How does an unknown indie author go about getting book reviews?

[PeKeGallagher]

I self-published my paranormal YA novel Cerberus last month, and as I research marketing strategies, I'm reading over and over that getting ratings and reviews are key to the success of an indie book. I've reached out to a number of book bloggers, several of whom have agreed to review the book, but it's hard to tell when they'll actually get to it due to backlog. I know some people pay for readers to review their book, but I don't really have the funds for that. Does anyone have any suggestions for drawing in more readers and through that reviews? I would very much appreciate any and all advice.
Also, here's the book if that'll influence your suggestions: http://www.bookrix.com/_ebook-p-k-gallagher-cerberus-book-1-of-parish/
