While I have boycotted YA novels for a few months,I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Evie wasn't a whiny brat found in other books.Read it in one sitting,was really good.
This sequel was a good read, but I preferred the first one. This story tended to be a little too teeny for me. There was plenty of high school teen dialogue and drama. I enjoyed reading more about Evi and Lend, along with the other supernaturals. Although I have to say I was a little disappointed with Evi, not realizing something I picked up fairly early in the story. I enjoyed reading about the history of some of the characters (won't give details, don't want to spoil the story).
One of the things I really liked about Paranormalcy was the fact that it wasn't all high schooly and filled with teenage angst. This book was the exact opposite..filled with these elements and irritating. Evie Green is not your typical teenager. She is the product of mixed heritage (of God knows what) and has spent her life basically imprisoned by the IPCA (International Paranormal Containment Agency). She has finally been freed and is attending a human school which explains the sudden teenage agnst. In between her struggles in gym glass because other than English, this is apparently the only class she is taking, we get to meet Jack, a new paranormal who is helping the IPCA. Jack is a funny, if irritating to Evie, person-thing who transports Evie to specific destinations to contain paranormals for IPCA. We also visit with Lend, Reth, Vivian, Raquel, David and Arianna...who should be recognizable from the first book. All in all another good installment in this series. A lot of things are cleared up and many new issues are encountered. Where will IPCA take Evie next? Will Evie and Lend stay together if they attend different colleges? What will happen to Jack and all the Faeries? Will Vivian finally die or stay in a coma forever? Is Nona a good paranormal or will evidence show she is working for the enemy? Just a few questions I have at the completion of book 2.
