Captivate Me by S.J. Pierce4 StarsOk, so I am not really one to read or gravitate toward paranormal books but when offered to do a review for this book something made me decide to take a step out of my “smut” shell and go for it.  I am so glad I did because it did not disappoint!I’m not going to get into a ton of detail because I think it is worth you taking the time to read.  It wasn’t just your normal paranormal plot.  Because it involved teenagers the author also threw in normal everyday problems and issues that they actually deal with so it didn’t seem like your “typical” paranormal book.  It almost seemed normal.  If that makes any sense!So this book is about Kat and she is sent to a high school specifically for “gifted children”.  Now,  I don’t mean smart or above average IQ, I mean telekinesis, controlling the elements, being able to read people’s minds gifted.  Kat came here after an incident at her old high school where she absentmindedly used her powers and someone saw her. After her first two weeks here, things finally are falling into place and she has a small group of friends and a possible boyfriend.  She starts to think that being away from her family and being here might not be so bad after all.That is when the dreams start for her of a boy that she has never met before, as well as a weird pull she begins to have towards the woods that surround the school.  There is suspense when she finds out what or who is in the woods, what she really is and what heavy weighted decisions she will have to make.  Along with all this, is mystery, boys, first loves, dates and kisses with a little heartbreak as well.This didn’t end in a cliffhanger but I would definitely be interested in reading books to see what happens to this group in the future.  It was a fun read.
