Gwen Reaper by Jaz Primo
Blurb:
Winner of the Paranormal Romance Guild’s Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Young Adult Novel of 2012!
Sometimes small towns and their secrets are better left alone.
Even after moving from the big city to a small town, Scott still has it all. He’s got a starting spot as a defensive safety on his high school football team, good grades, an almost new SUV, and his choice of a host of cute girls to date. Then Gwen catches his eye, and everything gets strange fast. Suddenly, people start doubting his judgment, warning him to stay away from the attractive, yet painfully shy girl with the dark past; a girl nobody likes. But Scott was a stubborn guy who didn’t take no for an answer.
Read what happens when things go from strange to worse!

Here’s a teaser…
Taking a detour from his beloved “Sunset Vampire” series, author Jaz Primo offers up a fast-paced, award-winning story for young adults of all ages.
Scott's sure he'll lose everything he's worked for when his family suddenly decides to move after a family tragedy. But he soon realizes that there are some surprising benefits; and a mystery.
A girl, painfully shy, with a dangerous pet, and a dark past.
As trust is earned, secrets are shared, and powers revealed, until Scott is drawn into a love, and a world, he couldn't have imagined.

Gwen Reaper's a KEEPER!!
September 25, 2012
Seriously...what's not to
love about this book?!? It's unlike any other I've read so far! Jaz is
amazing at balancing action, fun, love, surprise, laughs, & mystery!
If you're looking for something completely different & exciting
this would be for you!
Truly terrific! It was so not what I expected (in a good way)! Not to mention a gorgeous cover!!!!
Scott Blackstone is just a normal teen trying to deal with what life throws at him....or is he??? I'd say most certainly not! This is one outstanding mature young man who refuses to let the craziness around him decide his final outcome! His POV made for a wonderful story! He's uprooted to a new home, new school, new town where he finds much more than he ever expected proving that life is indeed fickle! :) There are lots of great characters throughout the story, but I really liked Gwen & her Mom too! They are sure to have more awesome stories to come! ;•) I look forward to reading more soon!

An excerpt from
What made you decide to write a YA novel?
The story idea and characters for Gwen Reaper was tucked away in the back of my mind for a couple of years before I decided to write it. As my first journey into YA, it was fun and challenging and I had to immerse myself into the minds of modern day teenagers. I’m excited about the resulting novel. A number of both teens and avid YA readers have told me they find the characters authentic. In addition, Gwen Reaper received the Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Young Adult Novel of 2012 by the Paranormal Romance Guild!
