"Buffy Summers is just like any other student...except for the part where she's also a secret vampire slayer. In every generation, one girl is granted great strength to stand against the forces of darkness. Of course, power doesn't matter when it comes to eating lunch alone, getting picked on by the cool kids, or having too much homework. Luckily, Buffy finds her way with a can-do attitude, a weird Watcher, and new besties, Sarafina and Alvaro (who might just have powers of their own). But will any of it be enough to turn the tide when an army of villainous vampires invade town? Can Buffy save herself, let alone the world?"--Provided by publisher.

In a race against time, the girls must rescue Hubble, save the garden,and solve the mystery of the missing Monarchs"--Provided by publisher.

Join Lucy, the gang, Hubble the snarky kitty, and their TV reporter buddy, Suzy Pundergast, to find out if they can prove the meanies wrong because when girls stick together, anything is possible!"--Provided by publisher.

"Homura discovers that she has been trapped in an illusory space all along. Though she resolves to find and put a stop to the culprit behind the illusion, her friends' apparent happiness in this false reality makes Homura wonder if she has more to lose than gain by putting an end to it"--Back cover.

The Pleiades Saints have to decide whether to kill their friend Kazumi, who is transforming into a witch.

"Trapped inside the witch's barrier with the vengeful Kanna, Umika and Kaoru struggle to protect Kazumi as their beloved friend slowly succumbs to her darkening soul gem. If the girls can rally, the witch's grief seed could be used to purify all of their gems, but even that would be only a temporary solution. Facing cruel fate and questions of her own identity, Kazumi will make the ultimate choice whether or not to join her friends in their vendetta against destiny"--Back cover.

"When she fails to save Sayaka, Mami is overcome by despair and loneliness. With the fate of every Magical Girl made clear before her, Mami chooses to embrace death rather than fight on. As Mami sets out to deliver herself into the hands of the witch, Kyouko rushes to confront her former mentor. Mami's soul gem steadily darkens--soon her doom will be certain. Can Kyouko give Mami a reason to fight on before her gem turns jet-black?"--Back cover.
