I actually didn’t know there were tie-in novels except for John’s Journal and Bobby’s guide to hunting. If there are good ones out there though I might check them out. The one’s you liked, were they set in a specific season or just kinda vaguely within the series?
@rosemoonweaver There’s a whole set! (and they’re still publishing them). They’re all set in various seasons, written as cases that the boys went on that just aren’t shown in the show – the one I just finished and this garbage one are both set in s7, but there are others. You don’t have to read them in order, it’s just easier for me to keep track of what was happening canonically when I do it that way. Because I’m packing to move I’ve been getting rid of the ones I disliked and just keeping my favorites so I don’t have the whole collection anymore but, here’s the list (in rough order of season):
Nevermore (I really liked this one – it was based on Edgar Allan Poe. A lot of folks hated it but I enjoyed it.)
Witches Canyon (It was okay – I didn’t keep it, not one of my favorites but I didn’t hate it.)
Bone Key (This one was… Interesting. Not terrible, I liked it, but it was very… Different.)
Unholy Cause (I actually really liked this one. I wanted more of Cas in it, but I loved the historical stuff in it – it was based on the civil war.)
Heart of the Dragon (This one felt like more of a spin off than a tie-in – a lot of OC’s, but it involved John and Samuel as well (not together ofc) – I liked it.)
War of the Sons (This one was set during s5 and it was just so dumb imo. A lot of folks liked it but I was just bored by the whole thing.)
Coyote’s Kiss (Terrible. A Mary Sue as the main OC and it was just ridiculous. Felt like a crackfic.)
Night Terror (I loved this one. Scary and gory and just awesome. My favorite tie-in so far.)
Rite of Passage (Same author as Night Terror, I liked this one too. The monster was super interesting and the boys were in character which was nice.)
Fresh Meat (The one I’m reading now that I quoted in that previous post. Just… Save your time. This is as far as I’ve read so I’ll just list off the others cause I don’t have an opinion on them yet.)
Carved in Flesh
Cold Fire (another by the author of Night Terror and Rite of Passage)
Mythmaker
The Usual Sacrifices (This one isn’t out yet – I have it pre-ordered from Amazon though, it’s due out on 27 June).And I guess there’s a German only one as well, Supernatural: Die Dämonenjäger – I might have to pick up a copy of that one of these days as well.
@rosemoonweaver Oh, there’s also One Year Gone set in between s5 and s6 and it’s terrible. Don’t even bother.
Awesome. I’m gonna have to check some of these out.
