I am so 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
