The final book in The Slayer Chronicles finds Joss facing higher stakes and greater danger than ever before. His hometown of Santa Carla is under attack by vampires, and he does not have the aid of his team. To make matters worse, his cousin Henry will be staying the summer with his family, making Joss’s life and duties as a slayer even more difficult. The reappearance of familiar faces will further muddle his allegiances, creating even more doubt that he must overcome. Though Joss’s problems and struggles are supernatural, they parallel those of typical teens, making him a relatable character; and Henry’s ever-shifting mood and opinion are an all-too-accurate depiction of teens. With Joss’s available resources at an all-time low, he often finds himself in a moral quagmire of breaking the rules versus fulfilling his slayer duties. As the final book, numerous story lines are resolved throughout this title; some are rather awkward, though ultimately satisfying. Fans of the series will be anxious for this final chapter in Joss’s story and the shocking revelations within its pages. Reviewer: Susan Hampe; Ages 12 to 18.
In the final book of The Slayer Chronicles trilogy, Slayer Joss McMillan is home in Santa Clara when he's assigned to track down and take out a murderous vampire. But vampires aren't Joss's only trouble this summer: His girl-crazy cousin Henry is staying with him, and still holding a grudge against Joss for trying to kill his best friend, Vladimir Tod. Joss's former mentor and supposedly dead vampire, Sirus, is casting a shadow on Joss's every move. And Kat, Joss's old friend, has come back to exact revenge for past wrongs. Yet none of this compares to the devastating secret Joss discovers about the murder of his sister, Cecile. In a story full of unexpected revelations, it is up to Joss to protect the ones he loves and face the truth about his sister's death-even if it means paying the ultimate price.
The Slayer Chronicles can be listened to alongside The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod or completely on their own. This thrilling conclusion will have fans racing to discover the fate of Joss the Slayer.
