Summary from Goodreads:
Witness protection has a protocol for dealing with every situation—except magic.
Fifteen-year-old Cate's life has been monitored since her new identity was created five years ago. She's spent countless hours learning how to deal with potential threats and dangerous situations. None of which is any use when everyone around her is suddenly frozen like statues at the bus stop.
As Cate attempts to make sense of the frightening scene, a mysterious group of teenagers appear out of thin air. They are intrigued she’s not affected, but focus on completing their deadly mission, using baffling powers before they vanish again.
When the group seeks her out the next day, Cate is drawn into a world filled with sorcery and time travel. After she accidentally brings a cheerleader back from the dead, her incredible powers are revealed. Cate is shocked to discover she has a pivotal role to play in a centuries-old battle between two mortal enemies which threatens to destroy her entire world.
With the distinction between good and evil blurred, she’s faced with the excruciating choice of which side to join. Cate can save her family or protect thousands of people from death. She can't do both. Will she risk destroying innocent lives to save the ones she loves?

Excerpt:
A prickle of apprehension scuttled up Cate’s neck. She stepped closer to Eve. When their noses were nearly touching, she stuck her tongue out. Nothing, nada, zip! Her friend seemed frozen, like a statue.
Turning in a circle, Cate’s uneasiness ratcheted up to fear. A woman was perched awkwardly with one leg on the ground, the other halfway out of the cab she was exiting. People were poised mid-step on the crosswalk, and a street performer, his mouth open, stood silently, frozen mid-song. The entire street resembled a photograph. All the people were still, petrified statues. An icy chill rippled across her skin. What was going on?
“H...H...Hello...” Her voice was barely audible. “Hello,” she shouted toward the black clouds overhead. Silence and stillness were the only things that answered. She placed a trembling hand on Eve’s red coat. The rise and fall of her friend’s chest confirmed she was alive. Out of the corner of her eye, Cate sensed movement.
