Against the Darkness

The vampire‘s footsteps thudded against the pavement as he chased the girl through the back alleys and dark streets of New Sunnydale.

I don't know if this is casual racism or pointed foreshadowing of relation... but it really irks me when the only 2 black characters end up being either related or a couple 🙄

Appointment-waiting is never fun, but at least I have a fun book to keep me company. Excited to see how this Buffyverse trilogy ends and even more excited to get it in before spooky season is over 🦇🌕🦇

This was a pretty fun conclusion to the Blake‘s “Buffyverse” trilogy, but I remain confused about the target audience. The trilogy—and especially this last one—definitely requires extensive familiarity with the 90‘s/00‘s show and I‘m not convinced that very many teens have that…

4 ⭐ We know who the darkness is. We knew who the bad people are, the villains of this book. We know from the beginning and now it‘s do we defeat the villains or do we do something else. Plus, the Scooby‘s really need to get Buffy back. This book also gets a little bit into Frankie‘s romance with a demon which is interesting but is a little too much Angel angst for this reader. Even Willow is like oh my god, Angel 2.0. I (Willow) do not need

LibrarianRyan to deal with this. Overall, this is a fantastic conclusion to this series. Is this the best book series? Probably not. However, this book ended the series in the right place. I love that this book and the series wasn‘t about the romance, even though that is prevalent in this book, unless you can Willow‘s romance… This was about growing up taking on a new lead and learning that you can do anything and that others believe in you as well. I like this 6mo

LibrarianRyan book. I like this series. It was a great trip down memory lane even if I did do a little look up for who some of the old characters were. I think this was a great addition to Buffy and I‘m glad I finally got around to reading them. 6mo
