★★★★★

The world has lost its connection to magic, thanks to Buffy’s choices at the end of Season 8, and there are growing pains all around.

Having relocated to San Francisco, Buffy discovers a new breed of troubles — zompires, a magical siphon, a sullen Wiccan best friend, and, along with her other twenty-something-type ordeals, a pesky student loan.

Then, when Willow goes walkabout, Buffy is suddenly dealing with a pregnancy, body snatching, robots, and a rogue Slayer — all while coming to terms with her relationship with Spike.

★★★★★
