Weekly Spotlight - Paranormalcy


“Bud, my self-defense and combat skills teacher, was still trying to get me to learn knife fighting. "Silver knives! Painful and sometimes deadly to nearly all paranormals!"
"Tasey!" I countered. "Hot pink and sparkly!” 




Paranormalcy  
Weird as it is working for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, Evie’s always thought of herself as normal. Sure, her best friend is a mermaid, 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 still. Normal.

Only now paranormals are dying, and Evie's dreams are filled with haunting voices and mysterious prophecies. She soon realizes that there may be a link between her abilities and the sudden rash of deaths. Not only that, but she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.


So much for normal. 




Supernaturally
Evie finally has the normal life she’s always longed for. But she’s shocked to discover that being ordinary can be . . . kind of boring. Just when Evie starts to long for her days at the International Paranormal Containment Agency, she’s given a chance to work for them again. Desperate for a break from all the normalcy, she agrees.

But as one disastrous mission leads to another, Evie starts to wonder if she made the right choice. And when Evie’s faerie ex-boyfriend Reth appears with devastating revelations about her past, she discovers that there’s a battle brewing between the faerie courts that could throw the whole supernatural world into chaos. The prize in question? Evie herself. 





Endlessly 
Try as she might, Evie can’t seem to escape her not-so-normal past. And what was supposed to be a blissfully normal school break is ruined when a massive group of paranormals shows up at her house, claiming that Evie is the only one who can protect them from a mysterious, perilous fate.

The deadly war between the faerie courts looms ever closer. The clock is ticking on the entire paranormal world. And its future rests solely in Evie’s hands.


So much for normal.


With a perfect blend of humor and suspense, Endlessly is everything readers could dream of in a conclusion—and the unexpected twists will keep them guessing until the very last page.

My Review: Evie has the life she has been waiting for. She lives with her boyfriend Lend, goes to high school, and has the usual paranormal problems. She has just what she wants and now finds that being normal is just a tad boring. Evie takes each day one at a time and some days she wonders about IPCA. Soon IPCA arrives at her door with a mission, the only catch is, well there is none. This time she can do it on her terms, its all Evie's choice whether to help or not. Evie also gets to meet Lend's mom in this book. Lend's mom is different, you see she lives in the water. Lend's mom can not leave the water, but since she does know alot about paranormal's, she does agree to help Lend and Evie figure out just what Evie really is. With everything Evie now has on her plate, more news arrive. The faerie courts are at battle that can throw their world into some serious trouble.

My Review: Evie works for IPCA (International Paranormal Containment Agency). She thinks she is normal. afterall her best friend is a mermaid, her Ex is a faerie, her "guardian" runs IPCA and she is falling in love with a shape-shifter. Yep totally noraml. Everything is going fine, just another normal day of catching paranormals, until one of them catches her eye. Lend is a shape-shifter who has caught Evie's eye and they talk about anything and everything. She falls in love with Lend's world how going to school seems so normal and cool to Evie she wished she could do some of the normal things a teenager does. IPCA gets hit and the place is in chaos, and now is the time to escape. Evie releases Lend and they both leave together and head for Lends world. A world of normal. What they don't know is that their journey has just began and it is a hard one at that.
