PARANORMALCY

PARANORMALCY #1 : PARANORMALCY

Paranormalcy (Paranormalcy, #1)
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.

REVIEW:
I liked this book, I didn't love it, it wasn't mind-blowing but it was a very enjoyable read.
Kiersten White managed to hook you from the first sentence, something I haven't seen much.
Evie is a lovely main character, she isn't perfect and she doesn't pretend to be. She's a girly girl with an edge, a lovely change from the kick-ass heroine's that are usually the main character. I'm not saying that Evie isn't kick-ass, she is, but not in the way that for example Rose Hathaway (vampire academy) is. 
Lend is great as a love interest, sweet, loyal and on top of that he is a shapeshifter (not the person-turns-into-animal kind, but the person-can change-into-anyone-he-wants kind), and Reth is the perfect bad boyfriend form the past, as a fearie he isn't all that bad but he is centainly not the good guy either.. 
IPCA is a very original take on the supernatural genre, the international paranormal containment agency and the bag-and-tag (it reminded me a little of a season 4 Buffy the vampire slayer episode, did enyone else have that?)
Next to the fun characters is the plot also interesting on it's own, something paranormal that was very new to me. 
This book mainly introduces you to everyone and the new world you enter, but it's certainly not boring.
