Paranormalcy



"Evie’s always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she’s falling for a shape-shifter, and she’s the only person who can see through paranormals’ glamours.

But Evie’s about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.

So much for normal." -- Amazon

In the sequel Supernaturally, Evie finds that normal life is boring after her exciting life at the IPCA as well as finding herself in yet another Faerie plot.
