Evie’s always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, 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 Evie’s about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.
So much for normal.

Within 24 hours, I was able to finish reading this great young adult fiction book and I was impressed. It's fast, it's funny, it's edgy, it's a whole lot of bleep. It's like I was reading Kiersten's blog instead of actually reading a book and that makes it unique and exciting. I only have good words for this book and I can't wait for so much more!

 Evelyn, fondly called Evie, lived and worked for the International Paranormal Containment Agency (IPCA). She had been there since she was 8 years old and had always wanted to live a normal life, like going to school, watching boys from the sidelines, staying late at night watching movies and TV. She also had a bestfriend who was actually a mermaid named Lish. 

What's great & different about Evie is she can see through supernatural glamours (or mask) used by paranormals (read: vampires, werewolves, gnomes, fairies, etc). One day she captured a bleeping shapeshifting young man named Lend. This shapeshifter soon triggered up conceivable outcomes in Evie's existence, notwithstanding her watchman Raquel's overwhelming protests. I enjoyed reading Paranormalcy. Right from the start, I knew this might be a fun bleep read. Kiersten  White is a flawless writer, he work is breathtaking, stuffed with snickers and wheezes in pair. The characters are genially adorable and overall developed.

I liked the main character Evie - the lady obsessed with pink and with a fixation on all things "normal, something she never had the chance to experience. I'm not at all surprised that Lend felt like a magnet to Evie, because he is someone who Evie did not ever had the pleasure to be with. Overall, White's debut novel is a light read, super fun and engaging. I am now ready to read the second book, Supernaturally.
