The Supernatural Novels

Are they any good?

I never really thought to pick one up before, but since I'm doing a rewatch, I was thinking I could read them as I rewatch. I read all the XFiles novels back in the day and the Primeval novels were action-packed. But I never read fan fiction for those shows.

So now that my Kindle is finally working again, is it worth buying any of them, or would I be better off just downloading more fanfic off A03? Are some much better than others? Do they really fit into canon? If they're even half decent I'll likely give them a go.

Thoughts welcome from anyone who has read them and has any opinion on them. No spoilers though, please. :D

They're very good, in fact, the more recent ones have been extremely good.

But my advice is to avoid the ones by Keith DeCandido. He's an arrogant ass who claims to be a true fan of the show, yet consistently gets the characterizations of the boys totally wrong. He even gets simple things like their eye color wrong and used cringe-worthy nicknames for Dean. Ugh. I could go on and on, but that's just my 2 cents.

All the other novels by other authors are quite good. :)
