Being that these books are all written by different authors, you never really know what you're going to get when you open one. Some of them I love, one or two I could barely finish. This one is one of the best ones of the bunch. With demons and ghosts, and a little bit of Bobby thrown in (Yay!), it's a spooky good story. Most importantly, DeCandido gets the boys' personalities right. Nothing will suck me out of the story faster than Dean or Sam saying something stupidly out of character. So, if you're a fan of the show (and why would you be reading these if you're not?), you'll like this one. It's got all the elements of a good episode.

Another good Supernatural story, the author obviously loves his famous classic authors as is the second of his two novels to reference a famous author. It was the third novel out of three to have ghosts and although it had demons too, it would be nice to have the novel centre on a different monster. I found there was a bit too much back and forth with the chapters which made it a bit difficult to follow. One chapter you're with the Winchesters and the next you're with a random person dying. I liked having Bobby in the story and getting some backstory for him.

Much like the first two tie-in novels I read, this one was a good way to pass the time, although it's nothing spectacular. I did like the case the boys were working, and the way the author really fleshed out Key West and the people you'd see there. I also felt like the boys were more in character than the previous two installments, which was definitely a good thing; with a show like Supernatural as your basis, you kind of need the characters to sound like the characters you see on TV! I also liked the appearance from Bobby, and the nods to the season this is set in (season 3), particularly Dean's looming trip to hell. All in all this was a solid story, and definitely the best of the three tie-in novels I've read so far.

Like to see the boys have a little fun in the sun in Key West. Also liked to see that they got to talk to one of the spirits , and develope a friendly relationship somewhat, with them.
It wasn't quite as funny as the other books, but still a good read between between series breaks.

At first I wasn't sure if I would like this book, but now I'm glad that I've read it. The many perspective changes broke my reading flow, but halfway through the book it became less confusing and more enthralling. I enjoyed this little ghosty trip with Dean and Sam. ;)
