"Witch's Canyon" is the 2nd novel based on the tv show "Supernatural". This story has Sam and Dean visiting the Grand Canyon. One of the nearby canyon towns has a paranormal problem- natch, this is Supernatural! Every forty years, the town has a huge murder spree that can't be explained. There are a variety of killers, murder weapons, and sites with little in common. Sam and Dean get to town just as the "forty year" begins. They want to find out the problem and take care of it as quickly as possible. When they learn of the "Grand Opening" for a brand new town mall, that will attract many out-of-towners, the Winchesters charge into overdrive. This book hits where the first one, "Nevermore" misses and misses where "Nevermore" scored a bullseye. I'll explain: "Nevermore" has the Dean/Sam dialogue down almost perfectly. I could picture the boys in my head actually saying the line in the book. In "Witch's Canyon" we miss a lot of dialogue altogether. There is none of that sarcastic, trademark "Winchester Brothers" humor. However the plot is much better in this book. The story is straightforward and exciting. The pieces add up to a good puzzle and the wrap up isn't bad either. The story has several good supporting characters and a nicely laid out back story. I thought "Nevermore" had too many side plots and the main plot was buried. The ending of that once was also a bit of a letdown. I enjoyed this book more than "Nevermore" but it could easily have been starring any set of random brothers, rather than Sam and Dean Winchester. ( )
