Hardcover: 352 Pages
Weird as it is working for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, Evie's always thought of herself as normal. Sure, her best friend is a mermaid, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she’s falling for a shape-shifter, and she’s the only person who can see through paranormals' glamours, but still. Normal.
Only now paranormals are dying, and Evie's dreams are filled with haunting voices and mysterious prophecies. She soon realizes that there may be a link between her abilities and the sudden rash of deaths. Not only that, but she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures. (Source)
Review
PARANORMALCY, Kiersten White, is and interesting concept of paranormals and those whose duties are to contain those who get out of hand. Evie thought she was a normal human with an added ability to see through glamours but as the pieces of her past fall into place, she starts to question herself and those around her.
I have heard such great things about this book so I just had to read it! I really liked the whole idea of the IPCA. I enjoyed exploring White's creativity through her words and the world that these characters live in. This world was a paranormal melting pot and I loved getting to know the different races through Evie's point of view. Evie lived for the agency, but when a stranger infiltrated it her views changed and it was an interesting road to follow along with her.
I have to say one thing bugged me about this book, but it didn't hinder my appreciation for it. Evie's obsession with pink and girly things really got to me. I am not that type of girl at all so it got under my skin a little. But this was just a small part of what made her unique as a character within the paranormal genre. She was very true to herself and was still strong at heart. Even though around Lend, she acted like a silly girl, it was very true to first love.
I loved learning about where Evie really came from. It was definitely unique and now I understand why everyone likes this book so much! I felt the story ended too soon and we only touched the tip of the iceberg about Evie and her past. I appreciated White's vision for the book and it really stuck with me after I read it. I am excited to explore that a more in the sequel, Supernaturally.
