It was a bit boring to be honest and the plot didn't seem very well developed for the most part.Ā 

Liked that Garth was in it and enjoyed the the flashbacks to Sam and Dean as kids.

Well... where do I start?

I suppose, when you go into books like this, you shouldn't really expect too much, and I didn't. I went into this knowing that this will be entertaining for me as a fan of the series but from a plot standpoint, it will not be the best read ever.

This book is both good and bad, I suppose.

I really enjoyed reading about the Winchesters, and their characters were portrayed very well, and the plot was entertaining enough for the book to feel like another episode of the show. Having Garth make an appearance was also a nice touch.

The plot was a pretty standard Supernatural plot. Not bad, not exceedingly good.

What I didn't like is the motivation of the characters. The instant love between Greg and Morgan - they knew each other for literally a day - was just a no for me. I think that the idea of the two rival packs being linked somehow is a very good one, but it could've done without the imprinting.

Another big minus for me was just how many writing mistakes there were throughout the book. Unnecessary repetitions, phrasings, sentence structures.
As a writer, I notice things like that instantly, and though for a lot of people it would not have been a minus - a lot of people would not have noticed in the first place - for me it was a big let-down.

I can't say that I loved this book, but it was a good start to the book series, and I can see myself picking up a few more in the future. Maybe even all of them.

One word... Garth!
Tim Waggoner is not my favorite of the writerā€™s of Supernatural novels, I donā€™t feel he ā€œgetsā€ the characters completely, but he writes a good story. Fans of Supernatural will enjoy spending time with Sam, Dean, and Garth, encountering a new kind of creature, and well, you know the drill, saving people and hunting things.
