Samantha “Reena” Barker is out of her element—WAY out.
As the first (and only) human at an elite intergalactic university, Reena has somehow become an unofficial representative of the entire human race. No pressure, right? Navigating a campus full of aliens is hard enough, but add a grumpy, musically-challenged roommate to the mix, and things get seriously awkward.
Thankfully, it’s not all bad. She’s got Panda, a quirky alien friend with an endearing love for humans. And then there’s the devastatingly handsome alien prince who might just have a crush on her. Too bad his ex-girlfriend isn’t thrilled about it...
This complete collection includes all three books in the Alien U series.
I'm a rather reclusive author living in Ohio with four cats. I write super fluffy fluff and darkest grim grimdark. "This author has a strange imagination" was my favorite compliment ever. I hope my strange imagination entertains someone out there!
A well written tale that imagines what it is like to encounter and be immersed in an alien academy where you are no longer "average." Navigating career choices, friendships and understanding which pulls of the heart are true make this novel one hard to put down. Add a Cinderella ball and a Galactic war with pirates, agents , and angel-like beings and you will want to fly through this fantastic adventure. Appropriate for young adults and those who value the idea of traditional marriage. I would read a sequel to this.
I gave a 3 star rating because the virtual voice narrator kept switching how it said different words. Also there are several grammatical errors in the book. Those are my complaints.
I enjoyed the story and a look into a universe populated with other intelligent species. The main character, Reena, was the first human accepted into a prestigious university. She faces prejudice with grace. Her roommate is Teeg. He is what racial slurs call a vamp because his race drinks pre-packaged blood as their source of nutrients. Reena also quickly draws the attention of a Cayen prince that is also a first year student. Through classes, terrorists that attack the school, abduction, and War we see Reena and her relationships with others grow. It was a really good story that I enjoyed other than the complaints listed above.
