Customer Reviews

a very good buffy book

This was the best.It starts with Buffy,Willow and Xander going to a carnival it sounds really bad but just the sort of thing for the slayer to froget everything.It seems cool but then coyotes turn up in Sunnydale.Buffy recognises a worker from the carnival as one of the coyotes!Help would be ideal but Willow and Xander are in friendship with workers from the carnival so Buffy turns to Giles and together they help every1 including Willow and Xander.

Excellent suspense through the whole book.

John Vornholt really impressed me with this first rate teen thriller based on the tv show. This book didn't take me that long to read - thats only because I couldn't put it down. I strongly reccommend this to teens and Buffy fans. It is about Buffy, Willow and Xander eager to take a break from slaying vampires and what-not so they take a trip to the carnival that's come to Sunnydale, only to find out the two sexiest carnies are actually werecoyotes!Awesome book - don't let this fly by!

Excellent reading for the fans of Buffy

This was one of the more spooky Buffy books that I have had the chance to read as it brings you into the world of the carnival people and tells about how they become a pack of coyotes when the moon is full.. Most of us have been to a carnival at least once in our lives and have imagined what it is really like once all the people are gone and the lights go out. This book tells us the behind the scenes scoop of this particular carnival and the sudden appearance of a pack of coyotes that end up terrorizing Sunnydale. As always in all the Buffy books, Buffy and her friends come out on top but not before tangling one on one with a new breed of monster. Even though I am older than the expected audience for this book, I am a fan of the show and really enjoyed the book.

Once in a Coyote Moon...

Coyote Moon author John Vornholt does a good job of translating our favorite Sunnydale regulars from the little screen to the written form. The Pre-Oz Willow crush on Xander is explored as is the reocurring theme in the tv show of Buffy feeling alienated from the rest of teendom by her enormous responsibilities. In this highly entertaining novel, Buffy and the gang are on summer break from school. Our slayer is bored with a noticeable lack of action since there are few vampires to slay and school is out. A seedy carnival rolls into town promising the perfect culmination to the summer vacation. The gang gets more than they bargain for when a quest for greasy food, and a few cheap carnival thrills give way to a summer romance for both Xander and Willow (though not with each other to the latter's chagrin). When coyotes start acting in a bizarre way throughout Sunnydale, Buffy becomes suspicious and she is convinced that there is something evil behind this carnival. Yet, Buffy is alone in her quest to find the truth behind the coyotes because her friends are mesmorized by a pair of young carnival workers. The elements of Joss Whedon's creation are firmly in place here: Giles does research, Xander reacts as any teenage boy would when wooed by a mysterious member of the opposite sex, and the Slayer is as perky and as tough as portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar. This is a must read for any true fan of the Slayer.

THIS WAS SOOO COOL! THIS ROCKS!

Coyotes and shapeshifters...whoa! I loved this book it was really good! I read it in one day! It made me feel I wanted to read on! The new characters were cool like Rose and it went into detail about the corpse which I love! The main characters like Buffy, Willow and Xander were so cool in this one and funny at the same time! I recomend this book to all Buffy fans! Shame I can't vote more than five! If you don't like this you suck! This book is the best! I loved the coyotes when they dug the graves up and how Buffy said to the carnie worker she wanted to hurl when she was snooping! The part when they said coyote moon was back as well was the best. So get out your house and buy this now! PS get child of the hunt as well!
