A Supernatural novel that reveals a previously unseen
adventure for the Winchester
brothers, from the hit TV series! Twenty-three years ago, Sam and Dean
Winchester lost their mother to a demonic supernatural force. Following the
tragedy, their father taught the boys everything about the paranormal evil that
lives in the dark corners of America ...
and how to kill it. Bobby Singer alerts Sam and Dean to a series of
particularly brutal killings in San
Francisco 's Japantown. It's been 270 new moons since
the last time, and it looks like the Heart of the Dragon is back...
Sorry for missing my movie review on Monday, it's just been a little hectic this past week and will continue to be so for a little while.
Anyway!
The first in the new cover series, but still classed as book
4 of the whole range, brings in another great edition from Keith.
As stated before DeCandido does a wonderful job portraying
the brothers and their relationship, he is one of my favourites to adapt the
series to book range and this one is no different.
As someone who lives in the old United Kingdom, I can’t say
how accurate any of the locations are to their original regions, I know the
show does the typical thing of using Canada as any place but Canada (except in
that one meta, fourth wall episode) but book wise? I’m not sure on the
accuracy.
If it is accurate, then I think it does a good job of
portraying the focused area and introduces people who aren’t really familiar
with it to that little place we didn’t know existed.
Did I know there was a Japantown in San Francisco ?
Nope.
But I’ve heard of it now.
Do I know if it actually exists now?
No.
You’ll have to excuse my ignorance, but I’m also not
amazingly familiar with my own countries geography so it’s nothing personal, I
just don’t care about that particular subject.
The case at hand is a good one and keeps you nicely
intrigued, it’s not the best case out of the whole book series, but it’s
certainly one of the better ones.
If I had to choose between rereading this one and say…One
Year Gone, I wouldn’t hesitate to nab this one up again, and not just to avoid
reading that.I will be getting to that one in a few short weeks time.
All in all, it’s a good read, not the strongest but most
definitely not the weakest.
