Ethan Rayne returns to Sunnydale and unleashes a long-trapped
evil sorcerer from Middle Ages Bavaria. As if that and Ethan's
true motivation weren't enough to keep Buffy from her chemistry
homework, she soon finds herself encountering a seemingly
random parade of old adversaries out to settle the score...
Keep
Me in Mind is a bit odd and a slightly disappointing read.
Another in the Stake your Destiny range of books where
you make the decisions which allows the story to unfold. This
one seems bitty, unclear and... well, just not that gripping.
The
disappointment is added to by the fact that it is penned by
the wonderful Nancy Holder, who's amazing ability to add those
little nuances that fans love hasn't faded - they're still
great, its just that the story is lacking.
Basically
you start off feeling a bit ill and down, and then odd things
start happening in Sunnydale (no surprise there). All of your
old adversaries start appearing; Spike, Dru, The Master, Luke...
but it doesn't end there. As you take on the role of Buffy
you get to kill them again, then again and again. It's like
evil doubles are overtaking the town and you and the Scoobies
need to work out who is behind this and why.
Things
get even wiggier when doubles of your friends and loved ones
appear. From there the story gets just a little too strange,
and is unfortunately not gripping. Suddenly the finale is
on top of you, and then... that's it.
Stake
your Destiny is a great concept, and getting Nancy Holder
on board is also great as she is a brilliant Buffy-verse
writer; second only to Christopher Golden. However, I have
to say don't waste your money on Keep me in Mind. Instead
check out some of the other books in either this series, or
by this writer.
