Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Evie learns that she is not quite the person she thought she was in this creature-feature mash-up. Possessing the unique ability to recognize paranormals beneath their glamour, Evie has lived most of her life under the protection of the International Paranormal Containment Agreement (IPCA), an organization dedicated to the cataloging and neutralizing of paranormal creatures. After a mysterious entity begins killing paranormals around the world, Evie discovers some startling truths about her own identity.

So I'm going to start by saying I loved this book. Evie reminded me sooooo much of Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it was ridiculous. She had it all down, the cheesy one liners, the puns, the kick-buttedness. She quickly turned into one of my favorite book characters ever. She made me laugh sooo hard, especially when she introduced us to Tasey. What's cooler then a pink taser with rhinestones? Especially one that can take down almost any paranormal.
Paranormaly is one of those books you just don't want to put down, it's full of action and twists and that bad guy you love to hate. It was hilarious too, Evie wasn't the only one making me laugh. I loved Lend, he was so charming and sweet, and was always there for Evie. Reth scared the bleep out of me, he was so dark, and just plain scary. I was in shock when I heard he was a Seelie.
The writing was amazing, fun, witty, hilarious, but could be dark and serious at the same time. White crafted an amazing world about a girl just trying to figure out who she is, and get a boyfriend at the same time. Paranormalcy is definitely a new favorite, and I can't wait for the sequel.
