Product Description: When your world is paranormal, be glad that you’re human…
Sixteen-year-old Evie has always taken comfort in the fact that she is normal, even though her best friend is a mermaid and her ex-boyfriend is a lunatic – and a faery.
In a world where paranormals are monitored and controlled, Evie works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency because of her unique ability to see through glamours. But someone – or something – starts killing vampires, werewolves and other paranormals, and Evie must figure out what’s happening before they all disappear.
Then a shapeshifter named Lend breaks into the agency, and Evie is irresistibly drawn to him, even though he makes her aware that the IPCA is not as noble as she once thought. With everything Evie believes suddenly called into question, the IPCA is attacked and she must choose who she can really trust.
And when Evie discovers she’s part of a faerie prophecy of death and destruction… so much for normal.
Review: I bleeping loved this book. Evie, the main character was such a nice, sweet and believable character. She had been through so much but kept on dreaming. Her life is far from the normal teenage life she dreams of having, she wants proms, boyfriends, high school, etc. But instead she work’s for the IPCA (International Paranormal Containment Agency), helping bag and tag supernatural beings, using “Tasey”, her custom made pink taser.
Having went through so much, being abandoned as a toddler and being put through the care system, she feels indebted to the IPCA for giving her a home. But have the got a hidden agenda…
Evie, loved being a girly girl, dressing up, shopping and makeup. Her best friend is a mermaid, who uses text speak to talk, which in turn bleeps out all swear words, and she had dated the odd fairy. Then she meets Lend, a shape shifter with a different. He’s sweet and they become good friends, which develops a little further. I enjoyed the fact that the romance didn’t take over this book, it was all about the action and finding out who the bad guys are. But the chemistry between there was clear. I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops.
The entire book kept you on the edge of your seat and left you wanting more and more.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the supernatural, paranormal genre.
I bleeping cannot wait for the next installment sequel, Supernaturally.

15th November 2010 at 12:54 am*spoiler*I did enjoy this novel very much myself, though I didn't feel a connection with the mermaid, so her death wasn't as meaningful as it should have been, imho.
