Synopsis: One super intelligent, super hot alien Zoe can handle, after all she loves Rion. But two spells trouble, especially when it's Pandora. This sassy alien has one agenda, to have as much fun as she can before her people realise she's gone rogue and materialised in human form. Pandora charms students and teachers alike as she parties her way through the term, but still aces her studies. Even Rion is influenced by her as she challenges his beliefs, and he begins to question whether he is still more alien than human. He and Zoe are finally together, but Zoe wonders for how long. She has other worries too, especially about her mother's health. Everything is changing in this final year of high school. But even though Zoe is crazy about Rion, can their new relationship last not only the ups and downs of human problems, but alien ones too?
Review: I felt like this was a great addition to the series. The characters are back, they’re amazing and just as funny as the last book. The pacing is still fast, so it’s a breeze to read, and the writing gets better with each book.
However, I still feel like there was still too much focus on physical attractiveness and that made me uncomfortable. The POV also changes without warning and it’s really confusing at times.
Verdict: Aliens!

Zoe is the only person who knows her boyfriend, Rion, is actually a super hot, super intelligent alien. That's more than enough to handle, but when Pandora arrives it seems Zoe and Rion are the only ones who don't fall completely under her spell. What exactly are her motivations for materialising on Earth, and will Rion manage to persuade her to go back before she causes irrevocable damage?
The point of view changes between Zoe and Rion without warning which made it a bit confusing at times. There were a few things that seemed a bit sudden or unexplained, but some of that may have been because I hadn't read the previous books in the series.
An enjoyable light read but I felt the characters were a bit too superficial for me to really get to know them or feel properly invested in their lives. This is a shame as I really liked some of the side characters and would have liked to go a bit deeper.
I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
