Product Description

Phoebe Halliwell may be ready to turn over a new leaf as a single gal, but her newly redemonized ex-husband, Cole, isn't ready to let her go. Aware of a supernatural plot against the Charmed Ones, Cole keeps watch over Phoebe, and intercedes at the moment of battle, only to accidentally create a rip in time. Cole disappears to WWII-era Hollywood -- and brings the sisters with him!

While the Charmed Ones are no strangers to extreme circumstances, what they didn't anticipate was a demonic stronghold shaking down local businesses. To infiltrate the evil underground, Paige poses as a young starlet, working an entirely different kind of magic before the camera. Meanwhile, Piper is tempted to seek out Leo -- in this world, he's still human -- and Phoebe is at her wits' end contending with Cole. But a demon henchman is working the black magic mojo on Paige, and if the sisters don't focus, before long they'll find themselves completely out of luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars an ok book, March 15, 2004

By	tammy (chicago, il United States) - See all my reviews

cole is trying his best to win phoebe's trust and love back. but when they go up against some luck demons, the charmed ones plus cole find themselves overwhelmed and thrust back into the year 1942. with the knowledge of his demon half, cole helps the sisters learn how to cope 60 years in the past.

paige finds a job at a movie studio, filling in for the lady who just left who just happens to look just like paige. but the evil they thought they left in the 21st century has set up shop and if they charmed ones are not careful, they will have bigger problems than they can imagine.

the book had lots of historical references in it, but not enough believable action. overall it was an ok book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Witch In Time, January 30, 2004

By	Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I'm not really sure what to make of this one. The Charmed Ones go up against some luck demons and fid themselves transported back in time to LA. This is supposed to be bad luck but is actually good.

The sisters and a powerless Cole are stuck in the past. To help find a way back, they become involved in film making and organized crime. Paige manages to double for an actress who looks just like her and is apparently an ancestor of her adopted parents (this is never developed).

Eventually the Charmed Ones must take on some more luck demons and try and save the future as they know it.

The resolution is a little odd and make no sense (how Cole defeats the demons' abilities, that is). But, as this is not the TV show, we know they must all survive and return to the present.

When I finished reading this one, I just had to think, what's the point? I had thought the discovery of an ancestor that looked like one of the Charmed Ones and how it could be would play a major part but it was just left unexplained. Oh, well, I am sure many fans will like it.

A Kid's Review

although i dont think this is the best charmed it's definatly up there at the top it's considerably more up to date with whats been going on with the tv series, with cole and pheobe split up. plus this book is set mainly in a different time so it adds to the uniqueness i cant wait to read the new book of three it looks to be great! overall this is a great book but if you havent read the other books it might be confusing
