Ok, so unless you've been living under a rock you've probably heard all about PARANORMALCY
by Kiersten White. The truth is we've been stalking Kiersten for a long, long time now. Yeah, we follow her hilarious blog and we turn green with envy every time she posts a witty tweet. Kiersten pretty much rocks and while we'd really like to hate her because she's so funny and talented and her debut novel is generating a crapload of buzz, she also happens to be very, very nice, so it's pretty much impossible NOT to like her. Hmph.

totally lives up to all the hype.
Here's what the back cover has to say: 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.
LiLa's Take:
Evie is SO much fun. She's hot, relatable AND she knows how to kick some vampire ass. What's not to love?
I don't want to give too much away here, but PARANORMALCY is a completely fresh take on paranormal YA. It kind of flips the whole genre on its head and Kiersten's light and engaging style makes this a REALLY fun read. And the romance...sigh...let's just say there are good boys and bad boys and the whole thing is very dreamy/steamy. Loved.

Read it now and tell me that you're not dying to pre-order. Just add it onto your Mockingjay order. There's still time for pre-order prices AND free shipping.

Thanks girls,

Wow 70 pages online huh? That's pretty smart.
Fav book I've read this year. LOVED IT!
And I was just starting to think about fishing around for YA reading recommendations. Perfect. :)
I'm just glad I pre-ordered through B&N and can get it the day it comes out so I can jump right back into it where the sneak preview left off. (Or just re-read those first seventy pages because they're that engaging.)
I just finished this about an hour ago and I LOVED it! So much fun! :-D And how much do I love Evie?
Sounds great. I'm up for this one. I'll add it. :)

I LOVED this book!! And I felt the same way, sort of hoping that Kiersten was a snob or mean or something--I mean, seriously, is it possible that a brilliant, entertaining writer could also be sweet and kind? It's too much to handle. For real.
Oh wait, there's also you guys. Man, this is too much. Too much fabulosity embodied. It's a world I just don't understand. I need to go watch some Jersey Shore or something. Or Paris Hilton. It's not that I don't love how great you all are--it's that it tilts the balance of nature. Super writers cannot also be super people. Tell me you at least have humps on your backs.
Yup--it's official, I'm starting this one tonight. I don't care that I have other things to do. Must. Read. NOW! :)
Great review guys. :)
The first 70 pages were awesome. I had to fight myself from going into a corner and crying because it ended too soon. I need more!!
I can't wait for this one! :)
SQUEE!! I read it too! I won an electronic ARC and it was AWESOME!
This sounds like a good book. Just the kind of thing I'd enjoy reading. :)
I LOVED this book, too! Such a fun, entertaining read. Thanks for the review!
oooh fun!! I need to get this one. :)

I read the first 70 pages this morning. Now I can't stop thinking about it and freaking over having to wait 11 days to find out what happens.
This is going to be my favorite this year, I've loved a few so far but I can tell...this is the one. Of course, next year will be Liar Society.lol
Great review! Thanks LiLa!
LOL. I've already preordered it!!!!
So I'm not even going to look at the first 70 pages until I get the book.
I met Kiersten in LA. She's made of adorable. :D
