Book Review: Alienated

Alienated by Melissa Landers is a wonderful Sci-Fi Teen Fiction story that follows the female lead Cara Sweeny and her blog as she is enrolled in the Student Exchange program but here's the twist folks, the exchange isn't from a different country but from another planet! I honsetly picked up this book, at first, because I love, love, love the cover.


It is just so pretty, I love it. The story is really great I could not put this book down. Aelyx, the Alien, is placed in Cara Sweeny's home and Cara, in a year, will be placed in a home on L’eihr. The story follows Aelyx time on earth and how it effects the Sweeny's and the people they know. Humans don't react kindly to Aelyx or the aliens. This is a really sweet story that of course has some love in it but it isn't a 
"And then their eyes met and he knew she was the one for him." kind of stories. At first he Aelyx can't stand humans at all but slowly Cara's quirky charm works on him and he starts to see the better side of humans. Twist, threats, and lies enter the mix and things get complex and we have to wait and see how it plays out and if Aelyx and Cara will come out on top or not.
The romance is slow but sweet and the plot of the book doesn't feel like you are waiting forever for it. I give this book 
5 out of 5 stars
