This story takes place in the world of Buffy the Vampire slayer and I really enjoyed it.  I know there have been people that were disappointed and didn't feel it was what they thought it would be, but I think it portrayed a world after Buffy and the Kiersten White did a great job of making it connect with that world.  Nina and Artemis twins that were always looking out for each other and willing to sacrifice everything for each other, even if at times they weren't sure they should.  And then there was Leo the boy who captured Nina's heart at the age of 12 and still had it at 16.  I think if you watched Buffy that you would enjoy as long as you aren't looking to see Buffy and her gang in this book. Read with an open mind and enjoy.
