I love this series by Melissa Landers and I am excited to have her on my blog today. You can check out my review of Alienated here and Invaded, book two here .
For all the people that don't know can you tell us a bit about the series!
For those who haven't heard of this series, ALIENATED is about a high school senior named Cara Sweeney who agrees to host the nation's first alien exchange student, a total hottie named Aelyx. The two get off to a rough start, but eventually they become friends and then...much more than friends. In the sequel, INVADED, Cara travels to Aelyx's home planet, L'eihr, while he stays on Earth to help rebuild the alliance between their worlds.
Why aliens?
Why NOT aliens? They're fascinating to write about!
I love the cover designs. They are some of my favorite! Do you have a say in the cover design? How does the process of picking a cover work?
Generally speaking, authors have very little say in their cover art, and I'm no exception. However, I think the designers at Disney did a wonderful job. I especially love the vibrancy of the ALIENATED cover. It really stands out in a sea of dark books on the shelf.
If you had one tweet (140 characters) to encourage people to read your series what would it be?
I'd probably use the tweet I sent on release day: The ALIENATED series is here, and interplanetary relations have never been hotter!
If you enjoyed ALIENATED, don't forget to check out UNTIL MIDNIGHT, which is a **FREE** short story that takes place between books one and two. It's a sweet, romantic account of Aelyx and Cara's last day together on the intergalactic transport before he returns to Earth and she continues to L'eihr. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I loved writing it!

ReplyDeleteI always love when an author I adore agrees to be featured on my blog as well! Hopefully interviewing Landers made you really happy ^^
ReplyDeleteCheck out my discussion post: http://olivia-savannah.blogspot.nl/2015/02/olivias-catastrophe-romeo-juliet.html
I'm new to this series. Looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI loved both Alienated and Invaded- read them both last week actually, back to back! The audio is quite good :) I haven't read the short story, will have to check it out. And I'm crossing my fingers there will be a third book!
ReplyDeleteThere's so much hype surrounding this series! However, I haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteI have not read this, but I have heard of it! I am even more intrigued now and wanting to read it right away!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I heard about this series. The book has an interesting book cover that catch my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI've not read Alienated but it seems like something I'd really enjoy! Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually reading Alienated right now! I absolutely love it. I'm about 60% through and hooked, so I'd love to win a copy of Invaded! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read them but really, really want to. My library doesn't have Alienated so I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy! I love aliens stories! Re-watching Roswell because I'm missing an aliens story; then I'll be re-watching Star-Crossed! Thank you so much for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing these books everywhere and the reviews of them are usually great but I haven't read any of them yet even though I'd love to!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway! Interesting interview too :)
I have not read Alienated nor Invaded but trust me, I've been DYING to. Great interview, I had fun reading it. Thank you so much for the giveaway! :D
ReplyDeleteThe idea of alien and human cross species love is so cool. Vampires and werewolves have been done many a time, so why not aliens? I love it. It feels like a fresh take on contemporary romance with a paranormal take. Hopefully this book will be Out Of This World!
ReplyDeleteI have read Alienated and really enjoyed it so I can't wait to read Invaded.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very different and interesting story.
I have heard about this series. I have read the first book and it's amazing. :D I want to have the 2nd book.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this series yet but the books sound so good :D
ReplyDeleteAlienated was one of my favorite books that I've read last year. Bought it 'cause I fell in love with the cover and then ended falling in love with Aelyx. Can't wait to read Invaded!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! :)
