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.
So much for normal.
When Lisa McMann, the best selling author of the Wake trilogy said Paranormalcy is "the most refreshing paranormal debut of the year." I knew right then and there that I had to read it. Kiersten White introduces a whole new world to us, and I have to agree with Lisa Mcmann, it was very refreshing to read something on a whole another stand point.
Evie has been working for IPCA since the age of 8 years old. After a run in with a vampire in a cemetery, which she can see straight through his glamour of the old decayed looking creature, IPCA picked her up immediately. After all if the world was to find out about all of the paranormal creatures that do exists and ones they didn't even know about. All hell could break lose.
Now at the age of sixteen years old, this is the only world she knows. She has never gone to high school, been on a date let alone prom, or even have her drivers license. She wants nothing more to be an average every day teenager but her superior Raquel thinks it would not be best for Evie.
Stuck doing everyday bag and tags of vampires, weres, and hags, can become boring after a while. The everyday teen life sounds so exciting. Just to be able to attend a school and have her own locker is the next best thing to sliced bread.
This soon all changed.
Being awoken by a panic alarm, she heads to Raquel's office to find someone or something that looks like Raquel but she can see past it and see it is not her. So she gets "Tasey" and knocks out this new encounter. A boy. A boy that can shape shift into looking like anyone. No one has seen anything like this. Not only does curiosity draw Evie into this boy, but he looks to be about her age as well. Lend, the shapeshifter becomes her interest and crush.
While the IPCA is trying to figure out what Lend is, a lot of strange killing have been going on in the world. Who ever is doing these mass killing does not mind who or what they are, vamps, weres, fae, or even hags. It only stays away from humans. Evie has a lot on her hands at this point, and with a new interest in her life....its not so boring anymore.
Please pick up Paranormalcy by Kiersten White and be drawn into a new world and love interest. I know I did and really looking forward to the second book in this new series!!! This was such a nice change in the paranormal world. To have the main character fall for someone who isn't a vampire or a werewolf for a change was so refreshing. Kiersten's book will draw you in to a new world that you would not want it to end. Guarantee you will fall in love with Lend just like I did!
Give it 5 out of 5 stars!!!
