Description
Sunnydale is being besieged by dark forces. But even with Buffy providing her unique style of damage control, it's more than one Slayer can handle - especially since the abominations are coming from a centuries-old portal through time and space.Tags

Believe I read the whole Gatekeeper trilogy during the latter part of 2002, as it was then that I bought them as a boxed set. Although I remember little about the storyline 13 years on, I do recall that the author did a good job in bringing the TV characters to life on page. I admired his original plot ideas, yet I was engaged by the story, rather than enthralled.
Just meh...I love the show. But the characters didn't feel real to me in this novel.
I read this book and the two others in the trilogy when I was watching Buffy for the first time in middle school. Truthfully, I don't remember a whole lot about the plot or writing, but I do know they kept me engaged enough to read the other two books.
Since I remember enjoying them as a kid, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and a 3/5.

It was okay. Not great.
