Alienated (Alienated, #1)


Review: Alienated - Book #1 Alienated Series - Melissa Landers - February 2014

Sit back and imagine , which side of the fence would you be on if an alien race that looked like me and you and acted a bit like us decided to come to earth and integrate their current generation of teens into our high schools ? Would you be supportive of it or would you be one of those against and would deem it as an abomination ? Reading Alienated by Melissa Landers, reminded me ALOT of the TV Show which unfortunately only lasted one season Star-Crossed in which a race of alien landed on Earth and years later they decided to pick five of them to integrate and attend school with the humans. Some of the kids accepted it and others were totally against it and wished them harm and foul play ensued. In Alienated, Cara has been chosen to host Aelyx - one of the aliens. He will spend time here on Earth and then vice versa she will attend his planet. During Alienated, we read as nations divide between those who think they are abnominations to those that see them as just another human ethnicity and accept them for who they are. Friendships will be lost, Loyalties divided and Alienated will prove that not everyone accepts the choice to get along and often when you stand-up and believe in something, deadly consequences can occur and readers are left wondering whether it is Brave or Plain stupidity to stand up for what you believe, no matter how dire the outcome will be. 
As I was reading through the book, I did note quite a few similarities to Star-Crossed and believe that if you loved the TV Show then you will fall in love with not only Aelyx but also the Alienated series by Melissa Landers.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
