Picture Perfect
A face revealed, and rage unleashed ---
old anger set upon the world.
Three sisters must come together to fight
or worse fates will surely be
unfurled...
I know. I know. It's a September 27th, 2005, release, but I just finished reading it. You can blame school and nothing more. But let's get to my review.
This is a terrible Phoebe centric book that mirrors the season two episode The Painted World. The demon of the minute is some how connected to a painting, a painting that he's been trapped in for years. And when he finally escapes from the painting, he takes centerstage in The Charmed Ones' lives as a Hannible Lector type of fellow. And to top it off, Leo's not involved...at all. There is no mention of the loving father. And the only parts that are worth your time are Bay Mirror, P3 and Wyatt. So bottomline, this book doesn't have an arc worth reading.
But what can I say? I'm a Charmed fan and if this is the only way I can get new Charmed from now on, then bring it on. All of it on. The worse and the best.

I haven't read it, but thanks for the heads up.
I read it. It wasn't like Beware What You Wish, Dark Vengence or The Brewing Storm, but I didn't think it was the worse Charmed book. I think that the worse Charmed book is Date With Death. Now, that's a terrible book.
OMG! Date With Death was a horrible book. Just horrible. I'm so glad that there is someone else who thinks that because on one of my other message boards someone actually enjoyed it. Ick.
I haven't read Date with Death, but I have heard the hating reviews. And now I'm glad I took their advice. Because if you hate it Rudy, then it definitely is not worth anyone's time because you usually take any type of Charmed.
As for the Picture Perfect book, I did think it was too bad. It's demon plot seemed drawn out so much that they ended up rushing things in the end, and even the good parts that you mention were few and far between.
* Einstein Wyatt. lol.
What's Einstein Wyatt mean? Am I going to have to read the book to know what you mean? Or can you save me the trouble?
