Disclosure: I received an electronic copy of the book in exchange for my honest opinion. This did not influence my opinion in any way.
Peacemaker by Eva Gerald
YA Fantasy/Paranormal Romance
Release date: July 28, 2013.
Maya Voland doesn’t want to spend her senior year in the cold, isolated town of Shine, Vermont. Reeling from the death of her father and the discovery that her life is a carefully constructed set of lies, Maya wants to escape to a place where she can be invisible.
The residents of Shine can’t let Maya leave. She’s too important to their cause. A manipulator by nature, Maya was born with an extraordinary ability to influence the emotions and actions of others. Shiners will go to great lengths to train her to use those gifts to further their agenda, before other, more sinister forces intercede.
Shea Knightly has been waiting most of his life for Maya to come back home to Shine. He, too, has powers of persuasion and he’s never encountered a girl who can say no to his stunning looks and overwhelming charm. He’ll pull out all the stops to bring Maya into the fold.
Now Maya must decide—is the intense attraction she feels for Shea reciprocated, or is he just feeding her more lies to draw her into the dangerous world of the Shiners? Even if there is something real between them, what price is she willing to pay to make his cause her own?

My Review
I think the YA/Paranormal romance genre has definitely hit its mark with Peacemaker by Eva Gerald. There is something for everyone. I’ll admit…I’m one of those bad people that judges a book by its cover. Shame, shame, I know. I almost passed on the tour because I didn’t know if I’d get into the book, seeing as how the cover didn’t really ‘speak’ to me. I decided to go for it, since the story sounded interesting enough. And boy was it! I absolutely loved reading it…I didn’t see parts of it coming. It was wonderful to learn about the possibility of remoting. The romance aspect was perfect and sweet.
