Now that you are done reading what did you think?


Mary (marasu3) I'm eagerly anticipating the arrival of Supernaturally. :)

I really liked it. I was getting tired of reading all of the typical para-romance YA books full of "pretty" vampires or werewolves, this had a nice twist to the genre.

Amy Goggans | 8 comments Loved it! Can't wait for the next in the series


Lillian | 6 comments I really liked this one. It was refreshing to read about a heroine who isn't obsessed with the love interest. Lend was really adorable and sweet, NOT a super buff hottie/jerk, which was so wonderful. The taser was a nice touch. I cannot wait for Supernaturally.


Sonya I liked it! Can't wait for Supernaturally!


Shanella I bleeping loved it! Pretty much the same reasons as everyone else loved it. I loved Evie's voice as she told the story. Tasey was funny. That the author was not afraid of adding some sadness to the plot. That there wasn't a forced love triangle. That Lend wasn't a jerk... the list goes on =)


Jess (jessysbookends) | 27 comments It was ok. Evie had to much cuteness, and that doesn't help the character. But it was fun and probably I will read the next book.

Elisha Karr (elishakarr) loved it and just can't wait for the next


Kelsy (kelsythompson) I was cautiously optimistic about this book, but ended up loving it. The paranormal creatures were very believable. Evie was very much a typical teenage girl, Lend was adorable in a very down to Earth way, Reth was... very intriguing... I hope we learn more about him. I am very much looking forward to Supernaturally.


Ziggy (jubilantdusk) | 14 comments So I wasn't sure I was going to like this at first. I found the beginning to be rather cheesey, but I quickly decided that it was cheesey in a good way. I especially liked that most of the paranormals' abilities were treated more like quirks than straight up superpowers. It made them a lot more believable and easier to relate to. I will definitely be giving Supernaturally a shot.

I am glad this book has other paranormals then just vampires, werewolves, and zombies. I was so glad to see mermaids, hags, and water elementals. I just thought the author did a great job of making the first book it's own story and then leading into book two. I think too many YA books anymore use the whole first book to lead into the second so the first book never gets it's own story anymore. :(

I also like that Evie was fun. The pink taser, the prom dress, her first kiss, the mall... all teenage things! I liked reading about her. I love love how the word bleeping was used. I thought this added a perfect amount of comedy. Though I was sad the mermaid died. I would've liked to see more of her character later.

I do like the match up of two agencies. The IPCA and Lend's dads group (can't remember if they have a name?). I think this little face off will be great in future books.


Bianca (dizzybee) This book was great!! I am so glad it is fresh and new! I am glad personally that it was not just a paranormal romace. So many vampire and werewolf love lines have come out that are just a little to much for me. This book really used the paranormals in a more interesting way! I loved all the different types of paranormals and how each one was different. I like that Evie was a paranormal herself and I hope to learn more about what she was really supposed to do! I am glad she was here own hero and saved herself!! This book was the perfect mix of comedy and seriousness! Can't wait for the next one!!


Beckie (chikittie) | 18 comments I read the book last book and so loved it. I can't wait to read the next one!! :)


April (philiafelice) I loved this book.. it was so fun.. I loved it so much I had to make a little sims3 trailer for it..
I'm not trying to spam. Only look at it if you want. :) I just figured I would link it here since you are all discussing it. I'm at work, and youtube is blocked, so I had to link it through my blog.. but you can skip down past my review to see it. :)

I am currently reading Supernaturally, and it's great so far.. I was fortunate to win an arc.

Erin I loved it, maybe in a guilty pleasure way (since the writing wasn't that special). It was incredibly enjoyable. I felt like I was scarfing down three sticks in a row of cotton candy, in the best way possible.

I'm looking forward to the second book-- there are a lot of "mysterious" plot lines to get explained!


Candice (thecrj) I loved Paranormalcy, couldn't put it down. Immediately googled Supernaturally's release date. The writing was fresh and light, I didn't feel like I was ever bogged down by the story. Loved that the first pages drop you right in the adventure.

Evie was awesome! Her obsession with Easton Heights reminds me of my favorite TV shows/music/books and wanting someone to share them with.


April (philiafelice) I know there is a contest section to post this, and I will.. but I wanted all you paranormalcy fans to see this. :) so I"ll post it here too, since it's the sequel..

I'm giving away my supernaturally arc, Contest starts today, ends Wednesday! here it is. :) Very easy to enter.. not extra entry crap.. I just want to give it away to a lucky new reviewer! :)

Emily D (fallingforya) | 34 comments This book was so light that it was easy to enjoy. I do wish that more had happened though. I felt like there was too much set up and not enough plot. I understand it is part of a series but I think Paranormalcy would have been a better book if there had been more substance.


Stephanie (stephsco) This was such a fun read. Like a lot of other commenters, i appreciated a lighter take on paranormal. I loved that Evie has a sense of humor and has fun. The stakes are high for Supernaturally, I'm compelled to keep reading.
