What a cute book and a pleasant surprise! Paranormalcy is a refreshingly well written coming of age story about a sheltered teenage girl who just happens to live in a world filled with vamps, weres and other supernatural beasts. Whats that? You say that sounds just like every other YA book written these days? Well, yeah but what is so different about this one is main character Evie thinks for herself, solves her own problems and develops a sweet and healthy relationship with a guy who treats herYoung adult novels can be hit-or-miss for me. This one is kind of in the middle, because I quite enjoyed the story while being disappointed by the writing. There are so many good elementsEvie herself has great potential, as a teenage agent for the International Paranormal Containment Agency. But shes a teen, so she has teen concerns like forging an identity for herself, getting motivated to do school work, wondering if shell ever meet a boy, and trying to figure out what normal life is.Evies
Theres a scene in Vampires Suck (yes, my husband and saw it with a group of friends and exited the cinema a few hours later with a few less braincells). Vampires Sucks version of Mike Newton from Twilight approached the Bella character upon meeting her, threw an arm around her shoulder and said, Wow, you look pretty frigid and boring! Wanna go to prom?Despite the stupidity of this movie they managed to encapsulate, in one brilliant sentence, the biggest problem Ive had with the YA paranormal
I read this book because I was positive I wasn't going to like it. Which is odd, I'll admit, but I have a thing for ridiculous books. I'm not saying this book wasn't a tad ridic, because it was predictable as hell and what's the word I'm looking for... fluffy? When I think about this book I see a cute fuzzy pink bunny.Evie was pretty likable, but a bit too quirky in a cool way for somebody who basically lived in a modern version of a cave pretty much all her life. But her fashion sense sucks.
This novel had me hooked from the first page. I mean with an intro like this how can you not want to read the rest:Wait- did you-- You just yawned! The vampires arms , raised over his head in the classic Dracula pose, dropped to his sides. He pulled his exaggerated white fangs back behind his lips. What, imminent death isnt exciting enough for you?Oh, stope pouting. But, really, the widows peak? The pale skin? The black cape? Where did you even get that thing, a costume store? If that doesnt
I probably would've given a slightly higher star rating if there hadn't been so much damn hype around this book.Alright. I'm feeling pro/con-y today. I'm taking a break from pharmacology homework to write this, so I need to get back to that. And it's a football Saturday, I've got a Bud Light in hand, so my thoughts are less than structured.Pros:- The cover is pretty, even though I can't decide how it correlates to the story. - There is a seriously wide variety of paranormal creatures in this
Actual rating 2.5 stars. Let me start by saying that I didn't hate this book, but I also didn't love it either. It was cute, spunky, and funny. However, there was just something about it that annoyed me. So I've recently found out what a Mary Sue is. All this time I've been calling it "A la Bella-esque." Evie is most defiantly a Mary Sue. And I've come to the realization that I had a love/hate relationship with Evie the entire book. I thought she was really funny and down right silly at times.
