I really loved this book, I loved the main character Vanessa and her friends Catty, Serena, Jimena. I really just enjoyed everything about this book. Although this book is set in our world a portion of this book is setting up the mythology of the world. We don't start off knowing whats going on other then Vanessa and Catty both have "gifts". We never get to meet our main bad guy but we do get to meet a few of his followers and quickly find out why we should avoid them.
The story is about a teenager girl named Vanessa Cleveland who had the ability to become invisible, and her discovering that she is a daughter of the moon tasked with the job of protecting the world form an ancient evil. Vanessa's best friend is Catty, and Catty has the ability to travel backwards and forwards in time. Together they're both trying to be themselves and fit in at school. Vanessa is a likable character she's smart and is friendly which is why she's attracted the sights of Micheal Saratoga but unfortunately for her she goes invisible any time her tries to kiss her which leads to a few awkward moments.
Vanessa is convinced she's being followed and is determined to find out who it is, with Catty's help of course. Together they begin to search for answers of who could be following her. Catty's answer is to go back in time to find her stalker but Vanessa is unwilling to do so because of her fear of both getting stuck in the tunnel and being unable to return to the present. Their adventure to finding who's following Vanessa and discovering who they are is fun and enjoyable.
Dislikes
- Morgan. I just cant stand her.
- That Tymmie, Cassandra and Karyl exist. I mean I get why just don't like them.(I guess thats the point them being bad guys after all)
- It can be a bit cliche sometimes but maybe because it was published in 2000?
- That Serena and Jimena aren't in more of the book.
Warnings
There are two brief mentions of self harm.
Likes
- The Four girls
- Stanton I just cant help but love him.
- Venessa and Catty's friendship
- Venessa's battle outfit (it was my favorite thin about when i first read the book like 10 years ago)
- Micheal and Venessa
- Venessa's mom
- MAGGIE!
- Wallie
Overall this is a wonderful urban fantasy about four girls who discover they are goddesses and you wish were you friends. (Well at least I do!)
