This book is based on the television series "Supernatural". Best part of these books tied into the show is that each book is a whole new adventure that is not an actual episode of the show. Most of the time when I read books based off of a television series, the book picks an episode and just details it better to get all the facts and figures across. Having a whole new storyline that ties into the series but does not copy an actual episode is a fun experience. Making things even better, there is a description included with each book stating when the book takes place along the lines of the series. I love this because it helps me stay on track without me jumping ahead to something I have not watched yet. I watch Supernatural on dvd and not when it is aired so this is extremely important.

For those of you that watch the show, this book takes place between season 5 and season 6 during what is referred to as "the lost year" that was a void between the two seasons. Sam is thought to still be in hell as the vessel of Lucifer and Dean is beginning to settle down into a more domesticated life. Of course Dean wanting his brother back decides to take his new girlfriend and her son on a family trip to Salem in order to find a witch with the right tools to resurrect his brother. Little does he know there is more sinister things happening in Salem at the present time. These sinister events relate back to the original Salem Witch Trials. Just like the series on television, the book is full of action and adventure with the adding in of supernatural events that the show prides itself on.

I highly recommend this if you are a fan of the show. I have not missed one of the book tie-ins yet, and have just received the next one to read. I gobble them up like a kid eats candy and love every minute of them. If you don't have the background on the show, stop and go back and find out the history first so you are not lost. Each season has a published guide on the season so if you are not into watching all five previous seasons, they are a quick way to catch up on the previous action.
