Massive nods to Buffy, like MASSIVE, almost gratuitously so. Lucky for me, I'm a gratuitous Buffy fan. Plots turns a little on the predictable side for the savvy reader. That being said I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the writer got me on side with all the core characters so I was heavily invested within the first 100 pages. Would happily place this as a comfort read as it stands alone well!
