YA
Four friends stumble into a supernatural battle between the Three Fates when they apply temporary tattoos that give them magical abilities. Though the girls' characters rarely rise beyond standard types (tomboy, fashionista, etc.), they are sympathetic players in a layered plot that fuses Celtic and Greek mythology for a sort of supernatural Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
