Product Description:
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 set out on a road trip to the Grand Canyon, but this is no vacation for the brothers. On a stretch of deserted ranchland just beyond the canyon's stunning vistas, mysterious murder sprees have occurred every forty years. The area's inhabitants have been few and far between in years past, but a nearby mega-mall is about to celebrate its grand opening—and attract thousands of fresh victims.
The Winchester boys are determined to protect locals and shoppers alike, but they never anticipated they'd be fighting a group of killers this vicious, this vindictive, this . . . dead. A deadly horde of animal spirits and human ghosts has arisen to terrorize this tiny corner of the Arizona desert. If Sam and Dean can't figure out why, the wide-open spaces of the West will once again become a desolate frontier . . . and the witch's canyon will be the brothers' final resting place.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Way better than Nevermore
Okay, I can see the split happening here. Nevermore fans hate this book and vice versa. I'm a Witch's Canyon fan for a few reasons. Put simply:
Mariotte knows the nuances that make the show work. He can handle English flawlessly while creating a story and script you can see the actors do and hear them say. His side characters are real people (there are women in this book that are actually realistic, something I can't say for any of the women in Nevermore and considering that probably 80% of the fans are chicks, me included, this matters), the plot is interesting and well-crafted. Any new things he makes up for the book fit in with the show mythology without clashing, unlike the other guy. Witch's Canyon reads like a long episode.
For those that don't care about nuances and subtlety and only want a story with monsters, I can see Nevermore being preferred but for anyone who wants more of the show itself and cares if the book is true to the characters and mythology of the show, avoid Nevermore and read Witch's Canyon.
Rating:  - Disclaimer: Don't read while babysitting!
I was very, very cautious when purchasing this book. I felted aboslutely betrayed by Nevermore and was not too trusting with this book.
Boy am I glad that I got it! It felt like I was a bystander inside one of the Brother's weekly horror movies. I rarely get scared when reading books anymore amd while I was up late babysitting- I got the heebie-jeebees!
The ghosts scared me and when the widow was locked in the house my heart was actually racing for her! I totally recommend this book for the Supernatural fan, or anyone else!
Rating:  - Author needs to do more research!
Reading this book, I get the definite feeling that the author needed to actually watch the tv show Supernatural. The story was a little labored and Dean and Sam Winchester, didn't really come across as Dean and Sam. Anyone that has watched Supernatural will understand that statement. For my money, "Nevermore" by Keith DeCandido was just like watching an episode of Supernatural. He really got in the heads of Dean and Sam and that came across in his storytelling!
Rating: - Great Read
I thought that Witches Canyon was better than Nevermore, like alot of other reviews I see posted here. It captured the series much better with the whole supernatural theme. The main bad guy in Nevermore was a living breathing human. I finished the book because I had nothing better to do at the time. I'm looking forward to other Supernatural books if they are as good as this one.
Rating: - Most importantly it feels like Supernatural
If you want a book that has the characters you love, some well-written new ones, action, horror, and suspense, this is your book.
