Book Review: ALIENATED by Melissa Landers




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.

 This book is the debut novel by Mellissa Landers despite her novel became so popular for Daemon-lovers. I always want to pick this up and finally I have it and I read it. Not as beautiful as the Lux series but I don't want to compare these two series either. Because this book is more different from the Lux series. Our strange aliens are more peaceful than the humans. Or they pretend like that.

Anyway, our characters are verry funny and also smart. Because we get used to see stupid behaviors from the young-adult characters. And that's the biggest problem in YA.

But Alienated is more different from the other books about that plot, characters and plot twist.

“Friendship is one mind in two bodies."
Right. Until your BFF went out of her mind and after your ex-boyfriend's body.”

 “It's common knowledge that shiny rocks are preferred among human females.” 





Cara and Aelyx became one of my favorite OTP. Aelyx is so gentleman to Cara and so different to her. And their first meeting is so funny and also humiliating for Cara! Anyway, this book is full of fun, action and irresistable romance. 

Also we have enemies for Aelyx's staying in the world. These people are exclude both Cara and Aelyx. Except these enemies, Aelyx has girl-fans too. But unfortunately less than enemies.

“I don't like the way he looks at you.""How does he look at me?""Like he wants to dock his ship inside your spaceport.""You've cracked.” 

 This is the second book's cover and as pretty as the first one, right? I can't wait to read that one too because the book ends with a cliffhanger and I guess in the second book, we can see love-triangle. Anyway, I really loved this book; this is a science-fiction different book and if you love the Lux series, you will love Alienated too. Melissa Landers became one of my favorite authors so far!
