Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Co. Books

Buffy the Vampire Slayer started off as a movie in 1992 that latter became a popular TV show running from 1997-2003. The series follows Buffy who starts the series as a teenager in high school who discovers that she is a vampire slayer, endowed with enhanced strength and reflexes she patrols the night hunting and slaying evil vampires, demons, and other supernatural baddies. Buffy goes through her adventures with her watcher the librarian Giles and her friends Willow and Xander. Buffy's romantic interests in the show are Angel a 200 year old vampire with a soul as well as a solider named Riley, and another vampire Spike. Buffy the Vampire Slayers success eventually led to spin-off show for Angel. While both Buffy and Angel shows have ended, their adventures continue in a popular series of books. It is this series of books that have attracted a number of readers and the new books continue to come out today.

Well that took a while.

There's the novelizations of the episodes that I've got. There's more that I
know of like "The Harvest" for one. (I've not been able to find that one.)

There's novelizations for AtS too. At least "City of" has a novelization.

The YA novels that are original for Buffy are:

Halloween Rain
Coyote Moon

little books, but I don't know the names of them individually.) Monster Island (Crossover with Angel) Seven Crows (Crossover with Angel---this one features Riley of all people.
