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.
My Review:
I loved reading this book! I'm not a hard core Buffy fan, but I watched the movie and the show, and I really enjoy Kiersten White's writing, and I really enjoyed the first book! And watching Nina deal with the strangeness of her powers after they were held by Eve was so entertaining to read!
In this book, we do learn more about Cillian, including the fact that there's more about them that even he knew. And it's kinda an important part of the plot! The rest of the gang has some good screen time, like Doug, I loved Nina and Doug's London adventure!
We do met other Slayers in this book in person, and Nina does have a few more Slayer dreams, with both Buffy and Faith, as well as an encounter with Oz, which was pretty fun. And then we were also in Artemis' head on and off. And while I felt for her, well, I could see the train wreck coming a mile away! But it was so entertaining to read!
That ending, yeah, it was really nice to read! Things worked out pretty well, it was satisfying, and it solved their problems. And I'm pretty sure this is a duology, so we won't have more from this series, most likely. Which is a little sad, because I enjoy reading about these characters!
This book was a fantastic read, I enjoyed it from beginning to end!
