After Reading: Supernaturally
by Kiersten White
A lot has changed in the six months since Evie escaped from the International Paranormal Containment Agency with her shape-shifter boyfriend, Lend. She finally has the blissfully normal life she’s always dreamed of, including:
1) A real live high school
2) A perfectly ordinary after-school job
3) Her very own locker (and by the way, rusted metal is every bit as awesome as she imagined)
But Evie’s not-so-normal past keeps creeping up on her...and things get pretty complicated when you factor in:
1) A centuries-old, seriously decaying vampire stalker
2) A crazy faerie ex-boyfriend who is the perpetual bearer of really bad news
3) A major battle brewing between the faerie courts where the prize in question happens to be...Evie herself.
So much for normal.
I'm just going to come out and say it: I love Evie. Like, adore her, really, wish she were real, etc. Which is a little strange, possibly, but these books really make me like her :) Plus, they're just a whole lot of fun. It was great to get to learn a bit more about what's going on with Evie, and how her role in the Grand Scheme Of Things is working out. Or at least supposed to. On top of that, I think White really taps into totally authentic teen (and just plain human) emotion with Evie and the other characters. I totally felt for Evie more than once in the book, and understood where she was coming from. To top it off? Love the covers. Honestly--so pretty! (And I don't normally like people face-on in covers--go figure.) Okay, this was another great read, and I am going to say that if you haven't checked out this series yet, DO!
