Charmed #19
Spiegelbeeld
Spiegeltje, spiegeltje aan de wand,
gedoemd is zij ten onder te gaan.
Als mist en nevel reis ik rond,
zo ik wil, zal deze band voortbestaan.
Phoebe Halliwell is stomverbaasd als haar laatste visioen over haar jongere halfzusje Paige gaat. Ze ontdekt dat Paige eigenlijk een bedriegster is die in de Macht van Drie is geïnfiltreerd en deze wil breken. Piper wuift echter Phoebes bezwaren weg en zodanig dat Cole en Leo gedwongen zijn om ook een kant kiezen. Al snel is de spanning in huis te snijden.
Paige merkt wel dat haar zusjes raar tegen haar doen, dus als ze Timothy McBride ontmoet, een aantrekkelijke jongeman die beweert een heks te zijn, besluit ze hen dat niet te vertellen. Ze wil iets voor zichzelf hebben, iets wat niets te maken heeft met haar Magische plichten. Geheimen zorgen ervoor dat de zusjes van elkaar vervreemden; en dat nog wel in een tijd dat overal in de stad de lichamen worden gevonden van vrouwen, die door bovennatuurlijke oorzaken gestorven zijn. Wellicht heeft de dader iets te maken met het verleden van de zusjes maar als ze niet kunnen samenwerken, kunnen ze hem dan wel tegenhouden?

This particular Charmed entry has a lot going for it that makes it a very nice read for fans of the show. It begins rather darkly, almost atypically, with an atmospheric murder in the San Francisco fog which is very well written. Others are described just as atmospherically as the narrative goes along, adding a touch of depth to a series mostly read as a light and nostalgic book for entertainment purposes.
San Francisco gets more page time as the backdrop to the magical adventures of our favorite three sisters in this one than is often the case, and that’s a big plus. Also a plus is we get sections featuring Darryl, one of the nice male characters from the show that is missed by this reader. He’s involved in a task force set up to catch the “Wet Killer” but realizes early on that they may be dealing with someone more up the alley of our Charmed Ones than the San Francisco Police Department, or the FBI, who will be taking over the investigation if the killer can’t be stopped.
Another big plus is Cole has some involvement here. Another great character that’s missed, he often doesn’t get a lot of page time in the entries I’ve read so far. Leo gets some page time, of course, and that’s good as always. The other good thing is there’s a pretty good story in this one, involving some crafty deception which tests the loyalty of the sisters to one another by calling into question the newest Charmed One, Paige. Phoebe has a vision — or is it a dream? — that leads her to the attic, where she discovers an old letter from a distant Halliwell aunt, Agnes, warning of a new arrival to the power of three who will betray them. Could it be Paige?
As you can imagine, this causes suspicion and distrust between Phoebe and Paige (Paige does not know of the letter), but also friction between Piper and Leo on one side, and Cole and Phoebe on the other, as Piper dismisses the letter but Phoebe is not so sure. But why are they so quick to anger, and so unwilling to talk it out? As they try to research their distant relative, and figure it all out, Leo gets a bad vibe off one of Darryl’s crime scenes. It eventually comes to pass that what’s happening now, may have something to do with a horrific killing spree in San Francisco’s distant past. Aunt Agnes eventually stopped an imposter named Timothy dead in his tracks way back when. But wait, isn’t that guy sowing seeds of distrust between Paige and her family named Timothy?
This one feels more fleshed out than some entries, and it’s not just exclusively the sisters — though don’t worry, there’s plenty of Piper, Phoebe and Paige too. There’s a very good ending to this one, and the aftermath is a nice wrap-up. This is a very good entry, with a bit of grit to balance out the fluff. Highly recommended.

A mysterious mist envelops the city. Bodies of women are found.
Phoebe and Piper find a letter from an old and distant relative who claims their sister Paige is an imposter. They don’t want to believe it at first. But they don’t want to ignore this warning either. So there’s some friction between the two sisters on how to handle this.
Paige meanwhile meets someone and keeps him a secret from her sisters for the time being. And her keeping secrets of course makes her seem even more suspicious.
It’s a solid nostalgic read, set in the time when Paige was new to the whole witchcraft thing and still trying to find her place living together with her sisters. It’s fun for what it is, it’s an entertaining media tie-in read that is executed well and fits in the Charmed universe. Though it’s not something you need to go out of your way for, as the concept of this story has been done many times before in the series.

I personally find Mirror Image one of the less original Charmed books I’ve read. The premise is the following. Some crazy mist arrives in town, and with it comes a force most terrifying. It evades the Charmed Ones in their dreams, leading Phoebe to having a vision while in a dream-like state. Said vision involves an old armoire stationed on the attic, and something evil pouring from it. Upon awakening, Phoebe and Cole head to the attic, find the armoire and discover an old, hidden letter behind it. The letter was written by one of the Halliwell ancestors, who warms them about a traitor in their midsts, in the shape of a fake sister betraying their trust.
Phoebe discusses this with Piper, who immediately turns her down. Piper trusts Paige, and she’s not planning on ruining the rocky bonds of sisterhood they only just formed over some stupid letter Phoebe found. Because of her sister’s immediate no, Phoebe gets more and more worked up about these events, and she starts to trust Paige less and less.
Meanwhile, the third sister is not entirely oblivious to the obvious quarrel between her two older sisters, but she’s determined not to intervene, mainly because she has no clue what it’s about. Until she begins suspecting it might be about her, and all those self-doubts she long cherished rise back to the surface. Luckily, Paige meets a very charming, interesting and funny guy named Timothy McBride. He’s a witch as well, and knows a bit about the Charmed Ones. Although that might be alarming, Paige chooses not to acknowledge it mostly because she finally thinks she’s met Mr. Right. Unfortunately for Paige and her two sisters, that might not be the case. With a series of unsolved murders, the discovery of an old and abandoned house with more than a dozen skeletons in the basement, the Charmed Ones will need all the help they can get to get rid of this ancient evil. Including the help of one of their ancestors, the same one who wrote the letter warning them about Paige…
The premise might be interesting, but the story is really, really predictable. It seems to have come right out of some cheap romance novel, the writing is messy, the characterization could use some work (especially Phoebe is totally out of character) and I missed the intense action and humorous undertone I usually find in other Charmed books. Plus, in my opinion the plot of ‘one sister having a secret boyfriend who turns out to be one of the bad guys’ has been done over and over again. It was interesting once, but it got boring fast and it’s tremendously boring right now. Additionally, I have to mention that the Law of No Coincedences is ignored all through-out this novel.
As you probably already gathered, I’m not a huge fan of this book. I think the plotline is overused, unoriginal and drop-dead boring at times. The sisters are occassionally out-of-character, I miss the humor I usually encounter in other Charmed books and in the series itself, and the entire story is predictable. I don’t recommend this book to anyone except maybe for Charmed fans who still enjoy the ‘secret boyfriend’ plotline for some reason, or people who just want to make sure they’ve read the entire series. I don’t regret reading this book, but it does come close. The only reason why it does get two stars, is because I found the storyline of murders happening one hundred years ago linked with present-day events remotely interesting. The rest, not so much. Read at your own risk.

The doubts Phoebe had about Paige made this book quite stupid and unheard. Especially because I try to compare that what I remember of the series with these books. The series is better.

For fans of the show this was a great read. So much fun and really captured the essence of the tv show!

This is most certainly one of the best Charmed books I’ve read so far, and I decided to read it at the perfect time. I was staying in a cabin for a week and was enjoying this Charmed book immensely. I was about halfway through and dinner was almost done so I decided to turn on the satellite TV just to see what was on. I couldn’t of timed it better! An early episode of Charmed was on! Before now I had never seen the TV show, but enjoyed the books just the same.
The episode that was on was an early one with Prue. It must have been from the first season because they all seemed to be trying to get the hang of the whole, being witches thing. Now I know how they act in the TV show so I could understand and imagine their reactions to everything that went on in this book.
There was a lot going on in this Charmed. A strange man is going around San Francisco, killing woman. The police can’t find any connections between the murder victims, the killer seems to be randomly picking women. The ‘Wet Killer’ is leaving behind no traces of himself or his weapon that the police could track him down by.
We get read parts of the story from Darryl Morris’ view. He’s a police officer and friend of the sisters, who I’ve never heard of before now. It was really interesting to read part of it from his point of view, as the police try to figure out who this murderer is.
Meanwhile the sisters are having problems of their own. Phoebe has a weird vision like dream which leads her to a letter from a long dead Halliwell aunt of theirs. The letter warns of a new sister who will infiltrate the power of three and betray them. This worries Phoebe, who immediately thinks it’s their ‘new’ sister Paige. Piper strongly disagrees, causing tension between all three sisters and their significant others, Leo and Cole.
No one will tell Paige what Piper and Phoebe are fighting over. All this tension at home leads Paige to Timothy. She starts to fall for him as he helps her figure out what’s going on between Piper and Phoebe.
Leo and Cole get more page time in this one. Leo gets a weird vibe from one of Darryl’s crime scenes, a scene that discovers bones from a large murder scene about a hundred years ago. Leo, Piper, Cole and Phoebe begin to suspect that something supernatural is going on in the foggy streets of San Francisco, and that these two murder filled events could be connected.
It was nice to have more characters involved in this one, with many more points of views. Seeing the police aspect was different and enjoyable. I liked how the story is centred around San Francisco, a city I don’t know much about. This book really felt like it could be an actual episode. It had the perfect balance of characters, mystery, supernatural, and deception.

Tanto éste libro como "Entre dos mundos" los leí hace tiempo y me gustaron mucho a pesar de que no son la gran cosa y no están muy bien escritos, pero Charmed es una de mis series favoritas de todos los tiempos asi que fue genial leer estos libros.

I didn't realize Charmed had a book series like Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Be still my late 90s/early 00s heart. My library only has a few, so I started with this one. It was just like reading an episode of the show, and had a pretty good supernatural mystery. 3.5/5
July 16, 2025
Rounded up to three stars.
Still around Season 4.
I'm not even sure which plot would be the one with the most priority but the more interesting aspect of Mirror Image...doesn't involve The Charmed Ones at all.
Women are being murdered around San Francisco with slashed throats and wet handprints on the collars of their clothes but no fingerprints. Detective Darryl Morris is on the task force to find the killer among the SFPD before the FBI is brought in. Besides that, a mass grave of bodies over a hundred years old are found in the flooded basement of an old apartment building.
Who is Darryl going to ask for help?
We learn early in the book that something wicked is going on as a sentient fog enters Halliwell Manor and does some sort of mojo on the sisters. Phoebe has a nightmare or a vision in her sleep about blood pouring out of a bureau up in the attic, waking Cole in her shock.
He helps her find the symbolism of the blood as a letter stuck behind a pried-out panel on the bureau, the noise wakes Piper and Leo but not Paige. Phoebe reads the letter addressed to the Charmed Ones from an Agnes Halliwell saying that a sister will die and an impostor will infiltrate The Power of Three to tear it apart.
Piper doesn't believe the vision and they both decide not to tell Paige, but it ends up of course having Leo and Cole take sides of their significant Charmed other. Paige can sense the tension as both sisters avoid her with Piper keeping busy at P3 and Phoebe going to job interviews, Cole and Leo as well.
Paige is on her lunch break and ready to head back to work when she sees a toddler running after a red ball, to his mother's obliviousness on a cell phone, and uses her orb power to stop it from going into the street. A handsome young man tells Paige that he saw her use her powers and informs her that he is also a witch. Paige is wary at first, but he proves to be insightful to her character and introduces himself as Timothy. They have a short talk, and Timothy gives Paige is number.
Paige does not tell her sisters since they are deciding to keep secrets from her.
Piper and Leo see the latest murder on the news and the story about the discovery of bodies, so they become entangled right away, but Piper doesn't want to inform Phoebe about half of what they find.
Phoebe goes to a job interview and finds a bracelet on the street nearby the bookstore so picking it up gives her a vision of a young woman being attacked. Yet she still goes to her interview and doesn't right away tell either Piper or Paige about an innocent getting murdered! Nope, she still doesn't trust Paige because of the damned letter.
When Paige puts her trust in Timothy and finds the letter in Phoebe's room, she becomes sad and angry.
How both plots tie together you can already guess but I'm more into reading about Darryl for a change instead of a plot where three grown women act like teenagers fighting in a sullen silent treatment of each other and drag Cole and Leo down to that level.
The title also makes no sense until you get toward the end of the book. If it wasn't for the plot adding in Darryl, this book would have only one star.

Pheobe finds a letter from her great aunt that suggests her new found half sister cant be trusted, envoking feelings of mistrust. Meanwhile someone or something is killing women all over the town.
Nice mystery read from the Charmed Universe and is one of the more well written novels of this series (imagery well described, an ongoing tension gets uphold, description of details of victims lives help empathise more with them, word phrases arent too simple in the german version).

Enjoyable.
There was more detail in this novella than some of the others. The author used more information on the actual crime as well.

On the flat side. Didn't have the resonance/connection I expected.
A warlock infiltrates the manor one night and causes the sisters to suspect and distrust each other, especially Paige. While tensions brew, Paige meets a handsome, charming male witch named Timothy. And women are being killed all over the city. Turns out the murders are connected to a newly discovered murder scene that's almost 100 years old. The sisters' ancestor, Agnes Halliwell, died on the outs with the family for protecting a warlock named Timothy--although she did die attempting to vanquish him. He's the killer from both times and almost manages to free himself for good. But he's stopped, of course.

I’ve been going through and rereading all of the Charmed books as I do my perpetual rewatching of the series, and of all of the books this one is the weakest for me. A lot more inconsistencies with the series than the other titles and the behaviors of the sisters bugged me (namingly Phoebe not trusting Paige and Piper defunding her is the exact opposite to the series). Overall just not researched and mediocrely written. When I struggle to get into something Charmed related, that means it’s substantially bad because I am thoroughly obsessed with the universe…

I found this one of the most frustrating Charmed books that I have read so far. The story was good, good enough to frustrate me that Paige and Phoebe are sometimes just oh so blind. Maybe that is why Piper (after Prue) is my favorite, she keeps her cool. Anyway, story was great especially since you as a reader already know who the bad guy is but they don't. It was exiting until the last page and this might turn out to be one of my favorite Charmed book.

I love the charmed TV series so when i saw this novel in the school library, i decided to give it a read. The characters were written the same way as they appear on TV, which was good and it had good themes behind the plot, like how doubt can tear apart relationships but i didn't find the idea of the plot very original as it reminded me of a movie i once saw. Charmed, Mirror Image was ok but not great, therefore, i give it 4 stars.

Like all the other Charmed novels, a great book, and just as good as the actual show.
