Beatriz, Akacia, CeCe, Shadow, Kendra, Savannah, Missey--ordinary names given to not so ordinary people. I mean, they've got certain abilities "normal" humans wouldn't have and they live (quite) ordinary lives in their warehouse somewhere in San Francisco. That is until one of them very foolishly gets arrested by this "police officer" called Mayvis. I swear--all hell breaks loose after that. The other girls have to rescue her, the government chases them out of their home, and then they get put into some school not in the "west side." But that part of the story is quite entertaining, I have to admit. During their time there, they meet the most unusual characters you will probably ever have the pleasure of reading about. Then after that, they meet a few more people, including a familiar face to one of the girls, who is going to help them take down the evilness sent to find something that could possibly wreck this dimension and the next.
