You've heard it all before -- normal girl gets special powers, saves the world, and makes the boy fall in love with her by the end. So what makes Carissa Lopez any different? Well, she does live in New York City, only one of the most awesome cities EVER. And anything can (and will) happen in New York City. Like people collapsing in coffee shops, high speed bicycle chases, epic shopping trips, and trains not doing what they're supposed to. Not to mention the merging of two universes, which Carissa has to stop with her best friend sidekick and supposed love interest before it's too late. Oh, and chai. Lots of chai.
