Synopsis

Product Description When your world is paranormal, be glad that you're human... the exciting sequel to bestselling PARANORMALCY, loved by Becca Fitzpatrick, author of HUSH, HUSH. A lot has changed since Evie escaped from the International Paranormal Containment Agency with her shapeshifter boyfriend, Lend. She's no longer occupied with bagging and tagging paranormals to be monitored at IPCA's headquarters. Instead, she spends her days at school like a normal teenager, eagerly awaiting the weekends when Lend comes home from college and trying not to be killed by overly enthusiastic soccer players in her gym class. Evie's world, in fact, has become overwhelmingly normal. And Evie is shocked to realise that normal can be...kind of boring. Then Raquel appears, asking her to help out at IPCA again. As Evie dips back into her former life, she learns that things are changing in the world of paranormals, and never-before-seen supernatural creatures are popping up left and right. Evie also has to deal with IPCA's newest teenage recruit who has the power to open faerie doors and a nasty tendency to show up in Evie's room unannounced. But nothing prepares her for the reappearance of her faerie ex-boyfriend Reth, who hints that a battle is brewing in the faerie world. And the prize they're fighting over? Evie's soul. Oh, bleep. So much for normal.

Product Description
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.

The Supernaturally Playlist

In this Amazon exclusive playlist, author Kiersten White shares the tunes that best sum up her new novel, Supernaturally.

"Missing" by Flyleaf
I imagine this song playing for Evie when she’s feeling most down, worrying that whatever is missing inside of her will never be fixed.

"Oh, It Is Love" by Hellogoodbye
This sweet, happy love song has always been Evie and Lend’s song for me. When it comes to relationships, they both have this type of hopeful innocence.

"All I Wanted" by Paramore
Another song for Evie when she is feeling like everything is lost.

"Misguided Ghosts" by Paramore
A song about trying to find a place in a world you don’t feel like you’re really living in.

"Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri
I’ve heard from many people (and agree) that this is a great song for Evie and Reth’s past.

"The Drumming Song" by Florence + the Machine
The intensity and focused passion of this song makes me think of my darling Jack, along with the references to heaven and hell, a favorite theme of his.

"Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse
This is one of my favorite “Reth” songs, though he’d never bother listening to human music...

"I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab for Cutie
Another song for Reth and Evie’s relationship, evoking his feelings of inevitability when it comes to being with Evie.

"I Will Follow You into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie
This song lends itself well to musings on the realities of a mortal/immortal relationship. If you’re prone to musing about such things, which I am.

"Engines" by Snow Patrol
“I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin.” Another love song for Evie and Lend.

"Give Me Strength" by Snow Patrol
A song for all of the people in Evie’s life she realizes are her family.

"Give Me Strength" by Ingrid Michaelson
A very sad, sweet, aching song about trying to find your home.

"Firelight" by Snow Patrol
A song for dear, comatose Vivian.
