This is the first of the Supernatural novels and it was an ok read. I will read the others and hope they are a bit better than this one.

Back Cover Blurb:
Twenty two years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. In the years after, their father, John, taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America....and he taught them how to kill it.
Sam and Dean have hit New York City to check out a local rocker's haunted house. But before they can figure out why a lovesick banshee in an '80's heavy-metal T-shirt is wailing in the bedroom, a far more macabre crime catches their attention. Not far from the house, two university students were beaten to death by a strange assailant. A murder that's bizarre even by New York City standards, it's the latest in a line of killings that the brothers soon suspect are based on the creepy stories of legendary writer Edgar Allan Poe.
Their investigation leads them to the center of one of Poe's horror classics, face-to-face with their most terrifying foe yet. And if Sam and Dean don't rewrite the ending of this chilling tale, a grisly serial killer will end their lives forevermore. ( )

"Nevermore" obviously isn't meant to be a great novel. It's a tie-in book to the amazing, creative, and engaging show "Supernatural". This series is something that I like the idea of, being a Supernatural fan and an avid reader. Offer me more Sam and Dean anytime and I will take it with pleasure. But this book capitalizes on people like me and wasn't created out of some great creative spark of a passionate author, like many of the best books. It was sparked by corporations wanting to make another buck off a rare TV show that is actually doing well and has a loyal fanbase. That is something I unfortunately couldn't forget as I read "Nevermore". Now for the details: The plot regarding Edgar Allen Poe was pretty good. The solutions came far too easily for them and the scene where the brothers put the plot together seemed far too easy. I think the E.A. Poe storyline, however, would have been a fun as an episode. (kind of like the one about the serial killer H.H. Holmes). The author seemed to have the characters down pretty well. When Sam or Dean spoke (or smirked) I could see them doing that in my head. Only one part really didn't ring true and that was when Dean thought about how when he was a kid, he would throw rocks through locked car windows. Even with the explanation of why, I can't see Dean doing this. The dreams and the worries of the boys were infused with things from the episodes so that made a believable continuity between the book and the show. I was disappointed in the explanation and the resolution to the Poe storyline. It was too simple and far too un-supernatural. I thought the second story about the banshee haunting the band was far better. All in all the book was just ok. With the platform of a novel, there was tons of room to expand the story and really do it justice and instead it felt less put together than a one hour episode of the show. I'm not sorry I read the book, but I wouldn't have missed much if I hadn't. ( )
