Bloody Fool for Love plays out like an episode of Buffy with an “Angelic” twist. The writing is episodic, but Spike’s devilish charm is toned down.
My favorite character in the Buffyverse is Spike. He’s a bloody evil vampire. I love him, I hate him, or I love to hate him. Spike doesn’t provoke warm and fuzzy feelings that would make him a loveable character. He’s sarcastic and full of one-liners. Most characters around him want him to take a short walk off a long pier and land on a stake.
Ritter stays true to the characters and really honors them. When I visualize the scenes and everything that occurs, I envision James Marsters reprising his renowned role of Spike.
I recommend this book for fans of the Buffyverse.
