GARDEN OF EVIL by Emma Harrison

By the powers above
And by all things good,
Bring me a love
Who will always be true.

Synopsis: The Halliwell sisters and their honeys are enjoying a rare afternoon off from fighting evil. Even though the two couples try to keep the vibe free of romance, Paige can't help feeling like a fifth wheel. But where to find a guy who not only embodies everything she wants in a boyfriend but will also understand her witchy lifestyle? Then while saving an innocent, Paige connects -- with the girl's boyfriend, Micah.

Micah seems perfect -- he's attractive and attentive, and he lives in a beautiful mansion in the hills outside San Francisco. Paige thinks he could be her Prince Charming. But the fairy tale turns sinister when he invites her into his garden -- an enchanted prison from which there is no escape and where the strongest bonds are those of love.

My Review:
Terrific book! Simple plot, but well-written. Paige is dateless and feels left out. Then, while touring Micah's mansion, Paige gets trapped in his magic-proof garden where she can't do anything except talking to herself. There was this scene in the book where it reminds me of the season 4 episode "Lost and Bound". Piper had to blast through a magic-proof gate, but when it failed, the book said: "She may as well have thrown a firecracker at a missile silo". The last part was really interesting, with all the battling and Paige being brainwashed and stuff. A small blooper is that it was mentioned that Paige's car was red when we all know that her Volkswagen Bug is something like lime-green or pale yellow.
