Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature that highlights books that I am anxiously awaiting. WoW is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Alienatedby Melissa Landers
to be published February 4th 2014 by Disney Hyperion
Interplanetary relations have never been more exciting! The first in a funny, romantic YA sci-fi series.Umm.. Hello awesome cover, come to me! This one sounds really good, I am a little wary that it may feel a little insta-lovey but if the romance is handled well I think this could be a really great story! And not just because it's pretty... though that's definitely part of it.
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 loves, but for the future of her planet.
What are you waiting on this week?

Bring on the sexy aliens (only in the bookish world would I ever catch myself saying that)! This looks great and I really like the cover.

2014?! YOU'RE KILLING ME JENNI! I have to wait a whole year before I can get my hands on this piece of awesome? *dies a little inside* I'll try and be patient though, this book just sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteThe cover looks absolutely gorgeous, and the premise sounds SO SO interesting. I can't believe we have to wait almost a year to get our hands on this pretty. But I think it'll be worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I have heard of it, but I love the cover and even though it sounds like it might be insta-lovey, I still am totally interested in it!! Great pick babe!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, this is new! Lovely cover but I agree, it sounds like potential insta-love. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW Pick!

I hadn't heard about this one until now, but I kinda love the cover!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
I'm really curious about this one. It sounds like it has potential but, like you, I'm a little worried about the insta-love possibility. I also don't know yet how I feel about aliens spreading all over YA, but I guess I'll have to check it out to see!
ReplyDeleteOMG, that cover!!!! <3 YES. I'm really liking the sound of this one too, interplanetary exchanges & romances. How cool does that sound?! Thanks for spotlighting this one :-D
ReplyDeleteOh this cover is weird! Like good weird! Like it makes me want to fall!
ReplyDeleteOoh what a unique and striking cover! I'd never heard of this book until now. It sounds like a cool premise. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHoly shizz! I love that cover! I don't even care what the book is about. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about this book. I love the cover and can't wait to get ahold this one, too.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds and looks great! I've never seen anything like this before! :D

Waiting on Wednesday
Crazy that I had not heard of this one yet. And I'm on top of this shit most of the time! And it sounds awesome! I want it! Great pick, Jenni!
ReplyDelete*grabby hands* I want this one on my shelf too!! Awesome pick! This baby is going right on my tbr. We definitely need more aliens in the YA mix!
ReplyDeleteWell, this sounds really different! Aliens?!? We don't see much of that these days! I'll have to add this to my list!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of an alien-book reader, but this sounds like a fun read! If only the romance wasn't blatantly revealed...Anyway, great WoW pick!
ReplyDeleteI'm always skeptical about Alien stories... I can't wait to hear more about this.
