| Alienated Series Book 1 |
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.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
I haven't read much alien books The only one that I can think of are The Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout (which is AMAZING), the I Am Number Four series by Pittacus Lore (however, I didn't read all of them and the ones I read was quite a long time ago, and there are probably some more but as for aliens come to high school those are probably it. Though I ahve to say Alienated was pretty good. The difference between the series I have read before and this one is that instead of the aliens secretly being here and humans eventually finding out about them, they are already here and there is a full blown plan of how to create an alliance between the two. With a student exchange program between humans the L'eihr, Cara and Aelyx enter quite the rollercoaster of events. Neither are entirely thrilled about this exchange but with time they realize the importance of it. There is a strong theme of them versus us in this book. Not everyone is happy about the L'eihr's interacting with humans and it is clearly shown. However, not everyone is against it. Cara and Aelyx try to survive the viscous threats and learn about one another. And it's in those moments that they become friends and then something much more. I think this is a good start to a potentially great series and I look forward to reading more.
