I love your cover! I think it's really sweet and alludes to the genre, which is very important. I love the font style for the title and appreciate that both the title and your name are legible and large enough for me to see. The colors mesh well together.

The blurb is a little vague. The questions that you pose in the first line don't really connect well to Eve's supposed demons. The mood I get from these questions is that she can't stand being around other people. Has something happened in the past to keep her blocked off from others? I don't think you have to go into a lot of detail, but there should be enough for us to understand the overall conflict, which isn't abundantly clear. Additionally, when she meets Noah, it says that she has the answers to life's questions, though the questions you pose aren't necessarily life questions. I would believe it more if it posed a question that alluded to an experience she had in the past, perhaps someone did something to hurt her and she questions why trust is hard to come by?

Other than that, the first paragraph is good. I just think you need to work more on the "life's questions" portion as there's a bit of a disconnect. This also ties into the final part of your blurb. What is the overarching conflict of the story? Is she learning to trust again? Is she learning to believe in love? It's not immediately clear so it comes across as a bit vague.

I don't understand what the stakes are, what the real conflict is, and what the consequences are if she doesn't succeed in uniting the two races. Think of it along this framework: [character] has to [action A] in order to [resolution].
