Paranormalcy by Kiersten White Read by: Anna/Copley Teen Room Originally posted to the Teen Blog on 3/3/2012. I have to say, in a time when vampire novels are getting old, this was a refreshing new twist to paranormal books! Evie works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, bagging and tagging paranormals around the world to keep them under control and out of harm’s way. Her parents didn’t want her, and she spent time in foster care bouncing from house to house before the IPCA picked her up. She was taken in by the agency because she can see through a paranormal’s glamour. That is, she can see past a vampire’s normal looking skin to see the rotting flesh beneath, or the yellow eyes of a werewolf beneath bright blue. Her ex-boyfriend is an annoying faerie who wants her back and the new boy in her world is something no one knows how to classify. In fact, she was the one who bagged and tagged him when he was caught breaking in. But why was he breaking in? And what’s up with the abnormally high rate of paranormal deaths in the world? Strange things start to happen, making Evie question who she is herself and whether or not she can save those she loves from death and even herself. Is she really as human as she thought she was? This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in paranormal activity. Evie has great wit and humor, loves great television, and yearns to see what a real school locker looks like since she’s never been to high school, never mind a real prom. What more could you want from a book? The romance is thoroughly believable and beautiful, and you won’t be able to put the book down once you pick it up. A kickass story with a little romance. Definitely a good combination.
