More Proof

Paranormalcy (Paranormalcy, #1)

Paranormalcy by Keirsten White is the first book in the series of the same name.

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.

The Breakdown:
1.The world White has created in Paranormalcy is fascinating. Paranormals are controlled by IPCA so they cannot harm humans, who the average human has no idea these paranormals exist. White does a good job with balance humor in her characters, and unfolding the drama of the story line. Plus she present more proof why the Fae cannot be trusted, even when you know their true name.

2. I really liked Evie.  She is quirky and fun.  Her desire to be a normal teenager is sweet, and her excitement at experiencing the stuff that normal kids do is enduring. She is also very loyal to her friends, and she is a lot smarter that the IPCA gives her credit for at times.  She, after all, warns multiple times that the Fae aren't to be trusted, and that they have their own agenda.

3. Also, really enjoyed Lend's character, the shape-shifting boy.  He is interesting both in personality and origins.  As his and Evie's relationship grows, it is easy to see he is a great compliment to her character.
