"Dean ended up with an obscenely expensive ten-pound bag fancy gourmet salt crystals that were infused with truffle essence or some nonsense. He almost felt bad for the local restaurant he'd conned the supplier into charging for the salt, but he was sure the next demon he shot with the stuff would appreciate the 'complex, earthy aroma and crisp mineral profile."

....is there a need to point out that this stranger we are about to meet is not wearing a bra?

"Once outside the CBP's air-conditioned cocoon, Dean trudged across the vast parking lot with his head down, feeling like an ant crossing a frying pan. He was sure the thin soles of his dress shoes were going to catch fire before he made it to the Impala. When he got there, the Impala's door handle was almost too hot to touch."

"Dean found it difficult to trust anyone, even his own family, and it was astoundingly rare for him to meet a normal person as honest and open-minded as De La Paz."

"'I love strange,' Dean said, his interest renewed."

"he could feel a mounting frustration making him antsy, impatient. He'd always hated this kind of research. Sam was the librarian in the family. Dean much would rather be duking it out with demons than shuffling through old paperwork."

Calling the records room "the graveyard" and not having the staff or funding to digitize all of it is so real.

"Dean waited, feeling that hot excitement building inside him again. he had a feeling he was moving in on their prey."

"Dean tried to no-sell his surprise but he was pretty sure his jaw was in his lap."

"'You're carrying a hell of a lot of scar tissue for someone as young as you are...but we all get calloused on account of things we've seen on the job. Things we've done. Things the people we protect could never understand. Those things have made you cynical, but deep in your heart you still believe in justice.'"
