This book was recommended too me, and I must admit that I put off reading it for a bit. It seemed to be something everyone else was reading and I was worried it was just a big deal over yet another 'supernatural' young adult book. BOY was I wrong!


Paranormalcy is the story of a young 16 year old girl named Evie who has no idea just how special she is. She has a gift that no other person has and is always kept in the dark by those who are meant t0o be caring for her. As Evie starts to learn more about herself and the world she is in, she is left questioning everything she was ever taught.

Evie is one of those characters that I really loved! She is sassy, strong, brave and yet has her flaws. She fears things, she doubts and she questions. She is a character I easily related too.

Lend is her knight in shimmering armour and he is without a doubt a sexy great partner for for Evie. Lend keeps her grounded and believes in Evie in a way no one has before. He doesn't jump to conclusions and is often the one to remind her that there is always other options. Evie has lived in a black and white world but soon discovers there are a lot more colours, sides and options, and with the help of Lend she is able to adjust and grow.

I loved this book! I loved that it is a first in a series and a brilliant new idea when it comes to the Young Adult Paranormal genre. The language is fun, fast and witty. The characters are strong, bold and new and the idea for this story is without a doubt brilliant.

The only thing that stopped me giving this book a solid 5 out of 5? The cover. I feel it doesn't match 100%. I am not sure how it could be fixed but that would be the only issue I had.

Pick this book up guys! It is brilliant and worth all the hype it is getting!
