Gr 8–11—Paranormals and Light Court Faeries want to return to their world. Evie is an Empty One and can make a gate that will let them through. When they try to force her to do so, she rebels, mainly because they tell her she must do it. She formerly worked for the International Paranormal Containment Agency (IPCA), and they apparently forced her to do things she did not want to do. Confused? For readers who are new to the story, it feels as though there is a secret club of vocabulary and references to previous events. The story is episodic, with Evie repeatedly making the same mistakes, and with her near-misses neatly resolved. However, the first two books have been popular and there will be demand from those readers for this book. It is a clean paranormal romance-Evie even says (somewhat annoyingly) "BLEEP" instead of any swear words, and the sex factor is very low, with only a bit of touching and a few stolen kisses. Purchase where the other two books are in high demand.—Angela J. Reynolds, Annapolis Valley Regional Library, Bridgetown, NS, Canada
Paranormals ask Evie (Paranormalcy; Supernaturally) to help them return to their realm. When the dark faerie court holds Evie's boyfriend hostage to prevent her from opening the portal, Evie must take on the Dark Queen herself to rescue (and then de-curse) him. Evie's struggles with issues of identity, morality, and love provide satisfying counterbalance to supernatural action and clever banter in this trilogy-ender.
