For years now, the Fortune sisters have been living in hiding from their Aunt Xan. She killed their parents and stole their powers, and the girls just know that the witch will do the same to them if they are ever caught. One Friday before Halloween, the chickens come to roost. First, Danny James shows up on their door, asking questions about the past. Though the eldest, Dee, can literally feel her hackles rising, she's just turned into an owl after all, she can't help but be attracted to this very hot package of trouble. The youngest Fortune sister, Mare, isn't so sure her aunt is all bad, and besides, her powers are miniscule. Plus, she's annoyed with Dee and feeling like she came in third in a three horse race. Then, a corporate executive from the head office and her first love both show up, wanting to offer her bright futures. Middle sister Lizzie just wants to make things better for her family and she's tried every spell she can find to do it, but just keeps creating rabbits and shoes. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed though. Elric the Magnificent has arrived to see who is disturbing the universe, but he soon realizes he's found his soul mate, or been sent to her. It's clear that Xan is after the sisters, and the three men may just be bait or bribes. If the sisters want their happily ever afters, they're going to have to use powers they hate and make tough choices in the name of love.

If you're expecting Charmed, you might be disappointed; the Fortunes are not as in control as the Halliwells. However, this is just as much fun as one of the better episodes. The authors' voices blend seamlessly, so that you would swear only one person wrote this enchanting book. Though, I must admit that only one is a name I associate with paranormal work, I hope her compatriots continue to keep on writing on the mystic side of life.
