Just passed the PANCE a few weeks ago. I liked A Comprehensive Review For the Certification and Recertification Examinations for Physician Assistants
I recommend the Kaplan PANCE High Yield lecture videos and second the Kaplan PANCE Qbank.
I was not a fan of CME4Life. Seemed long and drawn out for little content, and most of his methods for remembering things weren't helpful to me.
No, I don't think magical books in which you write people's names causing them to die really exist.
As for physiological books, this was an excellent book.
This is a great resource, and only $32 on Amazon:

I used a previous edition when I studied for the PANCE. I am actually taking the PANRE on Saturday and used a newer edition.
It has about 400 pages of content, a 300 question practice test and an online question bank (not sure how many).
When studying, practice questions are key. I also really like:

About $38 and has 1300 practice questions.
There is a book by Kaplan that is absolute garbage.
This isn't an answer to your question, I just wanted to tell you about the book you're using.
I used the Physician Assistant Exam for Dummies practice questions too. During the cardiology section I was working through some questions with a classmate and we found out that one of the questions was blatantly wrong (I don't remember which). We checked a couple textbooks and uptodate.com and sure enough it was keyed wrong or they just didn't know any better. I haven't touched that book since.
This review book so far has been the best for material. It's well organized and has some practice exams.
The PANCE pearls book has been fantastic for learning what to focus on for the PANCE.
Take it in a little bit at a time. Focus on a couple things at a time instead of the entire daunting aspect of it all. You can do this.
That first year is so tough. It's like drinking from the firehose of knowledge. I spent countless hours studying my first year. Difficult to find a break. We had a list of commons and my study group would break down those lists and present to each other regarding those commons on the weekends. If there was confusion, we'd talk about it. This bad boy helped with some last minute preparation as well.
I just bought this for the PANCE: http://www.amazon.com/Comprehensive-Certification-Recertification-Examinations-Assistants/dp/145119109X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410579591&sr=8-1&keywords=pance+review
I'd say it's pretty good. There is a pre and post-test section with answers in the book, plus it gives you access to their online question bank of some 1000 questions or so. The answers are contained within a separate section of the book, which means you have to flip back and forth, but they include explanations to the various answer choices. Overall, fairly basic info, but worthwhile.
