple feature in their first novel. Author Christopher Golden has taken advantage of their eternal vampiric youth to write an historical novel set in Europe in 1940, where the war of the Allies against Nazi Germany is set side by side with the war of the Watchers' Council against vampires. As the current Slayer, Sophie Carstensen, cuts down not only vampires but Nazi soldiers who have invaded her Danish homeland, we may well ask which war is the more brutal.
Spike has promised Dru a magickal artifact, Freyja's Strand, which will enable her to shapeshift and, more importantly, to see her own reflection. Its current owner, the Ice Demon Skrymir, demands that in payment the vampires kill all the Slayers-in-Waiting. And so Spike and Dru go on a joyful killing spree across Europe and North America, finding ever more gruesome and imaginative ways of murdering teenage girls. The reversal of traditional roles, making Spike the central protagonist and turning the Slayer and the Watcher's Council into obstacles to be overcome, will be disturbing to some, and this is not a book for the squeamish. Charismatic they may be, but Spike and Dru have no consciences, no empathy and no remorse. The combination of sadism, death and sexuality makes this one definitely adults only. --Elizabeth Sourbut
