Paranormaly by Keirsten White

      " 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."
  Is there such a thing as love at first site? Because I think that I'm in love...This book grabbed me from the cover and kept me loving it until I closed the last page.  Although I found that it's plot was a little simple, it had a way of making you keep reading.  I read Paranormalcy in one sitting and had baited breath until the last page.   The ending, by the way, was epic!

          I am very fond of the supernatural, so, of course, this book, which is full to the brim with the supernatural, would intrigue me.  The cast was so warm and real that I felt as though I was one of the characters.  White has a way with her words,  making every chapter humorous and yet gripping.
          I have heard that some people accuse the cover of being misleading, and I do agree.  The cover leads you to believe that the book is darker and more of a thriller than it really is. Since I'm complaining, (but only a little mind you.  And not about anything major either.),  I have to admit that all the sighs in the read started to grate on my nerves, only a slight bit though. When I was younger I would read science fiction books by an author named Timothy Zahn.  Zahn had this annoying habit of making his characters have a twitch in their faces.  He had their faces twitch at least two times every chapter.  This problem would bother me to no end. It was also very distraction through out the books.
          This is what Paranormalcy's Rafael's sighing problem reminded me of.  After a while I began to feel that if the book said she sighed one more time I would go crazy.
          I loved the book and my head is still buzzing over the fun in it.  I will look forward to reading the next installment in the series, Supernaturally , which will come out in 2011.
