PARANORMALCY by Kiersten 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. 

This book is said to be for grades 7 and up and is the first in a series.  




Rachel's Thoughts: I really liked this book! I had a hard time putting it down! It was such a unique idea. We have fairies, hags, vampires, werewolves, water spirits, gremlins, trolls and more. Unlike popular stories lately, she puts a bad spin on vampires as well as fairies. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy this book, I can't wait to get my hands on the next one in the series.I gave this book 4 bookmarks.

Lakela's Thoughts: I gave this book 5 bookmarks.

    I really loved this book!! So great :) Can't wait for Supernaturally!!

    Also, I wanted to share a site with you!! I noticed that you are "treasure hunting" for books to share with your daughter, I also know that sometimes you just can't keep up with everything they want to read, so if you ever wanted to look into a book you haven't read yet for her you should check out http://sites.google.com/site/parentalbookreviews/
    They tell exactly what content is in each book (cuss words, violence, sexual content, creatures, ect.) and they also read books based on parent request. It's a great resource for parents of teens!!

    Anyway, not trying to spam you or anything, I just though you might be interested and wanted to share!!!

    Thanks for the good review! Yes, "clean" writing and books are hard to find. It kind of depends on what parents/teens are objecting to or offended by, I think.

    Reading Angel~ Thanks so much for the advice. I'll definitely check that site out. Yes, she reads way faster than I can keep up!

    Carol~ I completely agree that what is "clean" can be different for every family. That's why I chose to simply write the negative and positive elements. That way a parent can decide on their own. For example, I don't care if my tween reads about vampires (whether they're portrayed as good or bad) but I know parents who wouldn't on any circumstance. Plus, each child is sensitive in their own ways to different things. :) So I am in 100% agreement with you. :)
