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.

So much for normal.

Review:
Supernaturally was so dang cute!  And funny.  And definitely had some action.  What's Evie without some bag n' tags? 

Kiersten White creates the most loveable characters... Especially Evie.  She has that perkiness that most teenage girls have, she's super girly, and she's super funny.  She also happens to have the most awesomest boyfriend in the world, Lend.  He's still that same really sweet guy, but now he's kind of overprotective because Evie can be quite a handful...  White also introduces a new character.  Meet the new kid on the block, Jack.  Jack is hilarious.  He's kind of like a kid at heart, always jumping around, having fun, but something seriously unexpected happens that involves Jack... Which kind of made me sad because even though he annoys the heck out of Evie, he was becoming one of my favorite characters.

Loved the plot! It was really intriguing and went at an even, smooth pace.  Although I felt like most of it was concentrated on Evie adjusting to her life, along the way, she finds out some pretty stunning revelations about herself.  Towards the end comes the biggest twist.  It was definitely a shocker and kind of made my head spin for a moment.

Why a 4.5 out of 5 even though I really liked Supernaturally?  At first, I wasn't really sure of where it was going because most of the revelation-y stuff came at the end, and the beginning was mostly school, Lend, IPCA work, and Jack for Evie so I wasn't quite sure if there was going to be a main focus, but it eventually came along so everything worked out :D

Overall, Supernaturally was BLEEPIN' awesome!  Kiersten White wrote a great addition to the series and I love the characters that she created and the plot was pretty spectacular.  I definitely can't wait until Endlessly comes out!  I'm sure that it'll be even better.  Definitely can't wait for it to come out!!

Cover Review:
Love the cover.  It's a really pretty cover, with Evie posing in a field of flowers and a rather sinister looking background.  I think it's actually portraying a setting in the book, which you will realize is on the cover when you read it.
