Publisher's summary
This epic finale to the Buffy: The Next Generation trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake (Three Dark Crowns) features the next generation of Scoobies and Slayers who must defeat a powerful new evil.
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.

Spike just wants to enjoy the spoils of his new reputation. He's now a legendary slayer killer, and he's returning to London. Unfortunately, his new abode is far from ideal (a dank basement), and the rest of his strange little "family" is reeling from the fact that their patriarch, Angellus, abandoned them. Spike's love, Drusilla, seems especially heartbroken. Desperate to break Dru out of her melancholy, Spike vows to steal a powerful relic that will help her focus on their dark future together. It's the perfect plan—that is until a monster named Gunnar steals the relic first.

Over the course of its seven-year run, Buffy the Vampire Slayer cultivated a loyal fandom and featured a strong, complex female lead, at a time when such a character was a rarity. Evan Ross Katz explores the show’s cultural relevance through a book that is part oral history, part celebration, and part memoir of a personal fandom that has universal resonance still, decades later. Katz reveals that although Buffy contributed to important conversations about gender, sexuality, and feminism, it was not free of internal strife, controversy, and shortcomings.

The fire wasn’t Marlowe Wexler’s fault. Dates should be hot, but not hot enough to warrant literal firefighters. Akilah, the girl Marlowe has been in love with for years, will never go out with her again. No one dates an accidental arsonist. With her house-sitting career up in flames, it seems the universe owes Marlowe a new summer job, and that’s how she ends up at Morning House, a mansion built on an island in the 1920s and abandoned shortly thereafter. It’s easy enough, giving tours. Low risk of fire. High chance of getting bored talking about stained glass and nut cutlets and Prohibition.

Story
In 1997, creator Joss Whedon revisited a screenplay that had previously been adapted into a relatively forgotten horror-comedy film: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dissatisfied with how the film turned out, Whedon developed his own version of the story as an allegory for the "horrors" of growing up. For seven years, Buffy and her friends (the Scoobies) battled demons, both of the metaphorical and literal kind and, along the way, took part in a series that defines the term "cult classic."

Best of the Bunch
This is it. this has the perfect villians, the floppy heros and the mistakes and drama of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
yes it can be a little cheesey with its call backs and quotes of the show, but that's so small in this book. I like the chapter titles in this one being stuff from the show twisted. the Wear wolf twist was great, the gang messing things up and having drama.
and the ending was satisfying and yet leaves just enough to keep you wondering. very good, very very good

This Series Completely Recaptures that Old Magic
Wow! What a Trilogy! Kendare Blake didn't just understand the assignment; she's teaching the class! If taken as a whole, this is better than, "Slayers," in my opinion (though that was pretty good, too). Which... is interesting, because, Slayers was written by Christopher Golden (veteran Buffy author) and Amber Benson (Tara on the TV show and a fine author/narrator in her own right), and this series reminds me very strongly of Golden's Comic Book novels from the 90's (Also available on audible and certainly worth a look). They are (like Golden's books) wonderfully written, researched, plotted, and faithful to the original material while going in new and interesting directions. Also, Kendare Blake is, quite obviously, a Buffy fan (takes one to know one). The references alone prove that. To me, this is better than any reunion could ever be (even if you brought back the whole cast). With new characters alongside old, this furthers the original material while paying homage to what's come before. The Next Generation is a very fitting title for this Trilogy (and that's coming from someone who enjoys Star Trek, as well). Frankie and the New Scoobies are the best thing to happen to Buffy the Vampire Slayer since Spike in season 2.
Speaking of Spike, let me talk about the narration of Sarah Mollo-Christensen for a minute. She's perfect! Her Spike voice is amazing. Like, bang on! All the returning characters sound like their old selves, but appropriately aged up for the material. I'm floored! Every character's voice is distinct, clear, and interesting. Both author and narrator absolutely nail that quippy, "Well, that just happened," style that Buffy (arguably) began. A couple jokes and turns of phrase made me laugh out loud!
This is a great end to the Trilogy. It has a fantastic villain (or Big Bad, if you prefer). It manages several character arcs and concludes them all in a very satisfying way. All while leaving the door open for more. Jordy the werewolf wasn't as involved as I initially thought he would be. He never actually shows up in Sunnydale. It's his influence that's the problem. But I didn't get this book for his inclusion. Nice to see the return of several Buffy alums we haven't encountered in this series so far, too. This is on point from word one. Also, I continue to love, "Watcher Spike." That's genius.
I love reading things that prove, "Suggested reading age," is simply that: A suggestion. My only real complaint is that this could be the end. It shouldn't be. The last in a trilogy? Fine. Sure. But if Thomas Covenant (insufferable as he is) can get more than one Trilogy; this should run 'til... 'round about the end of time. So, if you're a Buffy fan... Try these, they really scratch that old itch!
Finally, let me just say that (again, like with Christopher Golden) I'm going to have to start exploring Kendare Blake's other titles. And as long as we're having fun with nostalgia and genre here, allow me to end by quoting Raphael from the 1990 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," Movie: "Gosh... I do hope there's more of them!"

Loved This!
I enjoyed this trilogy. Although it says it is final, I really hope to read more about Frankie, the vampire slayer, in the future. This trilogy stayed true to the Buffyverse canon, and I loved the callbacks to the show. The narrator, Sarah Mollo-Christensen, fantastically brought former and new characters to life. This left me wanting more.
