Hey everyone! Today I'm going to be talking about the book Alienated by Melissa Landers. Now I am a BIG fan of sci-fi, so when I saw this book I naturally was attracted to it. That's why I thought I would share my thoughts on it today, so here we go! What's The Story? Two years ago, a race of aliens called L'ehiers arrive to earth, having nearly identical DNA and a similar home planet.

Hello, everybody! Welcome to my first ever book review here on Matthew's Bookshelf. I thought I would start off my site on a positive note by sharing an awesome page-turner. Today I'm going to be talking about Survive The Night by Danielle Vega . First of all, let me say that I know it's not right to judge a book by its cover.

I decided to give this book chance after reading its synopsis, and let me tell you...  I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!  As much as I try to contain my enthusiasm, this one is just worth raving about. And you'll see why in a little bit! What's The Story? Casey just got back from rehab and decided to spend some time with her friends, Shana, Julie and Aya. After not being in public for a long time, they talk her into coming to Survive The Night, which is an all-night rave that takes place in a New York subway tunnel. They think it will be fun for Casey to part...
