In Paranormalcy, did you enjoy ...

... Evie’s sparkly snark, pink-taser humor, and banter-laced monster-policing?

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

If Evie naming her taser “Tasey,” censoring herself with “bleep,” and quipping her way through IPCA busts made you grin, you’ll love the breezy wit of Hex Hall. Sophie Mercer lands at a reform school for paranormals where her roommate is pink-loving vampire Jenna and her flirt-nemesis is the maddeningly charming Archer. It’s the same fast, funny voice and supernatural shenanigans you enjoyed while Evie juggled Lend, Reth, and IPCA drama.

... a hidden paranormal world intersecting our modern one, with teens pulled into its secret organization?

City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Loved how Evie works for IPCA, seeing through glamours and policing what humans can’t? In City of Bones, Clary stumbles into the Shadowhunters’ secret war after a nightclub demon encounter, discovering a whole infrastructure (the Clave, Institutes) behind the mundane world—very much that IPCA-behind-the-curtain vibe. As Clary partners with Jace to navigate betrayals and demon hunts, you’ll get the same urban-fantasy rush that started when Evie dragged a shapeshifter “intruder” named Lend into the Center.

... an intimate, first-person teen voice uncovering the truth behind a paranormal institution?

The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong

If Evie’s close-up, first-person narration—clocking every quip and panic while IPCA’s secrets closed in—hooked you, The Summoning delivers that same inside-your-head immediacy. Chloe tells her story from within Lyle House, a “treatment center” with an agenda, piecing together her necromancy and the conspiracy around her. It scratches the same itch as Evie chatting with mermaid friend Lish, interrogating Lend in the Center, and realizing the people in charge aren’t telling her everything.

... a swoony, slow-burn romance woven through a supernatural identity crisis?

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand

If Evie and Lend’s trust-building romance—growing between interrogations, disguises, and prophecies—was your favorite thread, Unearthly hits that tender, patient note. Clara’s part-angel calling tangles with a choice between the steady warmth of Tucker and the pull of Christian, all while she pushes back against a destiny others try to script for her—much like Evie refusing to be defined by faerie meddling or IPCA expectations.

... a teen heroine grappling with faerie politics and prophecies while choosing her own path?

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

If Evie’s entanglement with the fae—Reth’s manipulations, ominous prophecies about what she is, and the cost of being an ‘Empty One’—pulled you in, The Iron King offers a richly fae-centered counterpart. Meghan Chase is dragged into the Nevernever, navigating the rival courts with Ash and Puck while refusing to let faerie rules decide who she becomes. It channels the same coming-into-power arc that carried Evie from IPCA asset to someone who defines herself.
