 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.

Was it any good?

This was one of my favorite books of the year!  I thought it was absolutely fantastic!  I laughed out loud so many times while reading it, and it was wonderfully written and so refreshingly clean!  Blog Review
