"Will get Buffy fans up in their feels." --Entertainment Weekly on Slayer 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.

Had just as much fun with this one as the first book (and the show). I still don‘t get the appeal of Honora for Artemis, but that‘s a minor quibble considering everything else going on in this book. For the most part I really liked the narrator but it bothered me how wrong she got Oz‘s voice.

Finished the first book - Slayer. As a huge Buffy fan I wanted to like this more then I did. It was still a pick overall and held my interest enough to move on to this one.

This literally took me months to finish... I was bored with it and didn't really care for any of the characters. Which is a huge bummer because I normally like Kiersten White and Buffy is my all-time favorite show... but this was underwhelming after the 1st book was really fun. On the plus side, it was my #doublespin and 1/6 finished titles for #JubilantJuly

I'm struggling a bit to get into my #bookspin title after 50 pages, so I'm taking a break from it to try something else from my list...

2/3 of this book were very YA (teens making mistakes because they didn't talk to one another) but the last third of the book made up for it. I enjoyed the ending.

We're supposed to have nothing but cold, wet weather for the next 2 weeks - I'm going to make the most of my porch time while I can!
Jumping into my #bookspin title tonight!

Slajaunie I have and love the blanket on your lap. Unfortunately, here in south Louisiana we don‘t have a whole lot of cold days. 5y
Johanna414 @Slajaunie want to trade weather for a bit? We always joke that Wester New York weather gets a little confused, but this year has been ridiculous. It‘s looking like snow late this week... 5y
Slajaunie Wow! Ours is confused as well because we actually had a spring. We usually only have cold and wet or hot and humid. Our weather has been beautiful. Hope your improves! 5y
Linsy Love the mug! ✨ 5y

I was so excited to find the #bookspinbonanza numbers posted when I opened Litsy this morning! Here's my books in order, minus the kindle titles and one that is being delivered Tuesday. I'm finishing up an April book today and then diving in to my #bookspin book! @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 5y
Suet624 So fun, right? 5y
Johanna414 @Suet624 yes! It's nice to have something positive to focus on right now 5y

I really liked this book so far. Nina is a pretty cool Slayer in the Buffyverse. Yes, that Buffy! #chosen #kierstenwhite

There's a lot that takes place in this book and the story is good, plus it does end on a more positive note but Artemis just mars most of the enjoyment for me. This is book 2 of the Slayer series and I'll continue with it but I hope to gods that that character gets better or this may end up on my DNF pile with a few other series I've set down that have overly annoying characters.

Ok, now the song is going to be stuck in my head. It was probably one of my favorites from that episode.

One child woke up from her nap with a high fever today, the other woke up with a gushing nose bleed. The only thing this day has going for it is some good #bookmail

Jas16 Oh no! Hope they both feel better soon 5y
Soubhiville Oh no! That doesn‘t sound fun. I hope it all passes soon. 5y
Crazeedi Oh no, you have your hands full! Hugs❣ 5y

A fun follow-up to Slayer with Nina developing into her slayer abilities a bit more while those around her adjust to her new status. I felt like I wanted a bit more from this book, but I don‘t know if the book was a little lacking or my expectations were just a bit too high. 🤔 But I enjoyed it!

(Wearing one of my best shirts today.)

Megabooks Love that shirt!! 5y

Loved getting to spend the evening with Kiersten White last night at Tattered Cover as she discussed her latest book, Chosen, all things Buffy the Vampire Slayer and so much more. Another great thing, I‘ve now been to enough of her events that she remembered me and commented on being happy to see me. #AuthorEvent #BookSigning

This was the second book in this series, set in the Buffy-verse. I love White‘s writing and snark. And a bunch of favorites showed up for cameos.
