If you have a kid who needs something new to read or just want a fun piece of fiction for yourself, go find a copy and enjoy. It is the perfect blend of light and dark. All while in a world where vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural ghouls exist while narrated with the sass and attitude that only a teen can delivery. The beauty of reading this story through the lens of a sixteen-year-old is you get to witness her struggle with complex issues like bias and prejudice and age-old tropes of fitting in and not belonging. definite winner for supernatural teenage fiction. Evie soon finds herself working with a shapeshifter to figure out why so many paranormal are suddenly dying and fighting to find a way to stop it. PARANORMALCY is a tale of a teenage girl who works for an agency that tracks down and controls paranormal creatures. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Kiersten White has become a go to author for me after reading Hide and Mister Magic, so when I found myself wanting an easy fun book that would refresh me after a couple of hard days, PARANORMALCY fit the bill…. That is what I was feeling when I decided to pick up a copy of PARANORMALCY. Sometimes you just want a quick fun read to erase the stress of a day (or adulting).

The emotions and struggles of the characters typically resonate with my inner angsty teenage self and I are transported back to times that are simpler, where I nostalgic moments like first kiss, related frustration with the restraints of an adult world, and other experiences that are new to a young individual but that have become commonplace for us adults.

For me YA books are fun, easy reads that whisk me away to another time in life. Some people don’t understand the lure of YA fiction for adults.
