Wish I liked it; an English family goes around saving people and hunting things—more of the latter than the former, really. Unfortunately they were all flip and blasé from the get-go, and largely hateful to each other, and I felt I was being told more than shown that actually they really loved each other. But if you miss SPN and do enjoy families being mean to each other because they know each other really well, then there’s demons, ghosts, and a family business that rubs up against the apocalypse when they go to try to clean out a church on a very odd island. And the reason the horrible mom is horrible is actually quite understandable, even if you don’t feel inclined to excuse her. ( )

The Rook family is a real olio of characters! I'm not even going to try to summarize or hit the high points because I am so LOL,LMFAO and that's the biggest takeaway from reading this hilarity. Absolutely fantastic fun!
