Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
5.0

I just wrote my whole review for this book, and went to save it and lost the whole thing! Not cool! Ok, I guess I will try again.

This book was fantastic! I seriously loved Paranormalcy! Everything was so well developed- the storyline, the characters/creatures, and the mystery. All of it was just incredible. It was such a joy to read. I really connected with Evie and I loved her instantly. I would be great friends with her, I just know it. She is so funny and spunky, and most of all she is strong. I do love a good, strong female lead. Evie is pretty awesome. Period. Plus the mystery surrounding her is pretty intriguing. I loved reading about it.

And speaking of awesome characters, I loved Lend as well. He was really interesting and extra adorable whenever Evie was around. I loved their interactions. I was rooting for them the whole time. They are just so darn cute whenever they are together. I love the vulnerability that Lend shows when he is around Evie. I want to see so much more of them in the next book, I can't wait!!

I also loved the variety of "paranormals" that were depicted in this story. There was really something for everyone! I loved reading about all the creatures and it was refreshing to see vampires shown in not a very nice light. That is pretty different than other books I have been reading. I know alot of people have really Liked Reth, but he just did not win me over. I have not read too many Fey books. In fact, this is only my second encounter with them and I have to say I liked Keenan from Wicked Lovely, much better. Reth did earn some brownie points with me towards the end, so I don't know. We will see what he does in the next book; I think I will reserve my judgment until then.

Amazing, wonderful, and all around great book. I need to read the second one ASAP! I can't get enough of Evie and her paranormal world! Love it!!

Well, this was not as good as my first review. I'm sorry for that.
