![]() ![]() Between fending off unusual attacks from paranormals and her worries about her future with Lend, Evie’s busy with a lot more than homework. Jack acts a bit more like a kid with ADHD and no adult supervision, and he bugs her but she still prefers having his help to that of Reth, the faerie who still wants her to essentially “fulfill her destiny” with the powers she has. ![]() ![]() This time, she’s assisted by a strange young man who’s human but can move through the faerie realms. Plus, she finds herself going back to work, at least on her own terms, for IPCA. Right away in this second book of the series, she starts facing unusual paranormal threats and finds herself having to use her skill of taking some of their soul, which she really doesn’t want to do, given what she saw and experienced in Paranormalcy. But her background and the fact she’s not fully human keep her from being able to just relax and enjoy this new life. She’s going to high school, taking P.E., using a locker, getting to spend time with her boyfriend (when he’s home on the weekends from college). Evie has gotten her wish, at least for a little while, to live mostly like a “normal” teen. ![]()

It’s a tricky question – for many readers, reference to the pandemic is the last thing they want to read in a genre they read in order to escape others want more realism.

However, the motif takes on a much darker undertone when it is revealed that Don Manuel is not simply admiring the lake's natural beauty, but rather fantasizing about committing suicide. Don Manuel is also shown frequently gazing into the lake. ![]() The lake plays a large role in shaping the villagers' superstitions, including a rumor that beneath the lake's surface lies an ancient, sunken village.
