I didn't find any other indication as to when the story takes place. The story takes place sometime in the beginning of Season Five, after Sam has broken the final seal releasing Lucifer from hell but before Castiel loses hope in God. Warning: spoilers about both the book and the show's Season 5 ahead! As you all well know, books allow for the author to share information with the reader that can't be shared though the media of television, however amazing its team is. While one doesn't need to read this book to get any vital information about the series, I strongly recommend it to those of you who like plunging into the psychoanalysis of the Winchester brothers and that of everyone's favorite angel in a trench coat, i.e. It starts as a monster-of-the-week but quickly ties in with the overarching Supernatural mythology. The latest book installment is Supernatural: The Unholy Cause.

And so it probably comes to no surprise that reading tie-ins to my favorite shows takes up a good part of my summer reading time. I still think that reading is the best way of spending one's summer (especially when there is a nice tree involved) and so I like to spend my hiatus reading.

Some fans manage to find things to distract them, rediscovering old classics like books, board games and life in general (remember that, guys?). Some fans take to screencapping all episodes with such minutia that flipping through them fast enough makes it feel like one is watching said episode (Jess, I just might be talking about you). As all Supernatural fans know (or as all fans of any TV show, for that matter), hiatuses can be quite difficult to get through, especially when Kripke is at the helm and cliffhangers are regular occurrences.
