Ellie also seems to experience a ridiculous amount of trouble in her battles before winning no matter the difficulty of the enemy being fought (which always seemed to be the case on Buffy too).

Without any other really important character, the book feels like what Buffy would be with just Buffy, Angel and the 'I love you, but we can't be together' thing. On the other hand, Ellie, like Buffy, dates the 'good' version of the creatures she kills. And her friends do not help her in her battle or know anything about it. Also, her guardian is young-looking and hot. The main difference between the two stories is that Ellie reincarnates, rather than the powers being reborn in different girls. There is no way this book would exist without Buffy even I (who does not gamble ever) would pretty much be willing to lay down money that Moulton was a fan of the show. So to read or not to read, that is the real question. I like Ellie and Will and I find her best friend a really good character. But expect it to play out kind of like Shattered Souls. Personally, I enjoyed this book even though its similarities to Shattered Souls and I do recommend this book. So this is what I'm saying: If you haven't read Shattered Souls, read Angelfire because it is a good and interesting read, but if you have read Shattered Souls, it is your choice to read this book or not. If it had been not so close to something I've already read, I think I would have enjoyed more and been more interested because this is an interesting book and I'm not saying its not, but this is something I feel like I've already read. It was an interesting book although I thought it mirrored the book Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey but in that book, the main character is helping ghosts not fighting demons. So I liked this book although the idea of the soul being reincarnated, I've read before.
