Summary (from Goodreads):
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.

My Thoughts:

All the reviews I read of Paranormalcy were absolutely RAVING over this new series. And really, what's not to love? Vampires, fairies, mermaids, werewolves, shape-shifters, and a totally funny main character!  

Evie was hands-down the best part of this book. She was witty, sarcastic, strong, but with her own weaknesses. I loved her relationship with Lend and watching them get to know each other. It was sweet and endearing! However, I came to love her interactions with Reth just as much... and maybe a little more. There is something about that enigmatic, slightly-evil, bad-boy fairy that makes me want to know more about him!  

I loved the world that White created as well. This was a very interesting take on the paranormal world, with Evie acting as an agent for the International Paranormal Containment Agency. I enjoyed the mystery aspect of the novel and the way that Evie must confront her unknown heritage.  

Overall, a great debut for a promising new series! Can't wait for Supernaturally (Paranormalcy #2) coming out July 26th, 2011!
