| Summary: | The Charmed Ones' childhood friend, Lyssa, asks them to be bridesmaids in her seaside wedding in Serenity Cove. The ceremony will take place in the village's beautiful old lighthouse, which is believed to be haunted by the vengeful spirit of a lighthouse keeper who lost his true love at sea a hundred years ago - on the same day as Lyssa's intended nuptials. The rumors are dismissed, until Lyssa's fiance begins acting strange and overly interested in Lyssa's family heirdom, a rare mystical diamond called the Light of the World. The Halliwell sisters must disclose the groom-to-be's true intentions - and identity - before their friend says "I do" to Mr. Wrong. | |||

| Summary: | 1 out of 12 | |||
| One of the most boring Charmed books ever. Uninspired story, dull characters, a mix of weird beings that have not much to do with the main plot and bad, cliche style make this book a real pain in the ass. | ||||
