Loved itMeanwhile, books like Mystic Knoll and Soul of the Bride are two that have really, really stuck in my memory. Like I remember the plots of those super well. I think Soul of the Bride, anyway, is a Hades and Persephone retelling.
Soul of the bride (2001)
Others: Positive In order to rescue a group of models, the Charmed sisters descend into Hades and match wits with the ancient Greek gods.

Others: PositiveThe Charmed Ones are long overdue for a holiday and in an effort to combine both playtime with a chance to learn about witch heritage, Paige wants to explore their roots in Salem, Massachusetts. Her sisters aren't that keen on the idea, so it's decided that after a quick pass through Salem, they'll spend the rest of the time at the beach. But things don't quite go according to plan and late flights and bad directions land them in a town that desperately needs their help. Of course, there's no such thing as a relaxing holiday when you're a Charmed One!

Others: Overwhelmingly positiveIris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous. But now, ten years later, seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time--something her two famously glamourous globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. But when Grey goes missing without a trace, leaving behind bizarre clues as to what might have happened, Iris and Vivi are left to trace her last few days. They aren't the only ones looking for her though. As they brush against the supernatural they realize that the story they've been told about their past is unraveling and the world that returned them seemingly unharmed ten years ago, might just be calling them home.

Others: Mostly positiveNico had warned them. Going through the House of Hades would stir the demigods' worst memories. Their ghosts would become restless. Nico may actually become a ghost if he has to shadow-travel with Reyna and Coach Hedge one more time. But that might be better than the alternative: allowing someone else to die, as Hades foretold. Jason's ghost is his mother, who abandoned him when he was little. He may not know how he is going to prove himself as a leader, but he does know that he will not break promises like she did. He will complete his line of the prophecy: To storm or fire the world must fall. Reyna fears the ghosts of her ancestors, who radiate anger. But she can't allow them to distract her from getting the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half-Blood before war breaks out between the Romans and Greeks. Will she have enough strength to succeed, especially with a deadly hunter on her trail? Leo fears that his plan won't work, that his friends might interfere. But there is no other way. All of them know that one of the Seven has to die in order to defeat Gaea, the Earth Mother. Piper must learn to give herself over to fear. Only then will she be able to do her part at the end: utter a single word. Heroes, gods, and monsters all have a role to play in the climactic fulfillment of the prophecy in The Blood of Olympus, the electrifying finale of the best-selling Heroes of Olympus series.
