5.0 out of 5 stars The Beginning of Trouble, January 10, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Kiss of Darkness (Mass Market Paperback)

Imagine your grandmother just passing away. Hard enough right? Well, for the Halliwell sisters, that was just the beginning of the trouble they have to face in the hit novel, Charmed- Kiss Of Darkness by Belinda Alexandra. These sisters, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe have just learned that they are witches with special powers, just like their ancestors. These 3 girls were the most powerful witches, destined to protecting the innocent people of the world and fighting the evil. It was hard to comprehend at first, but they slowly make it through. They saw a tarot booth and decided to get their tarot reading. That's when Prue finds out that she has the worst card in the deck, one the tarot reader has never pulled in a reading before. The reader said, trembling, " This card means darkness will surround you ".
The main characters are the three sisters, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe. Prue was the oldest sister, then Piper and Phoebe. As sisters, they were determined to stay together, as one, as the power of three.
In this novel, the author talks in the third narrative. She knows everything and pulls the story along. Her descriptions are very flowery, with so much creativity that you feel like your there experiencing it all. She also has a sophisticated vocabulary within the novel as well as using rhyming and alliterational techniques which helps the book tremendously.I like this book alot. I think that this book is perfectly written and it has alot of potential. The author gives very good details and also foreshadows occasionally, which makes you want to read on and on forever.
This book is geared more towards people who like fantasy and mystery books and witchcraft kind of books. Also, it is geared more towards teenagers because it is maturely written and younger children and adults probably wouldn't like the teenage sophistication that Constance M. Burge uses with writing these books. If you read this book, you should read the other Charmed titles and watch the hit series, Charmed!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Charmed Book I've Read So Far, August 8, 2001

This review is from: Kiss of Darkness (Mass Market Paperback)

At a New Years Eve party Prue gets the kiss of her life at midnight. After that she feels driven to kiss every guy she comes across, desperately trying to find the mysterious man who had kissed her with such passion. At first Phoebe and Piper aren't sure what to think about Prue's new lifestyle; even Prue doesn't understand what's happening to her, but for some odd reason she can't force herself to stop. It's like she needs to kiss men to keep her alive, but with every kiss she becomes weaker. It doesn't take Piper and Phoebe long to figure out that a warlock is behind Prue's strange behavior. But what kind of warlock would be obsessed with kissing? And why? Could it be someone they knew? Or was it someone they'd never met before? Prue is fading fast, proving that time is definitely not on their side. They have to save her before it's too late, but can they rescue her from the darkness that is threatening to surround her with only the Power of Two?

I absolutely loved this book! It's fast paced, has plenty of plot twists, and several interesting characters. While reading this book you'll find yourself trying to figure out who Prue's mysterious midnight phantom is. This Charmed book is definitely a keeper, and I can see myself reading it over and over again.
