YAEffigies series.
In an alternate world ravaged by monsters known as phantoms, sixteen-year-old Maia becomes the newest Effigy, one of four young women mystically chosen, Buffy-style, to fight phantoms via elemental powers. Despite some choppy world-building, readers will be engaged by compelling questions about Maia's predecessor's mysterious death, the origins of a human enemy with Effigy powers, and Effigies' reactions to long-term trauma.
