This is an extremely lovely story. I love the way you craft the intricat plot, and grab the reader from the beginning and keep us sucked in. Characterizations are so spot on, especially Spike. Zack and Rosie are superb original characters, kudos.

My only big criticism is there are some words spelled very wrong, some really strange turns of phrase and some 50cent words that are (or sometimes maybe just seem to be) used wildly incorrectly. Also, there are many passages with a strange set of descriptive phrases that don't seem to make any sense at all. I am pretty well-read, and I honestly couldn't make heads or tails out of some passages. Made it extremely difficult some parts of the tail, but I ended up skimming theses parts, and I hope I correctly guessed the gist of them. On the flip side, there were quite a lot of words that MANY authors use wrongly that you got right, so that's a plus.

Overall, I enjoyed it, even if I didn't always love all the turns (like what happened to Buffy, ultimately). You have a real gift for plot, characters & dialogue -- I hope you are still writing!

ow its over, I loved it and wonder if she will ever meet back up with her family by would love to see more of the LA and Spike Buffy, with or without Angel,

Fantastic story. Long! On one hand I'm glad there was no buffy/Angel confrontation, one the other hand, missing the angst. Well done. I really liked Rosie and Nikki.
