He was not afraid of the dark; he was afraid of what everwhelmed the dark. I have read every SPN novel I know of, always waiting for a new release. Enjoyed them all more or less. This one was an average read, though. Good story although the ending felt really rushed and left me with a couple questions (maybe my tired self just didn't grasp what the author wanted to say...), good writing although sometimes I was missing the SPN feeling and I found myself thinking: That doesn't sound like Dean or Sam... I still liked it but I'm sadly not thrilled.
