#1
Except for the ability to become
invisible, Vanessa's life appears very much like the average teenager's:
her mother doesn't understand her, her best friend talks her into doing
crazy things, and she gets nervous around her crush. However, with the
invisibility, strange nightmares, Latin phrases that just come to her,
and her affinity for the moon, she has always felt a little different from
everyone except her best friend Catty, who can hop back and forth in time.
And now someone is after Vanessa.
Torn between keeping another
girl away from her crush and protecting herself from whoever-or whatever-is
chasing her, Vanessa is forced to confront the fact that perhaps her unique
qualities are more than just unusual. Maybe they mean she has a special
purpose.
When Catty suddenly disappears
while trying to help Vanessa, she knows she has to summon her courage and
do everything she can to find her best friend. Vanessa meets two other
girls who also have exceptional abilities, and they introduce her to a
world where common high school cares no longer matter. Instead, the future
of the entire world is at stake. Will Vanessa be able to save her best
friend, fight evil, and keep her crush interested in her, all before it's
too late?

Best
friends Vanessa and Catty both have special powers, but while Catty revels
in her ability to time travel, Vanessa hates the fact that she begins to
disappear anytime she feels strong emotion, like when she is about to kiss
her boyfriend, Michael. But something happens to Catty, and Vanessa
discovers that they are both Daughters of the Moon and that the evil Atrox
is plotting to destroy them. Can she find Catty in time to save her?
Book 1 in the Daughters of the Moon series. (New Hampshire
