"A worthy successor to the Slayer stories." ―Booklist (starred review for In Every Generation)

Into every generation, a slayer is born. One girl in all the world...sort of.

Frankie Rosenberg is the world's first slayer-witch, but she doesn't have that slay-life balance figured out just yet. She's still reeling from the deadly explosion at the annual slayer retreat―and new evidence that some slayers may have survived. And while she's defeated her first Big Bad, Frankie soon realizes it was just a warm-up act. Bigger, badder forces of evil are just getting started.

The Hellmouth has been reawakened and its calling old friends home. Portals are opening between Sunnydale and other dimensions. And the Scooby Gang has too many demons to contend with―real, metaphorical, and sometimes absurdly hot.

Then an oracle warns of a new foe on its way: the Darkness. Could this be what attacked the slayers? And is it coming for Frankie?

New York Times best-selling author Kendare Blake takes readers back to the demon capital of the world in this sequel to In Every Generation.

One Girl in All the World is the second book in a new YA series set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's not mandatory that you read the first book before this one, but I would highly suggest it. There are many references to people and things that happened in the first book and it might be a bit confusing if you're not caught up on the storyline that continues into this novel. I've been a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer since I watched the series on TV and I was really excited to learn they were writing a series set in that same world. The first book was great and I really enjoyed it. I was excited and had high hopes for this book - and I'm happy to say that I wasn't disappointed.

The author does a beautiful job of bringing everything in this world to life for the reader. The characters are realistic and easy to connect with, the setting is vibrant with vivid imagery and detailed descriptions, and the plot flowed seamlessly throughout the book. I loved the main character, Frankie, and really liked getting to know her. She's smart, strong, determined, and doesn't shy away from the demands of being a slayer. I connected with her right from the beginning of the book and loved seeing the story unfold alongside her.

The only issue I had with the novel was the writing style. Don't get me wrong - the writing is incredibly well done and there's nothing wrong with it. The author told the story from the third-person point of view, which I don't like. I personally prefer the first-person POV because of the deeply personal connection the reader makes with the narrator. I never get that from third-person writing. Again - this is just my personal opinion and doesn't reflect on the book or author in any way. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I can't wait for the next one in the series to come out. I highly recommend it to fans of YA fantasy, paranormal/supernatural, contemporary fiction, and action/adventure, as well as fans of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe.

Kendare Blake is the New York Times bestselling author of several novels and short stories. Her work is sort of dark, always violent, and features passages describing food from when she writes while hungry. She was born in July in Seoul, South Korea, but doesn’t speak a lick of Korean, as she was packed off at a very early age to her adoptive parents in the United States. That might be just an excuse, though, as she is pretty bad at learning foreign languages. She lives and writes in Gig Harbor, Washington, with her husband, their cat son Tyrion Cattister, red Doberman dog son Obi-Dog Kenobi, rottie mix dog daughter Agent Scully, and naked Sphynx cat son Armpit McGee.
