Paranormalcy by Kiersten White, 2010 Harper Collins
Evelyn has grown up finding and capturing Paranormals for the International Paranormal Containment Agency (IPCA)--making the world safe for humans like her. But is she really human? When Paranormals begin to die mysteriously and Evie's strange ability to see through their Glamours reveals something that could help, no one is listening. Her only hope is a Paranormal who can shape-shift.
The strange creature comes after Evie and her new friend, Lend, but they escape. Then the strange dreams she's been having begin to feature Vivian, the Paranormal who's been on a killing spree, and she reveals a strange connection to Evie.
Vivian wants Evie to join her as she travels the world and "saves" Paranormals from their imprisonment on Earth. Evie just wants to be normal, to enjoy her blooming relationship with Lend, to attend high school, to attend Prom! She must make her choice--join Vivian on her killing spree to form some sort of family or fulfill a mysterious Fairie prophecy without definite knowledge of what comes next.
Evie's tale is one of self-discovery--everyone else has a plan for her life, but she must realize her own dreams and fight for them. And not only does someone else hold the reins to her life, Evie doesn't even know what she is. The language and content of Kiersten White's Paranormalcy are suitable for nearly any age group, but a suggested audience is fourteen years or older.
