A new Slayer for a new generation…
Frankie Rosenberg is passionate about the environment, a sophomore at New Sunnydale High School, and the daughter of the most powerful witch in Sunnydale history. Her mom, Willow, is slowly teaching her magic on the condition that she use it to better the world. But Frankie’s happily quiet life is upended when new girl Hailey shows up with news that the annual Slayer convention has been the target of an attack, and all the Slayers—including Buffy, Faith, and Hailey’s older sister Vi—might be dead. That means it’s time for this generation’s Slayer to be born.
But being the first ever Slayer-Witch means learning how to wield a stake while trying to control her budding powers. With the help of Hailey, a werewolf named Jake, and a hot but nerdy sage demon, Frankie must become the Slayer, prevent the Hellmouth from opening again, and find out what happened to her Aunt Buffy, before she’s next.
Get ready for a whole new story within the world of Buffy!
The first in an all-new series by New York Times best-selling author Kendare Blake continues the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer featuring the next generation of Scoobies and Slayers who must defeat a powerful new evil.
Why I Chose This Book
Stake, crossbow, vampire slayage – I’m so ready! As a lifelong Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, when I saw In Every Generation, the new YA novel continuing the Buffy universe, on sale, I quickly bought it. A chance to dive back into the world of slayers, Hellmouths, and demon-hunting? Sign me up!
The moment I read that this next chapter centers around Willow’s daughter Frankie discovering her own supernatural slayer-witch powers, I just knew I was destined for this book.
With OG Scooby Gang members potentially making appearances and references to iconic slayers like Buffy and Faith woven in, In Every Generation feels like the perfect love letter to longtime Buffy devotees like me. Consider me fully on-board!
The premise alone – a new slayer called up in Frankie’s generation as the Hellmouth threatens to open – is enough to give me chills. I cannot wait to meet the scrappy new Chosen One and her own scooby crew as they try to once again save Sunnydale…and the world!
This book blends my favorite doses of fantasy action, fierce heroines, and nostalgic callbacks to one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I’m thrilled to dive back into the dangers and delights of the Buffy universe through this fresh lens. So let the butt-kicking adventures begin!
