Invaded (Alienated #2)

By Melissa Landers

Release Date: February 3, 2015

Summary: The romantic sequel to Alienated takes long-distance relationships to a new level as Cara and Aelyx long for each other from opposite ends of the universe...until a threat to both their worlds reunites them. 

Cara always knew life on planet L’eihr would be an adjustment. With Aelyx, her L’eihr boyfriend, back on Earth, working to mend the broken alliance between their two planets, Cara is left to fend for herself at a new school, surrounded by hostile alien clones. Even the weird dorm pet hates her.

Things look up when Cara is appointed as human representative to a panel preparing for a human colony on L’eihr. A society melding their two cultures is a place where Cara and Aelyx could one day make a life together. But with L’eihr leaders balking at granting even the most basic freedoms, Cara begins to wonder if she could ever be happy on this planet, even with Aelyx by her side.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Aelyx, finds himself thrown into a full-scale PR campaign to improve human-L’eihr relations. Humans don’t know that their very survival depends on this alliance: only Aelyx’s people have the technology to fix the deadly contamination in the global water supply that human governments are hiding. Yet despite their upper hand, the leaders of his world suddenly seem desperate to get humans on their side, and hardly bat an eye at extremists’ multiple attempts on Aelyx’s life.

The Way clearly needs humans’ help . . . but with what? And what will they ask for in return?

---------------------------------

I am so so so excited for this book to come out! I devoured Alienated  in one day and cannot believe that it just ended the way it did! I am dying to know what happens next now that Cara is on L'eihr and away from everything she knows on Earth. The romance between Cara and Aelyx was so cute and I loved how they fell for each other, but how can they have a relationship when they're literally on different planets, planets that aren't even their own? Things are definitely going to get crazy in this novel and I can't wait! I can't wait to see what Melissa gives to us next with this one!
