Product Description

Twenty-two years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. In the years after, their father, John, taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of Americaand he taught them how to kill it.

Sam and Dean have set out on a road trip to the Grand Canyon, but this is no vacation for the brothers. On a stretch of deserted ranchland just beyond the canyon's stunning vistas, mysterious murder sprees have occurred every forty years. The area's inhabitants have been few and far between in years past, but a nearby mega-mall is about to celebrate its grand opening—and attract thousands of fresh victims.

The Winchester boys are determined to protect locals and shoppers alike, but they never anticipated they'd be fighting a group of killers this vicious, this vindictive, this . . . dead. A deadly horde of animal spirits and human ghosts has arisen to terrorize this tiny corner of the Arizona desert. If Sam and Dean can't figure out why, the wide-open spaces of the West will once again become a desolate frontier . . . and the witch's canyon will be the brothers' final resting place.

Reader Reviews
Generic Sam and Dean travel to a small town near the Grand Canyon where a forty year murder cycle has begun. The victims are killed in a number of brutal ways: gunshot wounds, wild animals attacks, knifings and attack by Indians. Is this a curse? The work of evil spirits? Shapeshifters? Dean and Sam are perplexed until they run into an old man with a gun who sheds some light on the situation. Together, the three try to stop the murders before the opening of a new mall which will certainly result in another spirit attack. I eagerly looked forward to this novel. I liked the previous Supernatural novel, which I felt was quite amusing and almost caught the essence of what Dean and Sam were about. This novel, while getting Dean's eye color right was very generic. There were two characters called Sam and Dean....But the humor was missing. The brothers just felt like any two yokels who hunted demons. The POV switches between the two protagonists and the murder victims really got old after a while. Yeah, this happens in the TV series too, but not a dozen different times. The ending was anticlimactic. Overall this wasn't really that good. Disappointing. Comments (2) | | (Report this)
