There are a few toxic troupes involving relationships and jealous, but it still an entertaining read with a better love story than “Twilight.”

Not sure when I bought this book, probably 2009 at a sci-fi writing convention. I don't recall if I ever read it. Not sure what I would've rated it back then during my urban fantasy heyday.

Obviously based on Buffy and Spike. Sex was just ok. Story was predictable. Some of the banter was entertaining.

Did not finish during Shiftathon. I keep picking books for readathons that I'm not very excited to read.
