Such a great book. Funny, disturbing and well written. Easily in the top 5 of best books read this year, and I'm saying that in December.

The blending of mundane elements with the supernatural works really well. The love story is intense, and for once, it's an established and mature relationship. Also for once, a fifty-two year old woman is a central character, and a wonderfully snarky one at that.

I had no real use for all the friends visiting, I don't feel they were very necessary to the story, and partially just annoying.

I don't watch Supernatural so I have no frame of reference for the comparisons between this book and the show that other people have made. What I do know is that I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would and despite some minor niggling annoyances, I would recommend it to anyone who likes UF novels. 3.5 stars

If this didn't start its life as Supernatural fanfiction, I'll eat my own shorts.

That said, this was really good. The characters felt compelling and fleshed out, and the story kept me interested. I might look into the sequels.

I loved this! It's like an m/m mash-up of something from Jim Butcher's world. Just... amazing. It's emotional and snarky and laugh-out-loud funny, and I adore the ensemble cast that's going on. I really can't get into too much of everything I love without getting spoilery, but it worked wonderfully, and I never saw the ending (though, really, I should have). Also, Coyote? Awesome. Next please!

To be honest, I loved this-- until I didn't. After a certain point I found the characters to be patronising and hypocritical. Such as:

It's fine murdering innocent people when it's for yourself and your loved ones... But when OTHER people do it it's reprehensible.

Or:

It's terrible when people judge you for how you grieve... But if someone has a meltdown on TV it's "undignified" and "fake".

Cuz you know. Going on a self destructive drunken binge for over a year is so much more dignified and valid.

I also felt I got dropped smack in the middle of a story and wish I had read it all from the beginning. I also gave 0 fucks about the relationship since the man was literally gone for all of it except sex scenes.

This had a lot of potential, but failed ultimately for me.

This was a fun quick read. I liked the interaction between the characters. It was basically like a long Supernatural episode. Not great but still very entertaining. Not sure I'll read the next book though.

3.5 stars

This was just... so very meh. It started of promising but then it sort of fizzled. A lot of people mentioned it reads like a Supernatural fanfiction, and I have to agree. Except the brothers are having sex together. Ew. I mean, I know they're stepbrothers but I still found it icky (because they're siblings, not because they're two guys).

100% Supernatural fanfiction turned real book. The story was good, but the writing was only so-so.

This was a little slow to get going for me, but it gets better as you go. I think there were too many side characters. It seemed like a few were just there for "quirk" factor. The mystery was interesting, easy to solve, but there was an added factor I didn't guess. I liked Dale. I like James. I think my big issue is that it felt like I was reading fanfic that wasn't supposed to be fanfic. Way similar to Supernatural, it was hard to separate it in my mind. (It doesn't help that I'm not Team Wincest.)
