Nina continues to learn how to use her slayer powers against enemies old and new in this second novel in the New York Times bestselling series from Kiersten White, set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Now that Nina has turned the Watcher’s Castle into a utopia for hurt and lonely demons, she’s still waiting for the utopia part to kick in. With her sister Artemis gone and only a few people remaining at the castle—including her still-distant mother—Nina has her hands full. Plus, though she gained back her Slayer powers from Leo, they’re not feeling quite right after being held by the seriously evil succubus Eve, a.k.a. fake Watcher’s Council member and Leo’s mom.

And while Nina is dealing with the darkness inside, there’s also a new threat on the outside, portended by an odd triangle symbol that seems to be popping up everywhere, in connection with Sean’s demon drug ring as well as someone a bit closer to home. Because one near-apocalypse just isn’t enough, right?

The darkness always finds you. And once again, it’s coming for the Slayer. 

Thoughts

I am absolute trash for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I loved Slayer, so you had to know that I was going to pre-order this as soon as it came out.

I absolutely enjoyed this book and found that it was a brilliant follow up to Slayer, I found that the writing just flowed so well and I found myself just breezing through this book.
The book is from what I can gather the final book in the duology (which I am gutted about as I want more of these characters).
As it is the last book, it does end everything quite well and doesn't leave any unanswered questions, everything is very neatly tied up.

I loved how the story went and loved that the main focus was on the sibling relationship between Nina and Artemis, but I also love that we see more of Cillian in the story. I found myself enjoying the twist at the end.

I found myself fan squealing when there were appearances of some of my favourite characters, (when you read the book, you'll know what I mean).

Overall, a really good ending to the duology and if you're a Buffy fan and a great addition to the Buffyverse.
