Why This Must Be Read: This is a brilliant story period.

It is a three part series which unfortunately still a WIP. But that shouldn't distract you from the brilliance and originality of this tale.

It is very dark, angsty and full of grim hopeless determination. A chilling tale. A horror story of the finest tradition. I enjoyed it very much, even as I shuddered and cringed. But yet the way Xander's character has grown and still managed to maintain his humanity and like-ability helps keep the angst at bay.

Let's not forget the interaction between Xander and Rodney. Just about perfect; by turns touching, hilarious, cute and serious.
