SynopsisThe story takes place in the fictional town of Point Bless, Virginia during the fall and winter of 1995. It centers upon two characters, a 23-year-old European young man referred to only as "A." and a 16-year-old mute Irish girl named Niamh, who have traveled to Point Bless upon inheriting a rumoredly haunted mansion from Ambrose Wells, a distant cousin of A., who died in the house after throwing himself out of a third story window. Soon after they move in the two begin to experience paranormal phenomena, while their research on the deceased relative's life hints to a secret society that would hold a yearly gathering at Wells' home. ReceptionCritical reception for The Supernatural Enhancements has been largely positive.[3][4][5][6] The Press & Journal and Buffalo News both wrote favorable reviews for the work, with The Press & Journal writing that "The style won’t be to everyone’s taste, but it is refreshingly original, drawing the reader into A and Niamh’s world as they uncover the disturbing secrets that lie hidden within the sprawling mansion."[7][8] GeekDad compared the book favorably to J. J. Abrams's S. and stated that it was "eerie and fun and full of surprises."[9] Publishers Weekly was more critical in their review, opining that "The merging of the otherworldly and the mundane, however, breaks down when a long explanation of a secret society’s aims and history overwhelms the plot and paves the way to a deus ex machina conclusion."[10]References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Deahl|first1=Rachel|title=Book Deals: Week of March 4, 2013|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/book-deals/article/56186-book-deals-week-of-march-4-2013.html|publisher=Publishers Weekly|accessdate=21 May 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Krmpotic|first=Milo|title=El factor sobrenatural, Edgar Cantero|url=http://www.librujula.com/criticas/743-edgar-cantero-el-factor-sobrenatural|publisher=Librújula|accessdate=14 Jul 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Russell|first1=Vinca|title=The Supernatural Enhancements by Edgar Cantero (book review).|url=http://sfcrowsnest.org.uk/the-supernatural-enhancements-by-edgar-cantero-book-review/|publisher=SF Crowsnest|accessdate=21 May 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=The Supernatural Enhancements (review)|url=http://bookverdict.com/details.xqy?uri=Product2014-07-01-1588761.xml|publisher=Library Journal|accessdate=21 May 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=The Supernatural Enhancements (review)|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/edgar-cantero/supernatural-enhancements/|publisher=Kirkus Reviews|accessdate=21 May 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=The Supernatural Enhancements (review)|url=http://www.booklistonline.com/ProductInfo.aspx?pid=6831986&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1|publisher=Booklist|accessdate=21 May 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Book review: The Supernatural Enhancements by Edgar Cantero|url=https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/books-reviews/315114/book-review-supernatural-enhancements-edgar-cantero-2/|publisher=The Press & Journal|accessdate=21 May 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Murphy|first1=Dan|title=Edgar Cantero ‘Supernatural Enhancements’|url=http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/edgar-cantero-supernatural-enhancements-20140831|publisher=Buffalo News|accessdate=21 May 2015}} 9. ^{{cite web|last1=Kelly|first1=James Floyd|title=A TL;DR Book Review —Supernatural Enhancements|url=http://geekdad.com/2014/12/supernatural-enhancements/|publisher=Geek Dad|accessdate=21 May 2015}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=The Supernatural Enhancements (review)|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-385-53815-2|publisher=Publishers Weekly|accessdate=21 May 2015}} External links
