I received this book for free from Reviewer Purchase in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

For generations, the Slayer was supposed to be the chosen, the one girl in all the world with the power to stand against the vampires, demons, and forces of darkness. When Willow used the scythe to call up all the potential slayers at once, it changed everything. For years, the slayers have been working and fighting together as a team.

Then the Darkness came, killing many slayers and trapping the rest in an alternate dimension. And Frankie Rosenberg, the world’s first Slayer-Witch, found herself fighting evil alone. Sort of.

After their latest confrontation with the Darkness, the Scooby gang is more fragmented than ever. Jake is having a werewolf identity crisis, and the return of his troublemaker brother Jordy is only making things worse. Hailey is off pretending to be one of the rogue slayers. Sigmund is burying his broken heart in books. And Frankie's mom, Willow, and Watcher, Spike, only seem to care about bringing Buffy back.

Now, Frankie must forge her own path, save the slayers, reunite her friends, and lead the charge to defeat the Darkness once and for all.

Short and Sweet Review

This is the last book in the In Every Generation trilogy and it’s time for Frankie and her friends to face the darkness. All of the training has led up to this moment, but even though the scoobies feel prepared they start to see the fractures within their own group which may do more damage than the darkness can.

If you don’t remember what happened in the previous book, it’s okay because Blake does a great job of doing a quick recap. We have Hailey gone and hanging out with Aspen trying to get more information about what she’s planning. Frankie is training and just trying to focus her mind on other things. Frankie was a character we got to see evolve over three books. She starts off as the first slayer witch who needed all the help she could get and now she’s able to stand on her own two feet. Everyone else in this book has something going on and we can see how much the tension builds up and everyone is at each other’s throats. We also have the problem of the slayers being trapped in another dimension and Willow is trying to bring them back, we see a glimpse of dark Willow during this time which was cool and terrifying at the same time. There was a bit of romance as the group of teens all had significant others and although that played a part there really wasn’t time to see all of these romances take off. This book focused a lot on wrapping things up and setting up the big finale. I will say the dialogue is still cheesy but I think it’s to be expected at this point.

Overall, I liked how everything was wrapped up. It makes me want to go back and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel. If you loved the tv show, this trilogy will bring back all of the feelings of watching the show but with a new generation of slayers, witches, and werewolves.
