Huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer! I'm talking about the original cheesy movie from 1992 (complete with extended death scene of Paul Reubens' character) AND the seven seasons of the far-more dramatic television show starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. The show premiered when I was 17 and ended the year I completed my master's degree. I have vivid memories of watching the weekly episode in college, then running across the street to my Bible study group. Yeah, I know that seems weird. What can I say? I'm a weird girl.
If you're a fellow Buffy fan, I have fantastic news! Author Kendare Blake continues the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in a new series featuring the next generation of Scoobies and Slayers who must defeat a powerful new evil! The first book came out this week.
In Every Generation (01/04/22)
Frankie Rosenberg is passionate about the environment, a sophomore at New Sunnydale High School, and the daughter of the most powerful witch in Sunnydale history. Her mom, Willow, is slowly teaching her magic on the condition that she use it to better the world. But Frankie’s happily quiet life is upended when new girl Hailey shows up with news that the annual Slayer convention has been the target of an attack, and all the Slayers―including Buffy, Faith, and Hailey’s older sister Vi―might be dead. That means it’s time for this generation’s Slayer to be born.
But being the first ever Slayer-Witch means learning how to wield a stake while trying to control her budding powers. With the help of Hailey, a werewolf named Jake, and a hot but nerdy sage demon, Frankie must become the Slayer, prevent the Hellmouth from opening again, and find out what happened to her Aunt Buffy, before she’s next.
