Our protagonist Evie can see through their human disguise 'their glamours' and see the true entity, thus her value to the International Paranormal Containment Agency, ICPA. Mixes up realistic teen romance with fantasy: a very human world but with mythological beings mixed in: werewolves, trolls, vampires, etc. Great teen read, with a spunky female Evie, who is still a sweet, in some ways, naive 16 yr old. If paranormal YA books aren't you thing then I wouldn't pick it up. I think if your into this type of book its a great read and well worth your time. I enjoyed it and can't wait to pick up the next one. I really hope the second one includes more of them.īesides Evie's horrid fashion sense for the most part the book was really good. I also enjoyed hearing more about other types of paranormals throughout the book. I really enjoyed the character Lend throughout the series along with Reth. Her mary sue traits aren't as noticeable as in other books fitting this genre. Of course she was a slight mary sue, but it seems almost inescapable these days. I felt like Evie was a little different than most the heroines in this genre. I enjoyed the book enough to read it in one day while I know its not long that doesn't happen often. And some lesser seen paranormal entities like water spirits, and hybrids.

While most YA paranormal books are about vampires or werewolves this one has it all. Well having read a good bit of these books Paranormalcy is different. So its was pretty natural that I ended up picking up this book. I love fiction that shows the fae as dangerous as they really are, and Paranormalcy totally delivered on that end.It's a great little book with a larger than life main character in Evie, and I can't wait to get my hands on Supernaturally. I loved her best friend Lish, the mermaid (selkie? I forget) and her mother figure, Raquel, the head of IPCA, the paranormal agency that raised her.The integration of all the paranormal creatures was great, and I loved that the fae folk aren't entirely the best to work with. The other characters are pretty decent as well - Lend is kind of adorable, through Evie's eyes. I really enjoyed reading about her, and felt for her the entire time. She's a wonderful, fun protagonist, and she's the life of the entire book. Originally posted at The Wandering Fangirl.Paranormalcy is one of those books that is just plain fun, with a cute, sassy heroine and a plot chockful of vampires, faires and weres, oh my! While it wasn't the best of the YA paranormal genre, there was enough fun and sass to keep things light.Evie, our heroine, is a tiny, pink-loving paranormal sort-of-cop, raised without parents by an international agency that polices paranormal creatures.
