Muse Squad: The Cassandra Curse by Chantel Acevedo
Callie Martinez-Silva is a normal girl living in Miami, Florida. She has all the typical problems: friends who change, fitting in, school work, etc. Add to that her parents are divorced, her dad, who lives in NY now, just told her he and his new wife are having a baby, and she starts noticing weird things are happening around her. Callie finds out she is Muse, like one of the nine from Greek mythology. Her Aunt Annie was also a Muse. One day as she crawls under her bed to think she is whisked away to London to the V and A Museum where she discovers her identity and meets the three junior muses, AKA the Muse Squad. The squad is assigned a Fated One (one who can change the world) who just happens to be a student from Callie's school. Maya is really smart, but socially awkward. As Callie and the Muse Squad try to protect Maya from the The Cassandra Curse and the Sirens they learn that things are not always what they seem and you can't always trust who you think you can.
Great character development, themes of trust, honesty, and forgiveness are woven throughout. Highly recommend. It reminded me of Aru Shah series.
