The first book of this series, I read in one day, I couldn't put it down. But for this book, I took my time with, but enjoyed it just as much!
I love the main character in this book! She's the perfect blend of strength, sarcasm, silly, and logic to be understandable and still make for an interesting read with all the mistakes and unlucky situations the author puts her up to!
I really liked the visuals that the author put forth in this book, as well as the characters she creates. Her ideas are truly unique, and creates an interesting setting for her characters and their surroundings.
If you like LJ Smith's writings, or The Mortal Instruments series, you should give this book, and it's predecessor, a try.

El segundo libro es sencillamente espectacular. Nos da un panorama más abierto de todo lo que está pasando. Entendemos mucho de los personajes y logramos empatizar con todos. Es el puente perfecto con un crescendo magnifico.
I didn't like this one as much as I liked Paranormalcy. It was still enjoyable, but Evie spent too much time being the hopelessly in love teenager, which was annoying. Still, it set things up for a very interesting book 3.

Wow. I really should've reread [b:Paranormalcy|7719245|Paranormalcy (Paranormalcy, #1)|Kiersten White|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1302502265s/7719245.jpg|6949381] before I started this.
Kiersten White did very little review at the beginning of SUPERNATURALLY, which lead to a very confused Hayden.
This was me:
I was trepid going into this book. Previous Goodreads reviews shattered all sense of hope I had of this being a good sequel. They said the characters fell flat (specifically Lend) and it suffered from being the middle book in a trilogy. I think those reviewers were wrong, at least in my sense of the experience of reading it. The beginning of the book may have been pretty slow, but once you got going you didn't want to stop. The only thing that stopped me from continuing and finishing this book last night was my need of sleep. I woke up this morning with the book overturned and my bookmark right underneath my hand.
SUPERNATURALLY did have its fair share of differences from PARANORMALCY, a big one being Evie isn't cooped up in the IPCA every minute of every day like she was for the majority of the first book (or at least what I can remember of it). Lend spends most of the time in SUPERNATURALLY away at school, and he seems to take the backburner in this installment, which I don't really mind. A new character is introduced in the book, as well; his name is Jack, and he's a kinda-human that has access to the Faerie Realms. He's really obnoxious, loud and blond, which makes for great fun in Evie's world. At a certain part in SUPERNATURALLY, I was thinking Lend was out of Evie's love triangle and Jack had filled his part, or maybe she'd made it a love rhombus.
For those who have read the book (or those who haven't, but don't mind a minor thing being spoiled), my favorite part of SUPERNATURALLY is when. I think that scene is very intense and dark, and it brings a whole new wavelength to the Paranormalcy Trilogy. I'm really liking the direction the plot is going.
The reason I said I should've reread PARANORMALCY before reading this is because I forgot who some characters were (Vivian, especially), and I forgot what happened in the climax. Gradually, I began to understand more and more as it went on and the characters reviewed it for themselves, but I would've liked to know it beforehand. I have a feeling I would've had a better experience with SUPERNATURALLY had I reread its predecessor.
Overall, SUPERNATURALLY earns a solid 3.5 stars, because I felt the beginning was slow and the ending was rushed (you can just tell when the author can't wait to finish). The storyline is complex, and like Kiersten said, it's very character-driven. In my opinion, Lend doesn't fall flat, but he's as strong and supportive as ever, Reth seems to toughen up as well and become even more intimidating, and Evie is just as spunky as she was in the introduction to PARANORMALCY (entitled OH, BITE ME).
(The Acknowledgments section of SUPERNATURALLY is a riot!)

Lying to everyone does not make compelling story. It’s an interesting world with interesting character characters but come on there has to be a real plot somewhere. I gave up a little more than halfway through and so far the plot is she’s lying to her boyfriend, her boss, her surrogate father, her best friend, her other best friend, her boyfriend again, her surrogate father again. Then there’s a slight pause where people are keeping secrets from her her father possibly her boyfriend some stranger dude that shows up then it’s right back into her lying to boyfriend best friend other best friend boss slight pause where her boyfriend discovers her juicy secret that she’s been lying and then it’s right back to lying to everyone else.
Well i was very excited to get this book, it had been a while since I had read the first so I wanted to see what was gong to happen!!! It started a little slow but that did not last long at all, the story picked up fast and got interesting! I was upset not to see as mush Lend in the book as I hoped but was nice to see him! Evie had an interesting new life in this book, she was faced with many new threats and as always went head on and I loved it. I was a wrapped up in the story and was surprised at all the exciting things going on, every corner was something new!! It's a must read and you will not be disappointed!
Did not love it like I did with Paranormalcy, but I still enjoyed this sequel. I definitely still want to know what happens next!
I like this although I didn't like that Lend was gone at college and that Evie was lonely.
Also I did not expect that from Jack.
Either it was a good read.

This book was nowhere near as good as the first book. It was worse. The first book was so amazingly written, had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time. In Supernaturally, I had none of that. There is a small cliffhanger that the book was left on. Hopefully the third book is way better. 2.5 stars. :(
