This review is from: Haunted by Desire (Mass Market Paperback)

Phoebe thinks taking a class on hauntings and mysterious events in San Francisco will enable her to test her powers and earn some college credits in the process. Her enthusiasm is slightly dampened when she is forced to work on a project with Brett, an egotistical and arrogant guy whose ex-girlfriend, Wendy, thinks Phoebe is making the moves on him. In the meantime, Piper and Prue are fighting over Dylan Thomas, a cute guy who is performing at P3 with his band. Phoebe has never seen her sisters acting like this, and wonders if there's more to Dylan than meets the eye. But all she's concerned about is getting her sisters to cooperate so that they can help her uncover the truth behind the legendary "Halloween Murders" that occured in 1958 on the campus. Halloween is approaching, and words has it that the ghosts of the victims are haunting the campus. Phoebe thinks if she uncovers the truth behind the events that happened in 1958, the ghosts will be able to rest in peace. So she determines to find out the truth. The ending to the book was not really what I was expecting, but it was rather touching. I'd highly reccomend this book to Charmed fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars The real story, July 21, 2004

This review is from: Haunted by Desire (Mass Market Paperback)

Ignore the publisher's book description. I don't think the person who wrote it actually read the book. Instead, it should read something like this : Determined to succeed in a college course about the supernatural, Phoebe volunteers to research the grisly murders of three college students killed on Halloween, 1958. The ghost of one of the students urges her to re-create the crime to uncover the truth. Phoebe agrees. Surely the Power of Three can reveal the real culprit... But Prue and Piper are preoccupied, competing for the love of the same man. Unfortunately, the object of their affection is a warlock who has used a spell to divide and conquer the sisters. With Prue and Piper at each other's throats, and Phoebe on her own, all three sisters are vulnerable...

If you like Charmed, the show, you will love this book. I have read every charmed book besides the 2 new one's and this one was my favorite. Phoebe is doing a school project and she runs into ghosts that spirits haven't Rest In Peace yet. Phoebe has to figure out how to stop them before she and her partner are killed at the halloween party at college. The ghost that will kill them believe that they are his ex-girlfriend and friend. Really good book and I love it!
