Minion and The Awakening by L.A. Banks

[samvara]

What if Buffy had been black?

What if she had grown up on the streets, been adopted by a team of spiritually awakened Guardians³ representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel, trained to battle evil with a big sword¹ and was a famous spoken-word artist in her spare time. What if she lived in a compound with Holy Water sprinklers, drove a humvee and was in lust with a drug baron ex-Guardian Master Vampire². What if there were secret high speed demonic subways from LA to New Orleans?

Absolutely terrible, terrible I tell you. While I respect anyone trying to write in dialect that doesn't excuse appalling grammar. Where was the editor?

I have to go lie down and laugh some more now.

¹Called Isis. What? You don't name your toys?
²Where are the vampire Pomeranians?
³Who aren't allowed to swear.

The editor was down the pub getting very very drunk by the sounds of it.

Nuke the place from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.

The Noodle would like to read The Awakening.

Noodle has read Minion and admits it was atrocious, but like all avid readers, she must know what happens next. Clearly, she hasn't read Joyce. Will loan her book of evil and it will curb this horrible insanity. Until then, can she please borrow Book 2?
