Supernatural ~ Fresh Meat


Aaaaahhhh.. To have spent the night in an adventure with the Winchester brothers *smiles dreamily*

This is the final Supernatural book I have in hand which I haven't read yet. I bought it last year but saved it as I didn't want to not have any more of their books in my TBR list. However, this year I just HAD to read as the book has been calling and calling to me for the last few weeks anyway J

This time, in addition to the brothers, Bobby makes an appearance and stays throughout the book. I've always missed Bobby in the series after he died so this was a nice surprise.

The brothers, as usual, had just finished a particular hunt for an avenging ghost when Sam found some suspicious missing person on the web (while Dean, of course, was stuffing his face!). The concluded that it might be a wendigo and decided to ask Bobby for help as they trust his tracking instincts more than anyone.

Thier first bruh with the wendigo did not go that well, so they went to the local hunters bar and found, Jason, who has a brush with the wendigo earlier and was mad that he failed to catch it. Together, they ventured again into the woods to catch in.. with success!

After parting ways and already planning on another hunt, they got a call from Bobby that people were still missing. Returning to the 'crime scene', they soon realized they were facing something more sinister, a creature from the Filipino lore, an aswang.

I actually Googled aswang and wendigo haha..

Anyhow, of course la they save the day hehe.. but its the way we get to the end that matters, right!

I had somehow unintentionally read a few words towards the end, shattering me of any suspense.. or so I thought. True as its usual self, the book gave enough twists and turns to make me question what I had just read. I kept planning on 'one more chapter'.. without any avail, that is..

The middle part was quite intense as Dean was involved in a bad avalanche.. or make that avalanches! I like that we could actually feel as if we're in his place. At the same time, Sam and Bobby, in trying to ascend a steep cliff, were attacked by vampires who were determined to kill them there and then.

I'm giving it 4.25 stars coz I love it even if I love Carved in Flesh better. I just hope I'd get my hand on more Supernatural books soon!
