Waiting on Wednesday #5

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm eagerly anticipating....




From Goodreads: 
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.

Why I'm Waiting?

To be honest the reason I chose this book is because ever since I first saw it I fell in love with the book cover. Is in it pretty? Haha anyways once I got over my amazement of the book cover I read the summary and thought, "You know what Mari, this sounds like a book you would totally read and love till the end of times". Yes I know my head can be a little over dramatic. BUT! It's true this is the kind of book that I love reading all the time. I just hope Alienated is amazing because if not I will be crushed.

  5. Aliens seem to be gaining popularity in YA these days (I know The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey has been getting rave reviews). Hope this one lives up to your expectations! :)
