He shrugged. “That’s not how we show affection.”
“Really?”
“Truly.”
“Too bad,” she said over the top of her mug. “You don’t know what you’re missing.”
“Not much, I imagine. I researched it, and it sounds bizarre to me.”
Cara smiled to herself. “Not if you’re doing it right. Nothing’s hotter than a good kiss.”
“Nothing except sh’ellam. It always le
I can't quite put my finger on exactly why, but I just loved this book. Like, every single word of it. It didn't change my life the way Jellicoe Road (or anything by Melina Marchetta) did but I honestly can't think of a single criticism. It was fun and well written with characters I could relate to (even the aliens) and while the blurb made it sound as if it was going to be a little fluffy and silly (which I was looking forward to) it never quite crossed that line? It wasn't overly serious, but...more

My Thoughts: We are introduced to Cara who is smart. She gets good grades and has a few close friends, and a boyfriend. She is chosen to host a boy from another planet. The planets are trying to merge, and this is the perfect opportunity for alliance the government believes. I'm not sure if you can really call it that but I'll say it anyway.
Aelyx and a few others come to earth. And Cara’s brother goes to his planet, and next year Cara will join her brother. It’s chaotic yet exciting. Aelyx come...more

Where can I sign up for the L'eihr exchange program? With the right mix of sizzling omance, action, and suspense, ALIENATED is easily my favorite alien book to date. The chemistry between Cara and Aelyx oozes off the page. The blog bits were perfect and the research on human mating rituals? Ah, I laughed my bum off at that.

Gorge cover and human falling in love with an alien that has ulterior motives for her planet?!!! Grabby paws kitty needed!
2014?!?!?!?
2014?!?!?!?
Love, love this book. The protagonist is feisty, clever, SMART! and definitely someone to root for. The male main character is smart, empathetic (!) and not afraid to admit when he's wrong.
Also love the socio-economic implications of the book. Melissa Landers has written a book that is both entertaining, and extremely relevant to a lot of the issues that we see in the news today.
Review to come closer to release date, but it's seriously killing me that I can't say more now!

Someone better come up with an e-card and put it on Pinterest for this: I'm sick of seeing a book cover that's cool, reading an even cooler blurb, then finding out that the damn thing doesn't come out for ALMOST A YEAR!!!!! If I didn't add it to Goodreads there's no way I'd remember it!
2014?!

My official comments:
Exchange students on a galactic scale? Yes please! With its quick, quippy writing and fast-paced plot, ALIENATED drew me in immediately. Cara's compassion toward Aelyx -- and his ability to see beyond his own prejudices -- made me really fall in love with this story. I couldn't put it down!
My unofficial comments:
OMC. The hotness of some of those scenes. *fans self* (Also isn't that cover fantastic???)

2014?! What?! :(
I want it now!
I want it now!
Loved this! It was brimming with conflict, yet still light, somehow. The interaction between the two narrating characters was awesome and fun and so. very. enjoyable. The ending was my favorite kind-- completely satisfactory, while getting me excited for the direction book 2 is headed.
Great light hearted romance with one of the best kissing scenes I've ever read in YA. You won't want to miss this one. :D
OMG. I NEED THIS BOOK NOW.. 2014? *dies*

Melissa Landers writes light, witty sci-fi for teens and the young at heart. Look for her ALIENATED series coming in early 2014 from Disney Hyperion.
Additionally, she writes contemporary romance for adults under the name Macy Beckett.
