jljaina19 's review for:
Supernatural: Bone Key
by Keith R.A. DeCandido
Lots of mixed feelings on this Supernatural-based novel. It wasn't bad, especially for being a spin-off from a tv series, yet was far from impressive. The best paranormal-hunting brothers are always worth reading about.
**Warning if you have not seen at least the first 2 season of the tv series, this review may contain spoilers for you**
This story takes Sam and Dean to Key West. It takes place during the tv series' season three. Dean is trying to live up his last year, Sam wants to find a way to save him. This is one of the greatest positives for this book. I loved knowing when this takes place in the timeline. There is a lot happening in this novel. Ancient evil, demons and ghosts! While parts seem like it could make a good episode, there is a bit too much happening to make it work. And a fair share is left unresolved.
This is also quite cheesy. Just like the show has some light-hearted episodes (such as Yellow Fever), this goes right along. Yet it tries to toss in the serious aspect with Sam wanting to help Dean out. Bit of messy confusion as to how to perceive the focus. Especially being as I didn't get that strong relationship feel between the brothers here. Way too casual with the mix.
I did enjoy the Hemingway ghost stop. And all the cats!! Craziness! But very fun to read about. I suppose I now have a slight reason for visiting Key West myself one day!
