Summary
From the distributor, Agent With Style: "Ex-demon Anya regains her powers and is set on revenge. On Xander. She creates utter havoc in Sunnydale and L.A., leaving Xander to fight on his own. But she has underestimated his friends, one in particular. Meanwhile, Xander discovers that Spike has fallen for him, but he isn't sure what to do about it. Should he tell someone? Stake Spike and not have to deal with it? Allow himself to actually respond to Spike's advances and see what happens? Could the vampire just be playing him for a fool, or could he really have fallen for geeky Xander Harris? What could Spike possibly see in him? Xander wants to find out so bad, it hurts, but does he dare?"
Series
It is part one of the "The Vengeance Trilogy".
Reactions and Reviews
The Vengeance Trilogy (Stained Glass, Smoke and Mirrors, Sanity) by Lisa Martin. From the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom, featuring Spike/Xander. Pretty covers, decent layout and formats, intriguing if at times very confusing story line, but dear gods, the grammar! Most people give non-native English speaking authors a break when it comes to critique. I don't. In the online and publishing world today there is absolutely no excuse for not finding a native English speaker to help you out. That's why this trilogy gets a very mediocre review. It's painfully obvious that neither the author nor her editor are native English speakers. There are constant grammar errors in each zine and with examples such as the Elusive Lover zines written so perfectly by non-native speakers, there just aren't any excuses for the poor quality of this trilogy. I wouldn't recommend getting these zines; wait for them online. [1]
