High Spirits

wife loves the charmed series that was on TV and now DVD so she loves these books also.

After vanquishing an illusion demon, the three Charmed ones find themselves invited to Hollywood by one of Paige's friends. He has just sold a screenplay and used the money to buy an old mansion. The mansion is affordable as it appears to be haunted. No one has stayed more than three days previously. Paige's friend has prepared a huge party for his friends and it is not long before the ghost shows itself. The ghost was an actor at the top of his game until he disappeared in the twenties. From first appearances he seems to be quite friendly and just looking for an audience to entertain. But is that all that is going on? While the house may be haunted by a friendly ghost, there are also other powers at play. Mortals, witches, demons and even the house itself have some part to play in what is going on. Eventually danger rears its ugly head and it is up to the Charmed Ones to use their powers to put things right and protect the innocents. But can even they prevail against the forces rallied against them? As this is a book based on the series the main characters will survive but that doesn't guarantee anything about the new characters. You will have to read it to find out. Coming shortly after the author's LIGHT OF THE WORLD this book does not suffer from any apparent rush in production. For the most part the story is tight and well done. There is one character how shows up at one point without an explanation of how they got there but it is not impossible. All in all I found this to be one of the better Charmed books. If you like the series you should enjoy this book. Check it out.
