MIRROR IMAGE by Jeff Mariotte

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
poised is she, to take the fall,
as mist and fog I travel through
a demon's will, this binding shall endure.

Synopsis: Phoebe Halliwell is used to receiving terrifying visions about innocents in danger, but she is stunned when her latest vision involves her younger half sister, Paige. The vision reveals to her that Paige is actually an imposter who will infiltrate the Power of Three and break it apart. However, Piper is dismissive when she learns of Phoebe's concerns - so much so, that Cole and Leo end up taking sides as well. Before long, all involved are on edge.

Paige senses that her sisters are acting strangely around her, so when she meets Timothy McBride, an attractive young stranger who purports to be a witch, she decides not to tell her sisters. She wants to have something of her own, separate from her Charmed duties. Secrets are estranging the sisters from one another, and timing isn't good. Women are turning up all over the city, dead by supernatural causes. The perpetrator may be connected to the sisters' past, but if they can't work together, they might not be able to stop him. And he's growing stronger with each victim he claims....

My Review:
Purchased this book on the same day as "Between Worlds". The book was so boring and placid that at several points I had debated whether or not to just go to sleep. But stubborn me wanted to continue the book, hoping for the turning point where the story really starts to heat up. Did it? Well, let's just say I might as well have been teleported straight to Alaska or Antarctica. You could basically tell who the Big Bad was right from the near-beginning. No suspense. No nothing. Once again, Paige saves the day by humoring us with some quip, and refreshingly Inspector Darryl Morris gets plenty parts, but I'm afraid that these aren't gonna stop me from giving the book a bad review.
