6 stars out of 5. This book was awesome! The only bad part was that it had to end :(
***********review may contain spoilers****************************

Evie is an orphan that was taken in by the IPCA. She is unique in the fact that she can see right through various paranormals' glamours. Her best friend is a mermaid and she works as an agent, bagging and tagging paranormal creatures, such as vampires, werewolves hags and the like. Shes just your basic 16 year old girl who longs to be normal, and rid herself of her formal flame, a fairy boy named Reth.

Her life gets disrupted when a strange boy (named Lend) breaks into the center and she tags him. He is unique in the fact he can change his glamours at will. One day hes a total hottie, the next a cute black guy, the next a dorky boy with pimples and glasses. But the strangest one is where he can duplicate the people around her, herself included.

Once they become friends, their lives get shaken when other centers get attacked and their employees all get killed. The IPCA goes on lockdown, and Evie breaks Lend out of the center. Knowing she can never return, she works with Lend to figure out the fairy prophesy, and how to save her own soul.

I enjoyed every minute of this book. It would make a really cool movie. The ending felt a tad bit rushed, but left it open for another book, which I am eagerly awaiting. This book had a great blend of paranormals. Fairys, shape shifters, mermaids, water spirits, shapeshifters, vampires and of course, Evie herself. Shes a sweet and vulnerable character and her blossoming relationship with Lend warmed my heart right to the core.
