Supernatural Nevermore (by Keith R.A. DeCandido) is very much like a suspense mystery novel. It is set between the Supernatural episodes of "Crossroad Blues" and "Croatoan" from season two, so there are some of the supporting characters from the series are mentioned. I thought that this novel kept me interested, as the Winchester brothers were not just solving one case, but two. I really liked the references to Edgar Allen Poe's stories. I have to admit, I am not very familiar with Edgar Allen Poe or his stories, so learning a thing or two about him from this story was very cool for me. A neat thing about this novel is that at the beginning of each chapter, they tell you in italics the location and time in which the chapter is set in.
I think DeCandido did a good job of writing the characters Sam and Dean to be very similar to how the characters are portrayed on TV. I guess one of my biggest issue with TV Tie-ins like this one is the fact that they go inside the head of the characters. When watching the TV show, sometimes you think to yourself "what in the world was he thinking when he did that?", however in the book, they tell you what he's thinking. I guess it's a different way of understanding a character, one that I don't prefer. In conclusion, this book was pretty good, something Supernatural fans should enjoy.
