This is a first of a series of novels based on the show Supernatural. As much as I try my hardest to stay away from books like these (I'm usually disappointed in them), since I quite a fan of the show I decided to give them a try. 
 The writing is ok and so is the character development...but something just seemed to be missing. Though you could definitely see the similarities to the characters in the show both Sam and Dean seemed a tad off here. I cannot put my finger on it, but again, after finishing this I was left with a feeling that something was missing. I guess if I did not watch the show before, this read would seem much better to me.
