Anyway, right away this book gave me supernatural vibes and I loved that. I enjoyed the little thoughts from Cas, and his friendship group dynamic was so fun.
I definitely enjoyed this book a lot and I felt it kept moving at a good pace so that you'd never get bored and want to put it down. The horror aspect was also pretty cool, and there's one part towards the end where I genuinely felt the fear as it was revealed.
Now... *spoilers* ahead so be warned.
And they kept trying to say "She killed Mike" and I was like "he deserved it". Am I supposed to feel bad for Mike? He was a d*ck like Cas said. Karma do be like that. Will was so annoying by constantly taking Mike's side when they were the ones who hit Cas and locked him in with a murderous ghost. Their intent was to kill Cas for talking to Carmel (his ex btw) and he got what was coming to him. Absolutely ridiculous, and I'm glad Will died cause he was a douche by the end.
Excited for book 2.

- kills ghosts
- has a source of information in New Orleans
- side character named WILL ROSENBERG
- references Buffy
- references the mystery machine from Scooby-Doo
- Gideon - father figure like SPN's Bobby who was friends with his dad, name from Elder on Charmed, is from London like Giles...
- Men of Power = Men of Letters (SPN)
- Thomas & Carmel = scoobies like Buffy
- Thomas = Willow (witch
- found Carmel's ex & his friend dead by a monster's hand
- Carmel = Cordelia
- Anna = Angel. Evil, saved, but still a ghost/supernatural creature
- Cas has prophetic dreams
- Cas hunts "the thing that killed dad"... SPN, anyone?
- Carmel calls Cas "Buffy" to Thomas
Read this for a nostalgic fun foray back into shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, and Supernatural. I listened to the audiobook, and it is a good time, enough to convince me to check the adventures in the sequel. Do not expect a serious story with good writing.
