This book was a nostalgic trip down memory lane that I desperately needed. From the iconic quotes to the subtle hints and episode references, it captured the essence of Buffy perfectly. Blake’s writing brought back the joy and excitement of watching the show for the very first time. This final book of the trilogy was an emotional rollercoaster that took me back to my childhood. One moment I’m laughing and the next I’m crying. Blake’s writing is so evocative, it feels like you’re right there in Sunnydale with the Scooby gang. I couldn’t put it down, savoring every page. While I’m sad to see it end, I’m grateful for this wonderful journey back to the Buffyverse. I am traumatized, though. I need more Buffy. I have an intense book hangover. Maybe a little PTSD, but definitely a great desire to rewatch Buffy. Again. Thank you, Blake, for taking me back into the Buffyverse one last time. If you’re a Buffy fan, this book series is a must-read!
