And, if you happen to read the synopsis, like I did, you'd notice that this novel seems to have it's own twist that sounds, well... captivating :)))

Captivate Me by S.J. PiercePublication 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. 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 vying 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.
Recommended for readers 16 and up due to mature content.

AUTHOR BIO:
Susan
James Pierce has a degree in Marketing Management, works for a Fortune
500 company in Atlanta, Georgia, and devotes her precious, spare time to
writing Fantasy and Sci-fi novels.
Even though her full-time career
has nothing to do with books at all, she has always enjoyed complex
storytelling with fascinating characters, and has had a penchant for the
written word since grade school. As a matter of fact, her
first publishing credit was a poem she wrote at the age of twelve. Why
her love for writing never translated into a career, she can only
attribute to 'life happens', but her wish is that she can redirect her
career path into something that satisfies her creative inner-self.
