Alienated by Melissa Landers
4 stars
Before I even started reading this book,
I was mesmerized by the cover. It is
beautiful and really different from anything I’ve seen in the Young Adult
genre. Two years ago aliens made contact
with Earth and are beginning a trial exchange program in order to promote
unity. Cara, class valedictorian and all
around motivated person, has been selected to host a visiting Alien. Aelyx and his cohort are not at all excited
by this program and have tricks up their sleeve for ending it prematurely. First of all, this book does not strive to be
serious science fiction. It is not
always plausible but is extremely entertaining.
I liked both characters and thought their interactions were often
humorous and heartfelt. This is definitely
a series that I will continue to read.
