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!
