Bloopers: Why would demons (even lower level ones) explode when being hit by an ordinary knife?

"But you could heal yourself," Piper said.
Leo never could heal himself.

"The few times she had travelled into her past .."
Piper has only once travelled into her past which was in 1x17 That 70s episode.

The pages 130 and 131 are mixed up.		  
Random quote: "No, I like that plan," Chris said, looking relieved for the first time since he had been
assigned this mission. "I'm pretty sure I can puke on command."
"Lovely," Leo said. "Just what every father wants to hear. Is this a talent you picked
up in college?"		  
     
Rating: humor: 1 out of 3 possible
tension: 1 out of 3 possible
 story:  2 out of 3 possible
 style: 2 out of 3 possible		  
Summary: 6 out of 12  
  The two plots are the girls in the underworld and Leo and his sons trying to rescue them. While none is especially exciting both are well written and sometimes even funny. This is the first book that gives Leo more room and features Piper's adults sons.
As usual Phoebe is seduced by a demon, Paige is almost not present in this book and the supposed main villain fulfills every cliche of the mad scientist.
Nice reading but still a bit boring.
