You know in your heart

I'll take you away

Yeah, you better behave
You're in my control

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 de More...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 More...

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

Evie's journey to not only discovering herself but how exactly she fits into the IPCA and the, well world, is taken to all new heights with a new cast as well as some old favorites!

While I enjoyed Paranormalcy immensely, Supernaturally left much to be desired. Although I did enjoy the book, it just seemed a bit sloppy compared to the structure of Paranormalcy.
In Supernaturally the main focus is really just about Evie and her new "normal" and Center-free life. While there is a major conflict, it almost seems like White planned to have an epic climax, but forgot to weave in the elements around the Evie's-normal-life plot that would allow for a dramatic c More...

Oh, Evie, how I missed you. She has such an awesome voice. She's not afraid to be herself, that is, her vampire butt-kicking, caring self. I love that she'll just sit down and have conversations with vampires and trolls instead of running the other way and screaming or automatically pulling out Tasey. For all Evie's awesomeness, though, she is quite insecure. That's a perfectly good flaw for a sixteen-almost-seventeen-year-old though! She's not running around being moody like most paranormal gir

ZOMG, I love Kiersten White's Paranormalcy series! I just devoured the second book, and it was so much fun. Like: laugh out loud funny at parts. And let's face it: YA can be heavy with heavy sometimes. Ok, a lot of the time. There's lots of family members dying and betrayal and violence and sadness in YA lit. Did you read the last Hunger Games book? It's like a non-stop PTSD trip, only barely able to breathe before something else horribly traumatic happens.
