Of which of the Charmed books relate to any of the TV episodes? [Loosely is fine]
I mean... Which of the books is based on "All Hell Brakes Loose" [Ex.]
*Possible Minor Spoilers*
And [if any] do relate to the episodes, do any of them feature Christy or "The Final Battle"?
Any help would be highly appreciated! =D
btw, Hey Everybody! Im new here!

DL: Only a few of the Charmed novels are based on specific episodes. The very first episode, for example, had a novelization, as did the two parter which began Season four, Still Charmed Again, part I and II. The latter was just one book, though two episodes. I can't recall any other episodes that were made into novels. I do know that All Hell Breaks Loose was not made into a novel.
I've read all the books (one is due out in a few days) to date and they have slowly been moving along, chronologically, with the epidsode timeline. Although telling new stories, they are somewhere in the timeframe of Season five, going into Season six. Until now, for example, Chris has not appeared (which he did in the last episodes of Season five and remained part of charmed all through season six) and so Wyatt is still an only child. However, Leo Rising, which I have added at the end of the list, now introduces Chris and Wyatt (as adults) into the books.
I can also tell you the first 10 books were with Prue and the rest are post Prue, with Paige. Also, the frequency of new books being published, for some reason, was reduced to one every four months, up from every two months. Here is a listing of all the books to date. Some are not part of the novelization series but collections of shorter stories. Although #28 is named after one of the episodes (or very similar), it is a different story, and wasn't a bad book either. You can find them all on Amazon or eBay (though eBay is cheaper as sellers often sell them in lots of 5, 10 or more Charmed books at a time.)
This is in alphabetical order, not chronlogical, sorry.
1 A Tale of Two Pipers 2 As Puck Would Have It 3 Between Worlds 4 Beware What You Wish 5 Changeling Places 6 Charmed Again 7 Charmed – Seasons of the Witch, Vol 1 8 Dark Vengeance 9 Date with Death 10 Demon Doppelgangers 11 Garden of Evil 12 Haunted by Desire 13 High Spirits 14 House of Shards 15 Hurricane Hex 16 Inherit the Witch 17 Kiss of Darkness 18 Leo Rising 19 Light of the World 20 Luck Be a Lady 21 Mirror Image 22 Mist and Stone 23 Mystic Knoll 24 Phoebe Who? 25 Picture Perfect 26 Pied Piper 27 Shadow of the Sphinx 28 Something Wiccan This Way Comes 29 Soul of the Bride 30 Spirit of the Wolf 31 Survival of the Fittest 32 Sweet Talkin’ Demon 33 The Brewing Storm 34 The Crimson Spell 35 The Gypsy Enchantment 36 The Legacy of Merlin 37 The Power of Three 38 The Queen’s Curse 39 The Warren Witches 40 Truth and Consequences 41 Voodoo Moon 42 Whispers from the Past 43 Leo Rising (to be released this month)
Probably more than you wanted to know, but hope you enjoy the books. The only one I've really not liked is a recent one called High Spirits. Despite the review on this site, most everyone I've chatted with agrees that it simply just doesn't capture the character of the live cast the way almost all the others do.

You're quite welcome. Glad my response was helpful. Note: I did have Leo rising in the alpha list, so it does appear there twice. I am also looking to sell my entire collection, so let me know if you're interested and I'm sure we find a way to work it, even if only for those books you don't already have. Most of mine are in very good shape, near mint, as many were bought new and read just once. Others vary from having some obvious wear to one which was a former library book, so it's pretty worn. If interested, I'll send pictures so you can see for yourself.

Charmed and Dangerous is set for release in December. Will this title have anything to do with vanquishing the Source? I don't know!

Don't know. If not, it'll be the second book with an episode title which has nothing to do with that episode. Perhaps, as the release date approaches, a synopsis of the book will appear.
