Book Review 35: Alienated by Melissa Landers and Invaded signing!!

So I was able to go the the Invaded book signing today! I had an amazing time! Since this was Melissa Landers' first tour stop for Invaded, there was little launch party, with cupcakes and drinks, and then there was a Q&A. I unfortunately drew a blank with a questions I had, and therefore did not ask any. However, there was an amazing turnout, and some amazing questions. Also, there were other authors that came out to support Melissa Landers and Alienated & Invaded. Some of these authors included; Liz Coley author of Pretty Girl-13; Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon authors of Doon; Karen Hopkins author of Temptation, Belonging, and Forever; Kristen Simmons author of Article 5, Breaking Point, Three, and soon to be released, The Glass Arrow. I have to add that I appreciated that Melissa Landers' family was there supporting her, along with many of her friends, and of course so many fans!

Not only did I meet Melissa Landers, but I met Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon authors of  Doon!

Alienated Review:
I finished Alienated earlier this week and absolutely loved it! It takes an amazing book for me to stay up and read it all night. And let me just tell you this was one of those books. The story starts with Cara Sweeney, a valedictorian a Midtown High School, and she finds out that she has been selected to host the first-ever L'eihr exchange student. After she finds this out she thinks that her future is set. She will not only be able to get into her dream college AND she will have inside information on the mysterious L'eihrs. When she meets Aelyx (A-licks), she isn't sure what to expect. But, as time goes by those at Midtown High aren't very accepting of Aelyx, and chaos ensues. There is romance, mystery, and suspense in this book, and I recommend you go get this book now! I cannot wait to see what happens to Cara and Aelyx next!


Here is the book synopsis:
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 (pronounced layre)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.
