Supernatural: Witch's Canyon: 2 (Supernatural Series)

If you love Supernatural then this is a book you need to have in your collection 🤩👏🏻

Season 2の10話「悪魔の計画」の後の話。11話「禁じられた遊び」へと繋がるサムの心の動きが、わかります。 魔女の渓谷。40年ごとに起こる不可解な虐殺の数々、どこからともなく現れるインディアンやカウボーイ。 すべての原因は、その場所がナショナルパークになる前の出来事にあった。 グランドキャニオンへ立ち寄る二人、プチ観光してます。 普段は「俺についてこい」調の兄ですが、はじめは弟のリードで調査が進行し、地元の人間ベアードの協力を得てからは兄の本領発揮。 多少強引な部分もありますが、本編のままのサム＆ディーンです。 弟を助けようとするシーンは、お兄さんっぷりの見せ場。 途中、手間と時間のかかる工程もありますが、辛抱強く読み進めればディーン気分を味わえるかもしれません。 過去にジョンから受けた厳しいトレーニングがあるからこそ、乗り越えられるんだなと思いました。 そんなふうに頑張っているにもかかわらず、弟から別行動を提案され、強がっているけれど内心しょんぼりな兄が切ない。 サム8才ディーン12才、サム10才ディーン14才の頃の思い出も綴られています。 子供の頃から本当に面倒見の良いお兄さんで、泣けてくる。 （お菓子で釣ってますが……そして釣られる素直な弟） Combination of snow mountains and Supernatural. After reading the book, actually I departed for Grand Canyon.

While not quite as compelling as it’s predecessor Nevermore, Witch’s Canyon is still an enjoyable romp. Two and a half stars.

I've recently become a convert of the show Supernatural, and have watched the complete series twice within the last two months. Even this has not been enough to satisfy my addiction, and I've turned to the books to help tide me over for when I can't watch the Winchester boys onscreen. The first novel, written by Keith R.A. Decandido, was alright, and I soon moved on to the second, the subject of this review. I've since read the third, also by Decandido, skipped the fourth (it's not even about Sam and Dean but about Samuel and John), again by Decandido, and am now just starting the fifth (by Joe Schrieber). Of the five books, I most wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Witch's Canyon by Jeff Mariotte. He gets Sam and Dean exactly right. His portrayal of their personalities, their interactions, their routines - all flawless. Reading the book, it FEELS like an episode of the show, right down to the description of Baby's rumbling growl, their skeezy motel room, the generics of small town America, and Dean's ceaseless flirting. There's also the plot of this book to recommend it. It is unpredictable, and had me guessing to the end. It has moments that are downright scary, which is of course what any fan of Supernatural really wants. Scary and sexy and family and funny, all in the right amounts, and Mariotte nails it bang on. Fans of Supernatural- buy this book! Don't waste your time on Decandido. He does ok, but Mariotte is a master, and reading books 1, 3, and 4 will only disappoint you. Mariotte understands and imbues his story with that certain Supernatural /je ne sais quoi/ that Decandido does not. Leave the others and feast on Witch's Canyon. You will love it; I absolutely guarantee it.

I don't do books. I NEVER owned a book in my life, but my obsession with all things Supernatural led me to buy the only 3 published novels to go alongside the series. This is the first I have read - well I'm not quite at the end but so far it's not disappointing. Plenty of blood, guts and scares to rival any of the series episodes. A must for any true fan - sending our boys to the Grand Canyon, and becomming involved in a strange case of a town being attacked by all manner of ghostly old Indians, army soldiers and nasty shapeshifting beasties. Throw in a rampaging bear, a seriously unpleasant wolf, wildlife that claws your eyes out or swarms of insects that descend if you try to leave on one of the towns roads - a new shopping mall about to be opened, a deluded town Mayor and a 90 odd year old man helping the Winchesters, and you have the makings of a good story! My first of 3 books from the series - and I'm already hooked.
