With this, I expected the clichéd supernatural type story or a bad version of the TV show Supernatural (which is one of my favourite shows)
At first, I struggled sightly in understanding the characters' dialect but after 50 or so pages, I had no issues with it.
There were, of course, elements in this book that I was already aware of thanks to rewatching SPN many times. So, in that sense, the functionality of defeating the "bad guys" wasn't necessarily anything new but that's something that is pretty universal in the supernatural world.
What did impress me is a book set somewhere I haven't experienced before with a culture I know very little about and even a creature that I wasn't aware of.
The bond between Alister and James gave me Sam and Dean vibes, which I'm definitely here for and all of the characters brought something to the table.
The story itself I really enjoyed and I look forward to reading more of these books.
