Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday startades av Jill på bloggen Breaking the Spine och går ut på att visa en kommande bok som man längtar lite extra efter.

Alienated (Alienated #1) - Melissa Landers

Releasedatum: 4 februari, 2014

Interplanetary relations have never been more exciting! The first in a funny, romantic YA sci-fi series.

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.

Kommentar

Sci-fi har länge varit en av mina favoritgenrer och jag tycker att det är väldigt kul att det har börjat komma fler och fler YA böcker som passar in under den kategorin. Just den här boken handlar Cara som blir utvald att ta hand om en utbytesstudent från rymden, en så kallad L'eihr. Jag tycker att Alienated låter både rolig och spännande och ser fram emot dess release, vilken i och för sig är ganska så långt fram i tiden.
