Sisters of Isis 1

Sudi wakes up from sleepwalking outside her house. She had also been having an unusual dream about walking on sand. Something looks into the house and scares her. She had also just broken up with some guy named Brian. She wakes up later with some kind of a walking stick next to her.

She catches her two sisters using an Ouiji board. They are twelve and believe in using magic. They warn her that someone is after her.

She goes to a party thinking she will meet a boy, but instead meets Dalila and Meri, and a boy named Abdel who represents the Hour priests. He tells the three women that they are “descended from the divine pharaohs of ancient Egypt.”

Neither Meri nor Sudi believe him, but he grabs Meri and forces his forehead against hers, and does the same later to Sudi. A girl named Sara is Sudi's best friend.

At a museum, Sudi finds she can now read hieroglyphs on Egyptian mummy coffins. Then she runs into some trouble. She becomes trapped in the museum. At home she chants a spell and ends up turning into a bird.

Sudi ends up naked in a dumpster, but Meri is able to help her. Dalila says she's apparently been trained her whole life for some role involving fighting evil beings. All three girls are attacked by Anubis.

Suddenly all three girls are passing through "gates" of some kind. They escape. Meri has the ability to talk to some animals.

Sudi can turn into a bird, Meri a cat, and Dalila a combination crocodile-lion. All three girls want out of the situation, but the guy who put them into it says they can't back out. They used their abilities and are thus bound to be Descendants, although the girls did so without knowing what would be the result of their transformation. Abdel is the guy doing this, and he wants the girls to accept his training (although he's already proven he's not trustworthy and has his own agenda, and to blazes with what the girls want.)

He tells them a story about creation and evil gods and how people can "command" the gods of ancient Egypt by using the Book of Thoth.

(This bothers me. "Command" a god? Isn't, by definition, a god (or goddess) a being who has one heck of a lot more power than a human being? How could a mere human force an actual god to do anything? Request, ask, beg, those I could understand, but “command?” That makes no sense at all, and thus it damages the entire basis on which this series of books is being made. )

The three girls go to a party and Meri starts to turn into a cat, but is able to reverse what is happening. Sudi ends up putting love spell on a mummy that is attacking her (which does lead do some rather amusing events).

Scott is kidnapped, and the three girls go to rescue him in a building that belongs to the Anubis cult. They try to rescue Scott who is an offering at a ceremony.

They have to fight the evil priest, free Scott, deal with a bunch of demons, then one hidden demon, and meet Isis Herself.

Other than "commanding" the gods, this was a pretty interesting book, although I kept thinking some kind of symbiote would be found in the Egyptian priest.
