Book Description

Series: Charmed | Publication Date: August 28, 2007

The Power of Three has gone

underground

Clues and magic can't be found

Grown-up sons, come quickly forth

Help your father find his worth

While a newly mortal Leo is out for a walk with Wyatt and newborn Chris, demons trap the Charmed Ones in the house and take them to the Underworld, where they are imprisoned by demon scientist Dr. Gnivik, who plans to steal the Power of Three. When Leo returns to find the house empty and in even more disarray than when he had left, he tries to piece together what happened, but can't. Due to his recent fall from grace, the Elders ignore his calls. What is he to do? With no other options and no magic of his own, Leo becomes desperate.

Using a spell from the Book of Shadows, his sons' magic, and a sliver of unicorn horn, he calls the future versions of Wyatt and Chris back to the present. Together, the Halliwell men go in search of The Charmed Ones. With Dr. Gnivik nearing success and the sisters powerless to stop him, it's up to Leo and the boys to save the day....

4.0 out of 5 stars surprising delight for Charmed fans, March 17, 2008

This review is from: Leo Rising (Charmed) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read my fair share of spin-off novels in order to get an extra taste of a favorite movie or TV series. You take them with a grain of salt, knowing that they won't exactly be Shakespeare or even up to par with the original work. So, imagine my delight when I picked up this book (the first I've read of the Charmed series), and discovered a very well-written novel that is incredibly faithful to the canon (most delicate of all being the characters and the Charmed universe). Leo (my favorite character) is newly mortal and dealing with Piper's over-protection, when the sisters are kidnapped by a mad scientist. Leo summons his adult sons from the future to help him unravel the mystery and rescue the Charmed Ones. It's a story with enough character and mystery that it could easily have been a strong episode of the series. It could have used more drama and play between Leo, his sons, and Piper. But still, an excellent spin-off. Grade: A-

I have read all the Charmed books and have seen the episodes many times. I love the books because it still keeps the characters alive even though the tv series is done. I just love to read this book over to pick up on anything I didn't see when I read it before and it is quite funny a little bit when Older Wyatt and Chris come into the book.
