This book was very disappointing. I know that if it was written better the idea would have been amazing. But, the beginning was disappointing and didn’t grab my attention too well. I hoped it would get better but it didn’t. The climax was just as disappointing as the beginning. And worst of all it felt like it didn’t really have an ending. I tried reading the second book but it still never grabbed my attention. I ended up only reading a few chapters before I concluded that it wasn’t going to get better and began reading another book.

It’s basically about a teenage girl, Vanessa Cleveland, who has this inexplicable power to become invisible. Her best friend, Catty, also has the unique ability to travel through time. When Vanessa feels like someone has been following her she travels back in time with Catty to find out who it was. They return unsuccessfully. Later she notices that the new girl, Serena, seems to be looking at her a lot. Then one day she takes her to see this weird lady named Maggie. Maggie tells Vanessa that she and Catty are goddesses. Their job is to defend the humans against the Atrox who steal hope from their victims.

So, while the story could have been a good one, I really did not like the way it was written. But, if you still want to give it a try you might like it a little better. I just did not like it enough to read the full series (12 books!).
