by S.J. Pierce
Publication date: April 1st 2014
Genres: Paranormal Romance, Young Adult
Synopsis:
“My mom had always told me – when you meet “the one”, you’ll know; they’ll captivate your heart the moment you lay eyes on them. I had always wondered, though, if my mom’s words of wisdom were finite – if they applied to everyone. Maybe those who had found their one great love were the lucky few, and maybe the rest of us would have to settle for less than earth-shattering.”Seventeen-year-old Kat Walsh is a Gifted – a human with paranormal abilities. With her mom a former Angel and her dad a dream prophet, it’s always been in her genetic make-up to be extraordinary. But, unfortunately for her, the world can’t handle the strange or unusual. So when she slips up and uses her powers at her high school in Ireland, the entire student body treats her like a freak – even the ones she thought were her closest friends.Broken, but hopeful for a fresh start, she allows her parents to enroll her in a boarding school buried deep within the forests of a small Colorado town. At Midland Pines, School for the Gifted, she feels as though she can finally be herself; she makes new friends and even has the attention of the most popular guy in school – Levi. Everything feels normal again… or does it?
Not long after her arrival, weird dreams of an alluring boy whom she’s never met surface during the night, and the eerie, shadowy trees encircling their school seem to call to her. As these disturbing, yet enticing developments intensify, other bizarre occurrences happen – students and staff turn up missing, and mystery visitors leave gifts while she sleeps. With all of these other things fighting for her attention, a desperate Levi has to fight even harder to keep her interest. But with the dreams of the attractive boy slowly captivating her heart, Kat has to make a choice – will she settle for ‘great’ Levi, or will she search for her elusive dream visitor, possibly stumbling across ‘amazing’?
From the author of the Alyx Rayer Chronicles, comes a refreshingly different Young Adult series with plenty of love, suspense, and a new take on the Paranormal.

REVIEW
Hello! Today we have state of the Book Review Captivate Me by SJ Pierce is one YA wrapped with a combination of paranormal and romance book. It was a light stroke, and according to their gender .
Our protagonist is Kat , a teenager with natural emotions of his age, but what differentiates it from others, is that she is a human with paranormal abilities , in this case telekinesis .
Because of this, I had to change her high school in Ireland aa small Colorado town . At Midland Pines, School for the Gifted . Where you will find a more unusual or strange guys like her, but of course with different " gifts" .
Change is finding it easy, is between people like her and not have to hide your skills, have new friends and a possible suitor. But strange events threaten this stability , and to top it off the guy literally " in your dreams " walks among these changes, and not forgetting the difficult adolescence .
I liked the story , for me it was light , with good management of the genus combined with the paranormal YA . The touch of mystery surrounding situations throughout the story turned out well and when the charming romance.
Not only have Kat , as I said initially , there are more kids with special gifts that stand out in some way or another .
Since it is the first book the focus is a little more meet Kat and delve into his world , and of course while you aside other characters. I liked Anna and I believe that as the story progresses each highlight their skills more deeply .
This beautifully structured and written , is clear and easy to read, Its protagonist is gradually evolving according to their age. That was one of its strengths, each character has that teenager sound you must have if you're going to write characters that age. In this story flows nicely .
The story is designed for a series and want to see what new surprises we have the following books, with the first delivery were parts of surprises and the ending was interesting , not what I expected , but it was fine.
Fluid , interesting, with a lot of potential to get more story elements that attract much attention . A new environment and characters that grabs you .
Wn recommended to read any time of day .. For those looking for a paranormal love story .
My 4 stars
