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.

Moves like Buffy
as sung to Lyndsey by Evie, set to Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5
Do you see these scars?
I can go all night
You know in your heart
That you aren't right
I'll take you away
To the IPCA
Yeah, you better behave
You're in my control
So don't fight me

Don't you bite me

Well, I think you're a creep
I don't give a BLEEP
And it goes like this...

You ever read a first book that you just loved and had everything you were looking for: a good MC, no love triangles, action, suspense, not a lot of vanilla characters, was fun, and had an ending that wraps everything neatly with just enough strings left unattached that leaves a smidgen of mystery to rope you into the next book?
Well, for me, that was Paranormalcy, the first book in this series. I just loved it. Evie was smart, badass, had a funny voice, and really good character depth. I total...more

Supernaturally is just as great as the first book. And if you thought Evie was a hOOt then ya'll are gonna love Jack! Despite all things he's such a crazy-fun character who will have you laughing out loud the minute you meet him. And lets not forget about Lead, He's just as irresistible and adorable as ever.

ahhhhhhhhh yay another! i loved the first book it was so different from everything paranormal ive read it was amazing and a half! such a cute relationship between evie and lend please dont let anything happen to them! i love how evie got so excited over lockers in the first book hehe and how she carries around her taser (tasey)! loved!
5 SERIOUSLY SPARKLY STARS.
Oh, bleep! It was SO. GOOD.
Let me just say I was torn between reading at a crazy, feverish, I-am-consumed-by-this-book pace and slowing down to savor each delicious word and laugh-out-loud line.
As I ended up reading Supernaturally in 3.5 hours, I obviously opted to drink from the fire hose instead of sipping daintily from a tea cup.

This is such an awesome series! If you haven't read it... you need to do so NOW!
I love the brilliance of Kiersten White (she is BRILLIANT, people!!) and her witty one liners and hilarious antics.... Kiersten truly breathes life into Evie. If you enjoyed Evie's personality in Paranormalcy, have no fear, our girl is back and even better in Supernaturally.

Me and my best friend Tyler ADORE this series. White has such a way of evolving the glamours into thick descriptions, telling us about paranormals we haven't, or have heard about. Jack is hilarious, and absolutely adorable. Lend is..... starting to get boring, as much as I love him. And Reth is.... still up in Evie's face all the time.
I'm more than halfway through it, and can't wait to finish it. I adore this book, no flaws detected!

Meh. The first book of this series was not so bad but not exceptional either; this second one is more of the same.
I still can't stand Evie. She's whiny and pouty. She has no will of her own and is constantly dragged along by others, both metaphorically and physically. Her tastes and her speech patterns are supposed to be cute and endearing, but all they ispired to me was annoyance.

First off, I've got to admit that before I came to write this review I had to flick through the book again to remind myself of the events. Not a good sign, considering I only finished it just over a week ago. It's not that I didn't like the book. White is a decent author and the world she's created is exactly the kind of fantasy world I usually devour. But somehow, I find this series forgettable nonetheless.

I don't want to start this review negatively but the first thing that pops in my mind when I think SUPERNATURALLY is “not as good as the first.” While good, entertaining and fast-paced, there was something that was something that was lacking with SUPERNATURALLY that was infused throughout PARANOMALCY. This is a must-read though if you've read and enjoyed PARANOMALCY and if you haven't read the first book, what is stopping you??? Check out my review here. You will not be disappointed.

I have lost some respect for myself.
Why, you may ask? It's because I now have the shameful task of eating my own words. It's very degrading.
Anyway, the point of this wallowing is this: I now prefer Reth to Lend.
....crap.
If you're confused about why typing this makes me practically want to cry, see for yourself in my review of the first book. I mean, that's a lot of hatred to take back. I kinda wish the earth would swallow me up right now, my pride is so wounded.

One of the things I really liked about Paranormalcy was the fact that it wasn't all high schooly and filled with teenage angst. This book was the exact opposite..filled with these elements and irritating. Evie Green is not your typical teenager. She is the product of mixed heritage (of God knows what) and has spent her life basically imprisoned by the IPCA (International Paranormal Containment Agency). She has finally been freed and is attending a human school which explains the sudden teenage a...more

If you liked Paranormalcy enough not to care if it goes downhill quite a bit.
It's been a few months since the events in Paranormalcy. Evie is now a regular attendee at the local high school (with her own locker!), and working diligently away at getting into Gagetown (I think anyway, something with a G), the university where Lend attends. Her life, while still tainted by the supernatural, is now pretty normal. That is until supernatural beings start to attack her, her old boss wants her back working for IPCA, and a lovely new character takes on the role of comic relief, J...more

... eh.
I have to say, upfront, that Supernaturally left me feeling very... underwhelmed. I know that I really enjoyed Paranormalcy, but something just didn't quite do it for me with this one.
While the book definitely had its little funny, butt-kicking and saddening moments, I just didn't find myself hooked while reading.
The 'climatic' ending felt anything but, I saw it coming very early on. I mean... it was incredibly obvious.

Supernaturally is not as good as Paranormalcy was.
I loved Evie in Paranormalcy – really didn't like her much this time. The strong, kick-bleep female lead was replaced with a whiny, lying, annoying female lead. In the first book, she was great. Here? She makes a lot of stupid decisions, mostly regarding her relationship with Lend. Speaking of which, what happened? Lend lost so much of his charm, and his relationship with Evie fell flat.

This book is fun and energetic. Although I got upset with Evie and some of her decisions, sometimes I really don't understand why she assume stuff, just tell the true. I love Lend, my water boy! Really looking forward to reading Endlessly. Lets see how this story end. I had a lot of fun reading this book.

I absolutely LOVED Supernaturally! Kiersten without a doubt proved her remarkable writing skills in this one. She did a great (read: wonderful) job writing this. This was much more intense than Paranormalcy. I definitely can’t wait for Endlessly!!

I had read this before but went back and brushed up on it before I read the third part of the trilogy. I just like Kiersten White's style. Evie is just enjoyable to read about, as she deals with a life that is decidedly not normal. When you're on of the only people that can see paranormal figures as they truly are, life is full of surprises. Now, Evie is out of IPCA and living a 'normal' life in a town full of paranormals. Schools not quite everything she thought it would be. IPCA wants her back...more
I really loved this book. This book is the next one in the series and is a must read to know all about the story of Evie. She trys to live a normal life but her past always seem to get in the way. She trys to be safe but always seem to be in harms way. Her boyfriend Lend just went to college and vist every weekend. Evie is still having a hard time getting use to him not being around all the time. Evie has a very unusuly talent. She can tell you are a paranormal even if you have a glamor on. Also...more

Most books don't keep me up past bedtime. I'm one of those readers who can disengage from a story pretty easily when the old eyelids start to get heavy. But the last 100 pages of Supernaturally kept me awake into the wee hours.
The novel continues the adventures of Evie, a 16-year-old girl caught between two worlds - everyday existence as a high school student and her identity as a gifted "empty one" whose adventures in the paranormal realm are anything but ordinary.
