    About this ebook

    Angelus
    BORN: Ireland DIED: Ireland
    CURRENT RESIDENCE: Sunnydale, CA
    AGE: 242 years and counting
    "Things used to be pretty simple. Hundred years, just hanging out, feeling guilty. Really honed my brooding skills. Then she comes along."
    After a century of killing without a care, the vampire Angelus was cursed with a conscience and eventually fled to Sunnydale, where he restricted his feeding to blood banks.
    Until 16-year-old Buffy Summers, the Vampire Slayer, arrived in town to battle vampires, demons and the Forces of Darkness. First, he has to convince her not to kill him. Then, he has to convince himself not to fall in love with her.
    Now, collected for the first time, are three stories from the cult-hit TV series chronicling the beginning of this star crossed love story.
    Can Buffy and Angel survive life, death...and beyond?

      The Angel Chronicles is a (brief) novelization of three early Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes that at least, in part, focus on the relationship between Buffy and Angel -- "Angel", "Reptile Boy", and "Lie To Me". Each story is novelized pretty well, but with the exception of the first episode in the book, the choice of episodes chosen for this volume of the Angel Chronicles seems a bit random. Though I enjoyed "Lie To Me" the most out of the three, it had nearly nothing to do directly with Angel -- aside from his role in figuring out Ford's plot. The overall message of the episode (how complicated it is to figure out who to trust, etc.) does have a lot of bearing on the relationship between Buffy and Angel, and Buffy does learn a little more about Angel's past, but the episode is primarily one of growth of Buffy and another situation in which Angel acts as a bystander during a time when his support would have helped strengthen the relationship. That was always something that frustrated me about the pair early in the series, and perhaps that is something to consider about them and possibly a point of "Lie To Me"'s inclusion in this collection, but it still felt out of place.Overall it's a good collection and great if you want to briefly relive some classic early episodes of Buffy, despite some awkward writing and a not entirely clear focus.
