prue is offered an opportunity to have her photo on the cover of 415 if she can come up with a perfect theme. she decides to use a greek theme and hire models and get props and when her assistant brings an old fashioned camera everything seems perfect. only when she snaps the picture all the models are unconscious and cannot be awakened. this leads the 3 sisters on a fabulous quest from that leads them to hades and about half of the greek mythology that us mythology buffs just love. if you like the mythology that is used in the tv show "zena" you will definitely love this book. it is first rate and i hope this author writes many more.

Prue's fantsatic job as photojournalist in a magazine called "415" offers her a deal in which she can prove that she is not just a mere good charmed one but also an awesome photojournalist too! She has got the idea to take her pictures at her home in San Francisco Halliwell Manor, the Victorian House she is currently living in with her sisters. Using an antique camera to get the senses of her models, Prue has no idea why her models collapsed in a death slumber. To save them all, they travelled to Hades, the place where spirits dwell temporarily but in one condition, the Charmed Ones are set to face ancient greek Gods where supernatural powers are quite amazing...This was one of my favorite Charmed Book! A must to all charmed fan

Prue's editor at 415 magazine offers her a challenge: if she takes a really fantatic photo he'll run it on the cover.This is Prue's big break-if she can come up with fabulous idea. Prue's gets and idea to shoot a group of models at the Halliwell Manor. She evens uses and antiqe camera for effect.

To rescue the missing models the must battle one of the greatest Greek gods- and one of the sisters may not be allowed to return to mortal life.

This is a great book and its not to be missed.
I give this 5 stars.

As far as I'm concerned, ALL other good Charmed books (The Queen's Curse, Whisper's from the past, Dark Vengeance, Mystic Knoll, Inherit the witch, Something Wiccan [just to name a few]) are small potatoes in comparison to this superbly penned Charmed book!!! NO other Charmed novel could possibly be better than Soul Of The Bride!!! Elizabeth's work here, is a masterpiece!!!!

What makes this story stand out from the other Charmed books is her impeccable blend of Greek Mythology and the Charmed ones tale aptly blended in. She mixed the two geneologies flawlessly, very well blended, I should add. Every single tiny detail added in is beneficial for the Charmed ones, and that's what stands out in this book. Alot! For example, the part where Piper takes a quick glance at Prue and realizes that she is still wearing Piper's necklace, makes Piper remember that she had to pay Charon the fee to take them over to the other side of River Acheron, which is taking the letter opener and mother-of-pearl inkwell, just in case. Turns out that the letter opener is useful in impaling the Sirens!!!

I'm not going to reveal details of the story, but I guarantee, whether or not you know about Greek Mythology, you will definitely enjoy this story. Soul Of The Bride is a must-have for all Charmed fans!!!!!! My fave bit is when Phoebe is determined not to give up and succumb to the tasty grub kept in Hades, only to realize they are tainted to make people an empty-headed party animal. Also, all 3 sisters had a vital part to play, and with their team work, girly (and sisterly) support, all the loose knots are tied, the i's are dotted and its a happy ending for them.

My only thumbs-down about this story is just that its seems like a pretty huge coincidence that Nikos had known about Prue's photo shoot and sent Mitchell to make sure Prue's topic is on Victorian Portraiture, using Greek Mythology, which then lures Phoebe to Hades. In the Charmed Universe, coincidence is extremely rare, unless Nikos had known it all along, and places a spell on the them to find out.


But other than that, it is 100% recommeded, you WILL love it, like I did!!!
I paid $9 for this book and every single cent was worth it!!!!

This one of the best Charmed books ever written. I loved the combination of Greek Mythology and Charmed. Unlike the 'Oh My Goddess' episodes, this book blends both genres together effortlessly. The writing is top-notch... it really pulls you into what's going on. I had a hard time putting this book down (finished it in a couple days.. even with work).

HIGHLY recommend this to Charmed fans. You won't be disappointed :).

I am a huge, HUGE fan of charmed, I love the series, but ANY OTHER BOOK PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE SOUL OF THE BRIDE!!! It follows the story of the power of three flawlessly!!! If you are interested in any kind of mythology, or even if you're not, the soul of the bride is a MUST-HAVE!!!!

i have read all the books in the charmed series and this is one of my favorites. it combines the greek mythologies with modern day life, which i think is quite creative. i highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys greek myths.

I give this 5 stars.

This is a great book! It is fairly up to date (It has pheobe's flying power), but stil no Leo. Prue got and assignment from her magazine (415)where she got to photograph the cover picture. Meanwhile, Pheobe is taking an art class where she meets her handsome class mate, Nico. Pheobe dissapears, and Piper gets to go to a very special place to help save her!
