Goddess of the Night

This is the first book in the series. Vanessa is a young girl who has the ability to become invisible by removing the molecular attraction between the atoms making up her body. She can fly through the air and move among groups of people without being seen.

Catty, her friend, we learn has the ability to travel back and forth through time. She takes Vanessa with her at times, something which scares Vanessa quite a bit.

Serena is introduced as a young girl who has the ability to read minds and Jimena can fortell the future.

The basic plot is that the girls gradually come together and learn they are have special abilities they are to use for good. They also learn that there is an evil force that wants to take control of the girls and they have their first run-in with agents of that power.

This is really a good first book in the series. You have the girls accepting their abilities as being natural to them. They also find out that controlling their powers is not always easy and can cause them a variety of problems, especially for Vanessa who likes this one boy but can't really let herself get excited too much since she ends up disappating into a cloud of particles.

The books come in hardback making their initial cost somewhat higher than comparable paperbacks, but then again the hardback book will last longer and looks better than a paperback.

I'm looking forward to reading more books in the series.
