4.0 out of 5 stars Demons Galore!!, February 3, 2006

This review is from: Demon Doppelgangers (Charmed) (Mass Market Paperback)

This Charmed book was truely unique. When i first read it i was really amazed at how well the author wrote the book. She followed each sister's life very closely so we weren't lost at all. In fact, the end was the absolute best!!! Piper was in the face of death when she realized the demon's weakest point and it was so cool how easily she killed him!! I could not believe the suspense i felt while reading this book! If you love Charmed, read THIS book!!

4.0 out of 5 stars 101 Ways to Die, April 9, 2006

By

This review is from: Demon Doppelgangers (Charmed) (Mass Market Paperback)

This Charmed book can be alternatively called, 101 Ways to Die. He writes very succintly, putting each and every event into nice, summarized fashion for the reader to read. Unlike Hurricane Hex, this book focuses on the demons, and a multiplying one at that.

The doppelganger in question duplicates himself each time he dies, and the method used to kill him becomes ineffective.

Throughout reading this book, I am suddenly enlightened by the many ways a person can undertake to kill himself. Drowning, jumping off a building, getting shot by a crossbow, getting hit by a shotgun, crashing his own van, ramming himself into a wall, blowing himself into bits, and also even being shot by a bazooka. This Charmed book approaches a new concept of a demon - a regenerative one. Kudos to Greg.

Also, I am most impressed with his creative flair. The spells used throughout the book are aplenty, and each one is written perfectly and wonderfully, with a balanced sense of alliteration, tone and rhyme. I am excellently thrilled with Greg's spells which left me satisfied each time I read one aloud.

Greg's storyline is flawed at times, with some parts of the storyline and detail falling short, but the characters like Darryl and Chase develop with excellence. I am also slightly disappointed with the lacklustre ending, but overall, the book was exciting and wonderfully entertaining.

I would buy more of Greg's books in the future (this being one of them), but I would like to advise him not to watch Final Destination while he is writing it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hydra Returns, January 29, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Demon Doppelgangers (Charmed) (Mass Market Paperback)

Hallelujah. It is about time one of the Charmed ones shows a little common sense. Paige runs into a tourist twice in a short time and suspects he will therefore become part of their lives and duties. She is right. Paige and the tourist both get jobs at the museum giving tours of a new Ancient Greece exhibit. But one item holds a deadly secret.

No sooner is the radar up that something is strange in the exhibit, than a demon is released and it possesses the tourist. But this is no ordinary demon. It likes to die. Every time it dies it doubles and gains an immunity to that form of destruction. While the Charmed ones are hunting the demon, Darryl and the rest of the force are swamped with violent crimes that all seen to involve the same guy even when several occur at once. Can they stop the demon before it destroys the world?

This one was pretty good but I felt Paige realized the immunity factor almost instinctively with almost no data. But other than that things seemed to work pretty well. The characters and their powers were handled better than in some and with good consistency. This one was about as wild as one of the novels can be allowed to be without it contradicting the show.
