I bought a Buffy book.

Now that for the first time in my life I have a steady job (therefore: $ but no time), I'm beginning to master the art of the Impulse Buy.

I bought a BtVS pro novel! Spike & Dru: Pretty Maids All In A Row, by Christopher Golden. Look, it was on the discount rack, and the cover's all pretty and blood-soaked red with a yummy picture of Spike and Drusilla. I'm curious to see how it measures up to fanfic. Plus, hey, Spike & Dru, 1940 - not actually a period I've seen ficked much.

None of the books I've read measure up to good fanfic, of which there's a lot. Also, the story gets a bit repetitive, and the minor characters don't get much of a look in.
I wouldn't bother buying any more if I were you, though parts of "The Lost Slayer" quartet aren't bad.
Most of them are pretty pedestrian, and keep telling you stuff you know already, as if that proves that the authors have watched the show.
