Alienated
Author: Melissa Landers
Publish Date: February 4, 2014
Genre: YA. fantasy, sci-fi
Book in a series: 1st

Synopsis:
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

Love the synopsis! Based from the people who got an e-arc, they loved this one. I also requested this one, but netgalley declined it ( what a bummer!). Alien mojossss!! I remember Lux series, but I think this one will be lighter and fluffier. 

What's on your list? ;D

The Blood of Olympus
Author: Rick Riordan aka the god of fantasy-myth novels
Publish Date: October 7, 2014
Genre: myth, fantasy
Book in a series: 5th books (last fucking bool im going to cry)

Synopsis:
Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the "Argo II" have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen-all of them, and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood-the blood of Olympus-in order to wake. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it "might" be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the "Argo II" will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

 THE LAST PERCY BOOK! I NEED A MOMENT. SERIOUSLY. This book will definitely kill me once it is released! The Blood of Olympus aka the conclusion to one of the most spectacular, phenomenal, jaw-dropping and all words synonymous to AMAZING. **SQUEAAALS* Someone will die? Who? Who? Will there be reunion of old characters? What will happen? What? What? How will they defeat Geae, rather, who between STORM or FIRE will defeat WORLD? Oh my gods, I'm going to piss on my pants I am so freaking excited!! At the same time, this book makes me sad and melancholic in contrary to my excitement. This is the last percy book and we need to say goodbye to the characters we had loved since The Lightning Thief :((((((( I know that Rick will never ever disappoint, so, I am just expecting sheer creativity, mind-blowing plot twists, intense action scenes, awesomeness at its finest and a truck load of greek mojos!! AHHHHHHHHH CANT WAIT!!

What's your pick?

Split Second
Author: Kasie West
Publish Date: February 11, 2014
Genre: YA, paranormal, sci-fi

Synopsis:
Life can change in a split second.

Addie hardly recognizes her life since her parents divorced. Her boyfriend used her. Her best friend betrayed her. She can’t believe this is the future she chose. On top of that, her ability is acting up. She’s always been able to Search the future when presented with a choice. Now she can manipulate and slow down time, too . . . but not without a price.

When Addie’s dad invites her to spend her winter break with him, she jumps at the chance to escape into the Norm world of Dallas, Texas. There she meets the handsome and achingly familiar Trevor. He’s a virtual stranger to her, so why does her heart do a funny flip every time she sees him? But after witnessing secrets that were supposed to stay hidden, Trevor quickly seems more suspicious of Addie than interested in her. And she has an inexplicable desire to change that.

Meanwhile, her best friend, Laila, has a secret of her own: she can restore Addie’s memories . . . once she learns how. But there are powerful people who don’t want to see this happen. Desperate, Laila tries to manipulate Connor, a brooding bad boy from school—but he seems to be the only boy in the Compound immune to her charms. And the only one who can help her.

As Addie and Laila frantically attempt to retrieve the lost memories, Addie must piece together a world she thought she knew before she loses the love she nearly forgot . . . and a future that could change everything.

My Thoughts:
Pivot Point is my fave debut novel/sci-fi novel novel that I've read this year. That's why it was dreading when Pivot point ended with a painful cliff-hanger. Just frustrating! I want Trevor x Addie moment!! More more more more!! So, this book is up to next year, but my soul says YOU NEED THIS NOW LIKE AS IN N O W. I can't wait!! I need my daily dose of Kasie West!!

So what's your WoW?

Thought: Does Kasie West ever go wrong? I'm escalated that my first read for 2017 was a squee-filled one. This was utterly adorable. The main character, Lily, is a very witty person. It wasn't hard to love her and her family.
