Waiting on Wednesday #13
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights books whose
releases we are eagerly awaiting!
by: Melissa Landers
Disney Hyperion
Expected Publication: February 2014
Interplanetary relations have never been more exciting! The first in a funny, romantic YA sci-fi series.
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.

What do you mean I have to wait a whole year for this book?!!? Cruel and unusual punishment!
First off: I LOVE this cover! It's pure gorgeousness! Second: Aliens, romance, secrets, and mystery?! YES, YES, YES! This book had me at 'romantic YA sci-fi'.
What do you guys think? Do you love the cover like me? Did the synopsis have you running to add it to your TBR list?

I'm ususally not so hot on aliens, but this sounds a lot more like a romance story, I think I can live with the sci-fi ofit. Thanks for sharing, this is going onto my tbr! My WoW

ReplyDeleteI love the cover! Such a neat idea!
DeleteOh my gosh I'm so glad you posted this! I saw the cover on Pinterest of all places on some random page and was having a major covergasm over it! But before I looked it up and noted the title I closed out my browser and it was gone forever. Yay it sounds really good too. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad I could help! I saw it on someone's blog and have now taken to keeping a pad of paper and pen right in front of my computer for all the book titles I have to write down!
DeleteFor some reason I either saw this at a conference recently or picked it up! If its not out until February ARCS shouldn't be out yet. But I'm pretty sure I grabbed this. It sounds really good and that cover is beautiful. Thanks for sharing <3
ReplyDeleteJasmine
I wonder if maybe GR has the release date wrong. Because that would be ok if it came out sooner!!!
DeleteI'm excited for this one, too. Whoever designed that cover is a genius. So pretty...um, and the book sounds good, too. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW
Haha. I am big into pretty covers, so I saw this on someone's blog and went and looked it up on GR. SO excited!
DeleteI am pretty excited for this one as well. Sci-fi isn't something I read a ton of, but this sounds really unique.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW pick :)
I don't read a lot of sci-fi either, because it's not always done very well. But I'm hoping this one will take the cake!
DeleteThis looks like such an awesome mix of sci-fi and romance! Sounds a little bit like Gravity (by Melissa West), but I'm hoping it's even better. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Ooh, I never read Gravity, but it's been on the TBR list.
DeleteI can't wait to read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Do you see those exclamation points it means I am super psyched!) Why can't this come out sooner!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Hahah, I am a big fan of exclamation points! And yes! I don't want to wait for it at all!!!
DeleteFunny romantic sci-fi? That sounds awesome! I've been seeing this one on Goodreads and keep forgetting to add it to my TBR...
