Paranormalcy by Kiersten White


Sixteen-year-old Evie's job is bagging and tagging paranormals. Possessing the strange ability to see through their glamours, she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency. But when someone--or something--starts taking out the vamps, werewolves, and other odd beasties she's worked hard to help become productive members of society, she's got to figure it out before they all disappear and the world becomes utterly normal.

Normal is so overrated



In the beginning of Paranormalcy, I thought it was going to be a Buffy knockoff. She had Mr. Tasey opposed to a Mr. Pointy and they were both kicking some paranormal butt! As I got into this book more, the more I started seeing the differences between it and Buffy, which made me happy. Evie was a strong character, she could be annoying at times but I generally liked her. The thing I liked most about her was that she wasn’t afraid to fight for what she believed in. She also was persistent, which is a good character trait. Lend is one of the most dreamy YA male characters that I have read in awhile. He is mysterious, kind, and down-right adorable.
I like how Evie didn’t only fight one paranormal. She fought them all! Paranormalcy was a cute book that had action and adventure too. Kiersten White wrote it all, and she wrote it well! I highly recommend this book It is definitely something that will keep you reading and make you want to go back and re-read it.
