Alienated by Melissa Landers
Release Date February 4th 2014
Interplanetary relations have never been more exciting! The first in a funny, romantic YA sci-fi series.
Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them.
Handpicked to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.
Still, Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.
But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class.
Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.

Why I'm Waiting?
Gorgeous cover and human falling in love with an alien that has ulterior motives for her planet?!!! 2014! :-( Sadly we have a long wait but it sounds great! I was such a huge Roswell fan so I still love anything alien.

I like this one. Not so found of the Sci-Fi genre, but this doesn't sound too over the top, so I'm gonna give this a shot. Nice pick! Thanks for stepping by my WoW and sharing!
ReplyDeleteI loved Roswell as well. Max was very charming if a bit stubborn at times. Love the cover for this one it's so colorful and eye catching. Shame we have to wait so long until it releases.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My WoW and sharing yours!
I can't wait for this!!!! It sounds freaking awesome.
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever
Wow this seems amazing, Jessica. I don't think I've ever heard of a Rom-Com/Sci-Fi! That is just so cool! I added it to my goodreads. And *sigh* Aelyx sounds so swoonworthy. I know this is hard to believe, but there was a time I thought Alien books were just plan weird... and then I read Obsidian! It definitely proved me wrong, so much so that now, every time I see a book about aliens I go berserk. Anyway... wonderful pick, Jessica! <3
ReplyDeleteI am dying for this book too!! It sounds so good. I love the cover also. It's very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if this one is going to be funny or scary or romantic or what… So I will wait to hear what you say :)

ReplyDeleteHi, Jen!
ReplyDeleteI'm a long-time SF fan and Trekkie, so I ADORE aliens!!! (Especially one gree-blooded Vulcan I know, lol.) And I love the fact that this book combines science fiction with romance!!! Of course, that cover is what first pulls readers in. GORGEOUS.
Anyway, this is another one for ye olde TBR list at Goodreads!! Thanks for featuring it!! :)
