Starwalkers #3
Exiled
Exiled on the unfamiliar planet of Earth, Tyana must learn to blend in with normal Earthlings and bide her time until she finds a way back to Lemuria and her sister Cyena.
She can’t escape the instinct that something is off about the elite Lemurrian colony where she and the others refugees are hiding. She learns more of the prophecy from elite elders but begins to suspect she can’t trust those who are claiming to be her allies - especially after she discovers that they know how to get back to Lemuria but won’t let her go.
To make matters worse, she’s drawn to an Earthling named Collin, a man who makes her heart race with every look. Still reeling over the loss of Ryker, she can’t explain why she’s compelled to Collin and struggles to reconcile his death and her attraction to Collin with her guilt.
Rebellion members from Lemuria soon track down the colony of elite hiding out on Earth with orders to kill any survivors. If they succeed in reaching the elders, any chance Tyana has of returning to Lemuria will be destroyed.
With little time and the danger around her growing, Tyana must stay alive long enough to unravel the elders’ secrets and find her way home.

A short read and a bit better than the first two books.
Now when I think of it, I really liked Tyana's visit to the lost city of Atlantis so I am upgrading it to 4 stars.
I hope next book is as good as this one.

This installment follows Tyana after the events in Severed, and what happens to her on the primitive planet Earth.
Now, I've read YA before, good and bad. And even in the bad YA, the teenagers had some sense of self-preservation. Don't get me wrong. Teens in bad YA are plain stupid, yet they question the adults. In Exiled, Tyana is just too bloody trusting of Lidia, the elder on Earth, even after realizing all she knows is a combination of lies. She's just like her sister in that regard. Cyana had to get beaten to open her eyes, and I'm afraid Tyana might get a few, too. And I'm not interested in that.

The series is definitely coming along nicely. This next installment focuses on Tyana who is trapped on Earth. Her and the 6 other elite students who survived fleeing their home arrive on Earth to learn that there are a handful of Lemurrian's already on the planet. Elder Lydia, the leader/spokesperson of these Lemurrians tells them that they are stuck on Earth until the rebellion is over and that they should make the most of it by integrating into society. Several of the students embrace this philosophy and begin attending University, but Tyana is determined to return home to find her sister, Cyena.
Things get a little complicated when Tyana and Ayme, another elite student, are nearly run over while having lunch in town, and they realize that someone from the rebellion has found them. On top of that, Tyana meets Collin, a human guy who instills feelings in her she thought died with Ryker.
This book like the previous books in the series ends WAY TO SOON. Just when things start to look up for Tyana, we get left with a another infamous Lizzy Ford / Julia Crane cliffhanger.

The story keeps getting better and better. I honestly thought I just wanted to read the story about Cyena because I like her better but after reading this I think it was just that I didn't know Tyana. After getting to know both sisters I love the connection and the differences but the loyalty that they have to one another.
I was curious to know what was going on at Earth. I felt something off about Lydia from the start and of course I was right. I love Ryker and that he showed up in this story. I wasn't sure if he would but I had a curious thought when Collin showed up that maybe he had the same abilities as his brother. I am excited to see how she is going to get out of this predicament especially with how they are able to block Tyana from returning so I am sure they will have some way to try and keep her in the house.
I think the fact that Lydia and the others are trying to stop the prophecies is making it happen. That is the thing about riddles and the future if you try to change something it usually doesn't work. I look forward to see what is going to happen next.

While I gripe about clichéd mysterious prophecies driving stories, I loved every single minute of Exiled. It is told solely through the eyes of Tyana, the elder sister, with her wonderful determination to make contact with her lost sister. The reader can practically taste her fear and worry about her sister being surrounded by the enemy and her uncertainty of the future and reluctance to turn her back on the only life she had known to forge a new life for herself on a strange, alien planet with returning to her home being an impossible feat. Yes, there is a delectable romance within these pages, and twists and turns, and betrayals, and, yes, drama. And it is beyond fascinating to see Earth from the point of view of an alien and how different our culture and habitat can be (but then, I would have found that setting to be rather foreign as well since I live in a different part of the world from Arizona, though have visited it several times). This is such an addictive series! Onwards to devour the next installment!

Was super excited when I read this one!
As the story goes so far, the sister's are separated by the war, with Cyena struggling back on Lemuria to stay alive, with the help of Kaydon, Tyana is struggling with the adjustments that she has to make on Earth. Feeling the loss of her loved ones, and many unanswered questions, she must find the strength to figure out what she is to do next.
OMG with crazy surprises to the story that just made my heart pound from my chest, I can only say that I am so waiting on pins and needles to see what the out come of this will be.
So well written,and the plot thickens, that it makes up for it being a cliffhanger.
I recommend that if possible get all three books in the serial so that you may be caught up for the next!!
Julia Crane and Lizzy Ford make the best co-writers EVER!!!
Anxiously awaiting on book #4

Tyana has made her way to Earth with other refugee Limurians. She is distraught with worry about her sister, parents and boyfriend. She watched Ryker fall aiding her escape and cannot reconcile his death. She is cut off from her homeland and struggling to connect with the other refugees. She seeks release by meditation, but it does little to decrease her emotional state.
I love that Lizzy Ford is doing a different POV in each book of this series. I also love how the characters are all tied together in a way that is unexpected. This book was left with quite the cliff-hanger making me want to jump right into book four. I give this a strong 5 fangs for creativity. *** mild sex scenes*** I cannot wait to get back to Cyena, although I am just in love with Tyana's story.

Well what can I say..
I AM LOVING This Series.. These two coming together for this series was the best IDEA EVER.
In this installment we get to see how Tyana is doing after being unsure what exactly happened to her. Missing her sister and not knowing if she is dead or alive she continues to try and reach some type of contact to those she left behind. Being stranded on earth and receiving new news she begins to be unsure of who to trust. Can she trust those that she had all her life, or is there anyone she can turn to for help? I was glad to get to know more about some of what is going on with the rebellion and I really hope there are more to the series, as I was left with a pretty big cliff-hanger at the end.. I need to know what happens NEXT!!

Wow what a cliffhanger. I was so engrossed in this book that I did not realize I was at the end until I could not turn the page on my kindle anymore. This book is all about Tyana and where she is. Tyana has managed to make it to earth and is now living amongst the Elites that managed to make it off the planet before the rebellion. Tyana is lost and is trying to get home to Cyena her sister but can not. She then meets a man named Collin who draws her in much like Ryker did. She can not fight the connection she has to him and soon discovers the Collin is not who he lead her to believe he was. The rebellion has followed them to earth and Tyana must decide who to trust. I can not wait to see what happens next. Just a wonderful story.

In the book Tyana is trying to find her way back home to be with her sister Cyena. She also is trying to find out if she is alive or not. You find out that she is extremely frustrated with the fact that she is on earth and things are different for her. Then she meets Colin and instantly feels an attraction for him and she is afraid. She is also torn because she still loves Ryker. As she continues to adapt to life on earth she finds that life with group of refugees may not be all that it seems.
I think this was a really good addition to the serial novel and I eagerly await the next part. :)

I received this book from Barclay Publicity in return for a fair and honest review.
This novella seemed to go more quickly than Cyena's one previously but not in such a good way. Although Tyana's story wasn't rushed, it in no way seemed as detailed as Cyena's yet Tyana is supposed to be half of one side of the prophecy. I'm glad that the Ryker/Collin triangle got sorted out as there really wouldn't have been much time for that!
I am enjoying these books but still feel that it would have been better to be one continuous book rather than three very short novellas especially considering that the story is not yet completed.

I felt so bad for tyana in this book. All she wanted was to be with her sister and to make sure she was alive and she wanted ryker. This was a really good book I loved it tyana meet Collin and felt attracted to him but was not over ryker and felt guilty about it. I was so glad that in the end ryker showed up and tyana found out him and her sister were alive but yet she still could not go home. This was a short read and darn that cliff hanger that Julia left us at. I can not wait for the rest of the series this is one amazing read

5 stars!
Tyana is lost and confused when she first arrives on earth. She can't reconcile in her gut the things the elders are telling her. Her immediate connection to Collin has her questioning her feelings of loyalty to Ryker. This quick paced story shows how quickly Tyana learns to stand more on her own and act more like an adult than the youth she was back on her home planet. It is good to see her trust her instincts and follow her heart, without being a blind follower of the elders she was before the war started.

If you want to know anything about this series know that it is absolutely amazing and if you love paranormal reads this is a must read for you. Exiled picks up right where the last book ended, except we get Tyana’s story. Tyana doesn’t know if Cyena is alive or dead, she watched Ryder die and she feels alone and determined to find her sister more than ever. She realizes elder Lydia is not as forthcoming with the truth as she wants them to believe. Bonds will be formed and who to trust and not to trust becomes a major problem. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Tyana and the rest of the refugees from her home planet, Lemuria are hiding out in Sedona, Arizona. Tyana longs to find out what happened to her sister and get home. Stuck on Earth, Tyana meets an earthling Collin who she has an immediate attraction and connection to. I really like this series of novellas. I like the characters and the writing is really good. Everyone seems to have an agenda and Tyana just wants to be reunited with her sister. I eagerly await the next installment of this story. 4 stars.

This 3rd installment of the Starwalkers Serial focuses on Tyana and her time trapped on earth. She's determined to get back to her sister Cyena. It seems like as she finds out more about what's going on it brings up more questions than answers. Lots of plot twists that keep you reading and oh the cliffhanger ending! Like the others this one ended way too soon! Looking forward to the next installment.
March 17, 2014
A perfect book to continue the series. I loved the characters especially Ryker. Hot. You get to travel to earth with the ones that escaped the home land and see how things are going for them. I really do not like Lydia. Tyana is a sweet heart and it was exciting to see what she was going through not only on earth but without her sister. I loved Ayme and would love to see more about her also. Can't wait for the next book.

Loved this third installment to Lizzy Ford and Julia Crane's Starwalker serial series!!!!!
A better look at Tyana and how she is doing with the rest of the Elite survivors while they've been exiled to Earth.
The book is short but, it's very complete. Good action, good characters, good bit of plot twist. A few pretty exciting things happen in this book and, people are not who they seem to be.
Can't wait for the next installment!!!

So amazing! I don't know how they do it, but Lizzy Ford and Julia Crane manage to co-write a wonderful tale that flows together beautifully.
This third installment follows Tyana's adventures since abruptly leaving Lumeria. Much like Cyena's tale, everyone is telling her to move on with her life and forget her sister. She meets a new friend, but who can she really trust?
This third serial will leave you wanting more!!

In Exiled, we find out what happens to Tyana after separating from her sister and ending up on Earth. It was touching to see her struggle with her feelings to Collin, with who she can trust, and attempt to get back to Lemuria to find Cyena. I wish the stories were a little longer, but I’m glad the wait between them hasn’t been very long. Can’t wait for the next one.
September 4, 2014
Exiled is just as great as both its predecessors. Lizzy and Julia write fluidly as one creating wonderful stories that bring us a foreign world with all too known problems.I not oly recommend this book, but all of the books in the Starwalkers Serials. On that note, I can't wait to read the next installment.
December 2, 2015
Exiled by Lizzy Ford and Julia Crane is the third installment in the Starwalker Serials. I very much enjoy how these serials jump back and forth between the main characters. It adds depth to each experience. The mysteries keep piling up also. I dropped this one a star because it could have used one more proof read, some typos and grammatical errors, but nothing that detracted from the story.

Fantastic as always
Five stars for a great story and great characters. Once again Lizzy Ford has created a world full of intrigue, romance and adventure.
No matter what type of books you read... this is a must.
