What this book is about
The first Alienated novel follows Cara, who is selected to host L'eihr alien exchange student Aelyx in her home — an honor that becomes a threat when anti-alien protests turn violent. Landers writes appealing YA sci-fi romance with an engaging enemies-to-allies dynamic. The romance is sweet; the political thriller subplot gives the story weight. Appropriate for YA readers.
