This is one of the best books in the SPN series so far. It was surprisingly about the core challenge of season5 (most books have been MOW- monster of the week). But then I read the author was Kripke assistant for the first 5 seasons and helped write an episode, it made sense. She also wrote the next book so I am excited to read it too.
This one focuses on the boys traveling back in time to try to find a missing pages of a Dead Sea scroll to try to stop Lucifer. The wrap up and reasoning was a bit convoluted. And involved a character Abaddon (Angel) who actually appears in the show 3 years later as a demon. Guess the writers of season 8 don’t consider these books canon! But Sam and Dean are true to character and allude to other hunters and networks (which also foreshadows developments in future years in the show)
