Supernatural Freak is a fast paced, action adventure novel that all has it all. This is a unique story involving a lot of different kinds of paranormal creatures and the imagination of Louisa Klein is just awesome. The creatures are so strange, but their descriptions so vivid that you can picture them so clearly in your mind.Robyn (Rob) Wise is a "Supernatural Freak". She has the ability to see ghosts, werewolves, faeries and witches and she can secretly speak the Faerie's language (but don't tell anyone). Strange things start to happen to Rob after she is booked to help heal a werewolf. From that night on, she is attacked non-stop and doesn't know why. Opening a cereal box, 3 dark genies pop out, not granting wishes, but trying to kill her.Walking to meet a Detective friend, she is awoken on the footpath by a stranger asking if she's alright. Apparently she passed out; Rob has been having visions and strange dreams and this is another one in broad daylight. A strange man in a bowler hat keeps appearing in her "dreams" and trying to show her things, puzzling them out, Rob is annoyed that she can't piece everything together.Rob receives a mysterious briefcase from a very famous politician; it contains strange items and an even stranger request. His son is in trouble and his hand is turning into a tree.  Not sure what is happening, Rob is going to investigate and this all seems to be part of the mysterious attempts on her life.With the help of her friends, a witch, a wizard, a shapeshifter,  a ghost and her Uncle Terry, plus Rob herself, the Supernatural Freak, they start their adventure into the unknown and to find out who is behind the killings, kidnappings and attempts on Rob's life.Will this motley group be able to solve the mystery? Save Rob from being killed? Save the little boy from turning into a tree?This was a fantastic read that has everything, action, adventure, humour, fantasy and paranormal creatures. There is a touch, just a tiny one, of romance, but it's certainly not the centrepiece. Robyn is such a strong woman heroine and the hilarious way she carry's on with her friends, is fantastic. The colloquial conversations used are such fun and so enjoyable to read that it is a definite page turner. I am extremely excited about this being a 4 book series and cannot wait for Supernatural Fog to be released.
