Product Description

Of course, Sunnydale being Hellmouth Central, Willow soon discovers a link between drama and magick; in fact, many ancient Greek performances were actually invocations to the Gods.

Well, this book mostly focuses on Willow(in odd chapters, and about halfway joined with Spike) and Spike(in even chapters, in his human days, then getting sired by Drusila in Chapter 6). Plus, the evil Professor Addams. What I like about this book is it connects very well with Addams in the future, and in the past. Also, with the new Spike, and the deadly one in the past. Spike still has all those sayings he has in Buffy, and Willow is very much alike. This is not Season 5 Buffy, I don’t know who brought that up. Dawn isn’t mentioned once in the book, so it can’t be season 5. But again, there’s no Riley, but a chip in Spike’s head. So, I’m guessing they just left Riley out of the picture, so it’s late season 4. Plus, hint, give away, Tara, no Oz. Back to the plot, Willow wants to do a project for extra credit. So, Professor Addams gets Willow to get some books. Just getting worse. Plus, haunting ghosts in the theatre and phantoms, this is a great Buffy novel!!
Rating: 4 / 5
The title of this Buffy novel might be a giveaway that it has been written by a theatre nerd, and a student theatre nerd, at that. Or at least co-written, anyway, if you look at what it says about the writers in the back.
Willow is studying drama, and something odd is going on at the theatre. It is even more odd when she discovers Spike knew her drama lecturer, Addams, back when he was still breathing involuntarily.

this book goes back and forth from present Sunnydale to England 1880 where William changes his name to Spike. it also tells us about what happened after he left his grave and how (in grapic detail) he finished off his victims.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book was awesome mainly because of the story being about Willow and Spike. These Our Actors was a great book, but it was awesome because these two were the ones it focused on. The story line is great. I love the way it tells Spike’s story from the past. It filled in a lot of blanks and questions I’ve had about the show. And I love how Willow is the one that solves it all w/ the help of Spike.

Told from two different characters, Willow(witch) and Spike(vampire, this book was definately well worth the money and time spent. A very detailed look into Spike’s past, which we get a small glimpse of in the 5th Season during episode titled, ‘Fool For Love’, the book, this book in fact goes deeper into that episode’s facts and gives a long look at before his vamp days and right after.
So enthralled in the chapters with his story, I almost forgot Willow’s tale was intertwined with his. Each chapter is told from 1880 London with Spike and then back to 2000 Sunnydale with Willow. Alternating back and forth. Just when you think neither story has to do with the other, they are meshed and then both become even more intriguing, which I didn’t think was possible.
Willow brings us to her drama class during the 2000 fall semester in college and shows us a weird side to acting. Feeling like she’d been bitten by the acting bug, she gets very involved in the production of the plays and finds more than she bargained for. Drama has a link to magick and its not very pretty. In fact, she finds that the ancient Greeks were actually invocations to the Gods.
The appearance of a ghost or two doesn’t spook the witch, but something else does…Spike’s interest in the arts.
Spike takes us on a ride through 1880 London while he was still human and when he was fascinated with the arts and the stage. We get an in depth look at his life before and after he was a notorious vampire known as William the Bloody. When he sees Willow’s interest at her college drama class present time, Spike is shocked to see a link to his and is determined to set ghosts to rest…
Willow and Spike must figure out the puzzle before its too late…before they both have to exit stage left….
