Supernaturally by Kiersten White

Evie finally has what she's always longed for: a normal life away from IPCA. While she attends high school in Lend's hometown, he's away at college. With homework, a normal job, and a boyfriend that she only sees on weekends, Evie is surprised at how boring normal is. When IPCA tries to get her to come back and do some odd-jobs for them, Evie jumps at the chance to be special again. She is partnered up with Jack, a human who grew up in Faerie and can create the doors that allow them to travel easily from place to place. Behind Lend's back, she goes on missions for IPCA, each more disastrous than the last. Then Rend shows up, bringing with him information about Evie's past and the war that is brewing over her.

The pacing on this one was a little slower and I was disappointed with the lack of relationship between Evie and Lend. I still love Evie and all of her 'bleeping,' though! By the end, things read more like the first book and I am still eager for the last book, Endlessly, to be released July 24, 2012.

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

When Evie was 8, the International Paranormal Containment Agency (IPCA) realized that she could see through the glamours that paranormals cast and they immediately brought her in. She's been working for them ever since, bagging and tagging paranormals for neutralization. Her best friend is a mermaid who runs central processing, her ex-boyfriend is an extremely controlling faerie, and her mother figure is the head of her branch of IPCA, but what Evie wants more than anything is to be normal. When a strange boy breaks into their building, Evie finds him and stops him. She is fascinated with what she sees under his glamour: the boy looks as if he's made of water. Evie is fascinated and begins spending all of her free time with Lend. Then she learns that paranormals are being murdered and IPCA can't come up with an explanation. When she begins having dreams about a prophetic poem, she begins to wonder if maybe she's just as paranormal as the creatures she hunts.

Loved, loved, loved this book! Evie cracks me up because she's so girlie but also completely kick-ass. And the relationship that her and Lend build is so very sweet. Not to mention the surprise of finding out what she is and why Reth was being so hard core about forcing things on her... Reading the second one, Supernaturally, right now! Endlessly, the final book in this trilogy, is supposed to release sometime in 2012.
