The Premise: 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.
“A fast, flirty roller coaster of a ride. This story was everything I hoped for—sassy, light-hearted and downright scary. Oh, bleep! I’m in love!” (Becca Fitzpatrick, New York Times bestselling author of Hush, Hush)

“Strong characters, a clever premise, and a hilarious voice all team up to make PARANORMALCY the most refreshing paranormal debut of the year.” (Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of the Wake trilogy)

“Kiersten White creates the perfect blend of light and dark. Even as the stakes rose higher, PARANORMALCY’s narrator, Evie, kept a smile on my face with her cunning wit. I can’t wait for more!” (Carrie Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth)

“Paranormalcy seduced me. The two sexy paranormals who vie for Evie’s affections each had their own victory; one won Evie’s heart and the other won mine.” (Aprilynne Pike, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wings)
A New York Times bestseller, a Publisher's Weekly Flying Start pick, an Indie Fall 2010 Next List book, a Junior Library Guild pick, a YALSA Teen Top Ten nominee, a Florida Teens Read! selection, a Utah Book Award Finalist, a Whitney Award Winner, and a book described by my four-year-old as being a "rectangle."
Cover Commentary: I am in love with this beautiful cover, I loved it when ı first saw it. Also, after I read this book I find it more suitable and perfect for representing the context.
Commentary: I bought this book as soon as it comes out in my country and I love it! It is totally fantastic. It is an easy read that's why I could read it quickly and I love the way how Kiersten White wrote it. The context is a popular one with fantastic, paranormal characters and in the middle of them a sympathetic girl who you can easly love and put put yourself into her place.
While I am reading the novel, I find that I love all the characters. I don't why but I find all the characters charming and beautifully represented. Is that the writer's purpose or my interest, I don't care what, I think this makes the book so lovely. However, my favourite one is of course Evie, she is beutiful, attractive, clever, strong and repartee=))
I think this book is one of the best books in YA genre. It represents every aspect of it cleverly and succesfully. I love the atmosphere, the characters, the subject and how the writer wrote it. Kiersten White is a genius writer who catches the attention of the readers easily.
