Supernaturally (Paranormalcy #2) by Kiersten White

Book Summer (Via Goodreads): Evie finally has the normal life she’s always longed for. But she’s shocked to discover that being ordinary can be . . . kind of boring. Just when Evie starts to long for her days at the International Paranormal Containment Agency, she’s given a chance to work for them again. Desperate for a break from all the normalcy, she agrees.
But as one disastrous mission leads to another, Evie starts to wonder if she made the right choice. And when Evie’s faerie ex-boyfriend Reth appears with devastating revelations about her past, she discovers that there’s a battle brewing between the faerie courts that could throw the whole supernatural world into chaos. The prize in question? Evie herself.
So much for normal.

Book Review:
I had mixed feelings about this book before I even read the first page. I was really excited to continue Evie's adventure, but I was also worried about the "second book" syndrome. Turns out, I was right on both accounts. First off, let me just say that overall, I really enjoyed this book. Readers get to see another side of Evie. White did an excellent job of fleshing out Evie's character. I also enjoyed the evolution of Lend and Evie's relationship. I had read in another review that we don't see much of Lend this time around, and I think that is untrue. Lend is definitely a solid part of this story, but the main focus is on Evie. The supporting characters are just as great. I just love Arianna, and actually wished the was more of character in the story. I will admit, some of my favorite parts of this book are when Evie finds herself face to face with trolls, vamps, and other various paranormal creatures. I honestly wish there was more action to balance out the story a bit more. There was a lot of inner-reflection on Evie's behalf. It was fun reading about Evie trying to fit in at high school. The gym stories were the best! I guess overall, this book was rather entertaining, although it did fall short in a few areas. I am anxious to see where Evie's story goes from here. I am also sad that this next book will be the last in the series. You can check out my review of the first book in the series, Paranormalcy, here.

Favorite Quote:

"After a frustrating half hour, I finally caught sight of a glamored corpse head in the middle of a crowd waiting for the Ferris wheel. He had his arm around a pretty young thing in an incredibly weather-inappropriate outfit that showed off her very slender, very blood filled neck. She stared at him in that vapid, intoxicated way employed only by women under a vamp's control. Or the way I get sometimes when faced with cupcakes. 

Mmmm. Cupcakes." (p. 251)

Cover Art Commentary:
Love the colors! Warm and welcoming, a bit opposite of the first cover, which was dark and mysterious. This cover definitely sets the tone for the overall story.
