Summary
Here's Buffy's life in a nutshell: dead mom, dead-beat dad, dead end job, dependent sister. She's pulling double shifts at the Double Meat Palace to make ends meet.
And yet, she's actually pretty happy! She's got supportive friends and a sexy English boyfriend. Her life is full of love, and frankly after that accident last year and the coma, she's grateful just to be alive.
But then one of her friends goes missing, and Buffy's peaceful life in Sunnydale begins to unravel in frightening and truly unexpected ways. Soon she will have to question everything she thinks she knows about her friends, her lover, her world ... and herself.

Spike and Buffy are:
“The sweetest couple you’ll ever meet,” said Annie, 32, yoga instructor.
“Shady people,” a concerned neighbor told us. “You just know they’re hiding something.”
“Freaks,” said someone who wished to remain anonymous.
“Disgustingly cute,” revealed a friend of the couple.
“Not that big of a deal,” said an enemy we reached out to.
“The deadliest fighters around,” said Clare, 15, Slayer-in-training. “You wouldn’t want to be their enemy.”
“The two most annoying people alive,” a family member told us.
“I thought they were a myth,” a Grappler demon confided.Bookmarked by MaeLearnsToWrite
