"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 mom - 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"-- Provided by publisher.

Kirkus Review

Are we in the post-spoiler era?Buffy the Vampire Slayer was known for its shocking plot twists, and it led to a whole generation of TV shows filled with constant surprises. So fans of the series will be on alert when they read this companion novel. Spoiler warning: In the previous book (Slayer, 2019), a character named Leo died. The main character in this entry, a Slayer called Nina, is always bringing up his name. After the 10th time, readers may actually be disappointed if Leo doesn't come back from the dead. White (The Guinevere Deception, 2019, etc.) is smart enough to comment, right in the text, on readers' expectations. Fortunately, the story isn't centered around its plot twists; the focus is always on the characters. Nina is both a slayer and a trained doctor, and, touchingly, she keeps struggling over whether to kill her enemies or save them. The best jokes also emerge from the characterizations. One character issweetly and hilariouslydistraught when he doesn't get to name a kitten. The author rarely describes the characters' races, but most of the central figures are white. There are two same-sex couples. Too many of the plot twists are predictable, but for this generation of fans, predicting them will be part of the fun.Another solid entry for Buffy fans.
