DATE WITH DEATH

Take this soul, who seeks revenge
Bind him from his cruel intent
With this spark, consign his soul
To the haze of his own hell

As Piper and Leo contemplate parenthood, and Phoebe and Cole enjoy their engagement, Paige is feeling more of a push to find a significant other. In a moment of whimsy, she signs up for an online dating service. Needless to say, she soon finds herself flooded with eager responses. Almost every night she embarks on a new date that seems to lead nowhere -- despite the fact that Paige has a perfectly good time when she's out.

Or does she? Before long the sisters discover that Paige spends her "dates" in a catatonic trance -- she hasn't actually gone anywhere! Soon afterward her suitors are discovered to have committed evil acts. Paige is acting as a conduit for dark powers -- and soon she is projecting her energies onto her sisters. Will Piper and Phoebe be able to save her using only the Power of Two?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Addition to the Charmed Series, December 17, 2003

With Phoebe and Cole planning their wedding, and Piper and Leo planning a family, Paige is feeling left out and lonely. She feels that it's finally time for her to find a significant other that will fit her and her life perfectly. So, on a whim, Paige signs up for Kiss.com, an online dating service, and soon she is flooded with responses from eager guys from all over San Francisco. But, soon Paige begins to realize that even though she's going out, each date leads absolutely nowhere. Soon Phoebe and Piper realize that Paige isn't actually going "out" on dates, but, rather spending her evenings in a catatonic trance. Soon Paige's "dates" begin committing evil acts, as does Paige, only her evil acts are aimed at her sisters. Now Piper and Phoebe have to try to stop her using only the Power of Two.

This is only the third CHARMED book that I've read, and I'm not disappointed. I find Paige's chracter to be a shining star in the series, as Phoebe and Piper have become so lovey-dovey with their significant others. Paige's character features sarcastic, yet fun, dialogue that fans of early-day Phoebe will relish in. A must-have book for all CHARMED fans.

After reading this novel, I can say again how glad I am to be a Charmed fan! Again Constance Burge delivers an incredible story, while at the same time keeping all the characters true to their series performances. If you're a fan of Charmed, you'd be well off to make this addition to your Charmed Collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars an internet dating service oh joy, September 16, 2002

when paige starts to fill depressed because she does not have
a boyfriend, someone suggests she try out a new online dating
service. she figures she has nothing to lose and soon she has
enough dates for a month. but evey date she goes on, she finds the guys boring. after a string of murders, the charmed sisters
find that there may be a connection between the dating service
and the murders and set off to get to the bottom of the mystery.
this book was okay but without prue in it, charmed has just not
been the same. paige is just too shallow to fill the void and
i wish that shannon doherty would come back to the show.
