Paranormalcy by
Kiersten White is everything we all expected it to be. I knew I would
love it from all that I had heard about it, but never did I realize how
much I would LOVE it! Does that make any sense to you? No probably not.
My mind is going a million miles per hour trying to put together
complete sentences about how amazing this book is. Okay. Breathe,
Courtney. *deep breath*
Alright, I think I'm good to go on, now.
[The best way to describe this book is like this: (A tweet I sent to @NovelistLauren) A teen girl, Evie, works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency. She thought she was normal, but she isn't. Throw in a faerie prophecy and a hot shape shifter. Stir it together with some trouble... And you have the awesomeness that is Paranormalcy! :) ]
The storyline is different. It holds its own in this vast sea of copy cat books.
The
writing flows. You are constantly moving from one scene to another. No
where, do I believe, you were stuck thinking "When is this going to
end!?" Which wins a lot of awesome points in my book. If there isn't
rhythm in a story, I quickly lose interest. That was not the case here.
You
follow Evie. A teen who helps bag and tag paranorms for IPCA. Now, why
would she be doing that job? Well, Evie can see through a paranormal's
glamour. She can pick out vampires, faeries, hags just by looking at
them. Major asset to the Agency. But why does she have this ability?
The
characters keep you on your toes. Evie is fun and lively, but she is
contained to this one place and is getting to be antsy. She starts to
question why she is there when someone new enters IPCA. There is a
shapeshifter, he is hot, and he is turning around Evies life. Lend. His
background intrigues me. I loved learning about him and hope we can
learn more in the sequel.
There is a faerie vying for Evies heart, too. Reth. But don't let his beautiful face deceive you. I'm just saying.
My
favorite character of all, is Evies best friend, Lish, who is a
mermaid. She is a great friend to Evie. And she cusses by saying
"BLEEP".
The
ending throws you for a loop. A very good loop! I saw it coming, I had
an idea being conjured up by my imagination. But the real thing beats
out what I thought by miles!
If you love paranormals. If you love young love. If you love kick ass teen girls with pink tasers. READ THIS BOOK!
