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.

“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)

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.
