''Daughters of the Moon'' is a series of novels by Lynne Ewing. It's about four girls — five, after {{The Reveal}} — who find out they're Goddesses. Or, well, daughters of the moon goddess who are sent to Earth to fight an ancient evil called the Atrox and his followers. The Atrox seeks to devour all hope from the world. Each girl has her own Goddess powers as well: Vanessa, {{invisibility}}; Catty, {{time travel}}; Serena, {{telepathy}}; Jimena, premonition, and later Tianna, {{telekinesis}}. All girls wear moon amulets. They must choose when they turn 17 whether to ascend and keep their powers or stay on Earth and lose powers and their memories of everything that happened.

* CostumePorn: There's plenty of great early 2000's fashion and clubbing outfits on display, but the real shoutout goes to the goddess outfits that the daughters dress into and wear during the climax of each book. The series takes what would be slightly over-the-top party wear and makeup and turns them into something otherworldly and magical.
