Awesome! I've been waiting for this one.
I'm thrilled to help Melissa Landers
with her release week launch party for INVADED! See a note from Melissa below
and make sure to enter the giveaway.
Hey, fiction lovers. I’m Melissa
Landers, author of the Alienated series (YA sci-fi from Disney-Hyperion), and
today I’m bouncing with excitement because THE SEQUEL IS FINALLY HERE!
It’s been a year since we left Aelyx and
Cara onboard the intergalactic transport, and INVADED begins with an emotional
goodbye as they part ways—Aelyx returning to Earth to salvage the alliance, and
Cara continuing to L’eihr to serve out her part of the student exchange. While
they’re apart, our star-crossed lovers will face assassination attempts, betrayal,
crippling self-doubt, and a sadistic alien Phys Ed class. (Because there’s no
escaping PE, even in another galaxy.) When Aelyx and Cara finally reunite…well,
let’s just say it’s combustive. ;-)
What do reviewers think? I’m glad you
asked!
“Readers
will love the seamless blend of suspense, humor, and romance set against an
interstellar landscape. Dual narratives and a tightly plotted mystery keep the suspense
running high, and the chemistry between Aelyx and Cara smolders.” –Booklist
“Excellent
character development and integration between modern reality and science
fiction. Teens will be rooting for the galactic couple while enjoying the
action and suspense that runs through the two volumes.” –School Library Journal
“The
protagonists' forced separation gives greater depth to their romance. Each
learns to turn a critical eye upon the flaws of their native societies while
confronting genuine obstacles to a future together. These complications only
underscore the growing sense of menace that propels the narrative to an action-packed
climax.” –Kirkus
I hope
