I was surprised at how much I found for this book.

I like all the Evies.

I love the one with Evie and her mermaid friend. Good times!

Which is your favorite?

Endlessly

From Goodreads:    Evie's paranormal past keeps coming back to haunt her. A new director at the International Paranormal Containment Agency wants to drag her back to headquarters. The Dark Faerie Queen is torturing humans in her poisonous realm. And supernatural creatures keep insisting that Evie is the only one who can save them from a mysterious, perilous fate.

The clock is ticking on the entire paranormal world. And its fate rests solely in Evie's hands.

So much for normal.

My Thoughts:

-    I like the color use on the cover!  The purple is pretty.

-    Disaster strikes in the first 100 pages!  The book really takes off in the beginning, and it never really slows down!  It is great!

-    I liked this one WAY better than the second.  There was more going on.  It was a great wrap up to the trilogy.

-    Evie's Christmas present to Lend was lame!  I would like to know what Lend got Evie.  He still owes her.

-    Lend and Evie's relationship was better in this book.  I got a little upset with them in the second book, but it all came together.  It got a little mushy, but most of it was fun to read.

-    This was filled with humor!  I laughed at so many things.  I loved Vivian's character.  She cracked me up.  I especially loved how she made fun of Lend and Evie at the end!  

-    I feel for Reth.  I feel bad for the guy.

-    I wish there had been an Epilogue or something.  It would have been nice to see if life went well for everyone, and if Evie's life was finally "normal". 

-    Overall, this was a fun and humorous read!  It was a great ending to a fun trilogy.  I look forward to more books from this author! 

Supernaturally

Goodreads Synoppsis:    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.

My Thoughts:

-    I can relate to Evie's rebellious side.  When someone pushes me in one direction, I want to do the exact opposite!

-    How the heck to you pronounce Grnlllll?  What kind of name is that?

-    Evie makes all sorts of bad decisions in this one!  Seems like a theme in second books.  

-    The unicorn bit made me laugh!  I loved it!

-    I also loved the part where they mock Twilight!  SO HILARIOUS!!

-    Evie is a tad too dramatic in this one.  Everything is just TOO MUCH!!  wah!  I'm glad she gets a kick in the butt and comes to her senses in the end.

-    We get to see a new character in this one.  Jack was annoying yet funny.  I couldn't decide if I hated him or liked him.  I think I know now though ;)

-    I feel like Reth is really misunderstood.  I kinda like the guy.

-    I really liked that we got to know more about Evie and where she came from and what she is. 

-    This one wasn't as good as the first.  Paranormalcy was so funny and a great read, but this one was lacking in the story area.  I wish there had been more evil plotting, and less worrying about relationships and making dumb decisions.  

Paranormalcy

Goodreads Bit:    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.

My Thoughts:

-    The book is filled with humor.  I love Evie's descriptions of the paranormals.  It cracked me up every time!  The Little Mermaid thing was really funny.  I completely agree, and I think I might have to dedicate a blog to Ariel one day.  I also like the sigh interpretations, such a teenage girl thing.  

-    Evie was a very believable teenage girl.  I really liked her (except for the pink).  She was a fun character.  I felt like was reading a tv sitcom, like Sabrina the Teenage Witch or something. 

-    Reth reminded me of Arial from Eyes Like Stars.  I like Arial much better though. 

-    The book is a very clean read.  I was really impressed and happy about that.  I loved how the characters said "bleep" in place of curse words, so funny!

-    This is a very refreshing take on the paranormal genre.  I liked it.  

-    It was like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Hellboy meets Eyes Like Stars meets Gallagher Girls.  

-    The romance got a little mushy for me, and I kinda felt like "oh brother."  

-    The ending was good, and there wasn't a cliffhanger.  There are still things left undone, but I got some closure.

-    There were a few bits that were annoying, but overall it was a good/light/fun read.
