One girl in all the world...

Frankie is the daughter of Willow Rosenberg, Sunnydale's most powerful witch and Buffy's bestie. Willow teaches Frankie magic, and how to use it for the greater good. Spike and a teenage girl, Hailey, show up at the Rosenbergs' door to tell them that the annual Slayer convention was attacked. Frankie's Aunt Buffy, Hailey's sister Vi, and their friend Faith may have died in the attack. When Frankie finds herself suddenly endowed with slayer powers, the older slayers' untimely end seems more likely. As the first Slayer-Witch, Frankie awkwardly tries to navigate her new powers and responsibilities while trying to hone her magic skills. Not ready to give up on the chance that Buffy and the other slayers are still alive, Frankie and her friends set out to find answers while combatting a new evil in Sunnydale. Will the new generation of the Scooby gang nail the big bad and find answers? Or will Frankie go down like generations of slayers before her?
I am a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, so I was a little nervous, but excited to read this novel. This extension of the Buffyverse was a thrill to read, especially with beloved characters from the original series being part of the story. Frankie's one-liners reminded me of Buffy, and I couldn't get enough of the new Scooby gang! I listened to the audiobook, and I loved the narrator's way of voicing each character. I would recommend this novel to anyone who loves Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or a good vampire story!
