How to Date an Alien [NOOK Book]

This is a cute and fun story. With great action and mysteriousness around every corner, dating an alien is harder than what you think.


What I adored most about this story is how much it reminded me of Men in Black but with a high school setting and teens. Alex thinking she doing an military internship, she finds herself in a whole new world she did not know exist. Alex is quick to accept it with loads of questions. I too, feel that I would react the same way. Alex is smart and knows exactly what to ask. She doesn't fool around but ask straight to the point.


The love interest developed just the way I like it. Ace is an alien who's mysterious attitude attract me right away. The way he answer questions hastily, or answer questions with questions is enough to make me lose my mind and go after him. Once Alex learns who he is, the romance sizzles up into pure love.


I enjoyed the action, especially at the end. With ¿a girl leading the fight, it made me giddy to see Alex fighting for who she loves no matter what the cost. Plus, a girl who can fly a fight jet, who wouldn't want to be in her shoes.


How To Date An Alien is a fantastic story that engulfs the reader. Filled with a burning romance that is actually fought for, I fell for the story. Amazing descriptions of the worlds of beyond, How To Date An Alien is awesome!

Soo cute!

This is the kind of book that makes a girl dream for her soulmate, and for one like me, makes her dream of someone loving her no matter what :)
Buy for an original storyline.

Hooray for Aliens!

This is a fun read, with enjoyable characters and out if this world alien mayhem. The setting is modern day and at times I could completely imagine a world with aliens mingling among us. The friendships and love interests are well worth mentioning, and readers will want to know more of the story after the final chapter. Will there be a sequel? One final note, the alien battles, weopons, and craft are most entertaining and engaging. Well done! And congrats on your debut novel, cheers to many more!

The premise sounded good, but the execution was terrible. The main character was whiny and irritating, and I did not find myself cheering for her – I found myself wanting to smack some sense into her. There were some huge plot holes and gaps that were never filled/explained. There were a lot of emotions that were “told” to the reader, but never experienced. I am more than willing to suspend belief, but grammatical errors and subpar writing made me put the story aside in frustration. I kept on reading, hoping it would get better, but it never did. The story was free, there was potential in the plot, but it read like a first draft and still needs a lot of work.

Love it.

Great read, though the ending could have been better. I love forbidden Romance novels and it doesnt get more forbidden then dating a different species.

Don't bother.

This book reminded me of Twilight--and that's not a compliment. The plot is predictable and overdramatic with gaping plotholes; suspension of disbelief only gets you so far when internal logic fails to follow. The writing is flavorless but relatively inoffensive, except when the author ignores the rules of grammar. The heroine had potential in the beginning, but quickly turned into a bland audience self-insert without any personality or consistency.

All in all: the premise has potential, but the plot and characters need some serious reworking (and the author needs some writing classes). This feels like a mediocre first draft. Only buy if you're incredibly bored, a thirteen-year-old girl, or enjoyed Twilight.

Alex Bianchi is a 17-year-old girl who is somewhat of a nerd in

Alex Bianchi is a 17-year-old girl who is somewhat of a nerd in school.  She lives with her mother, stepfather, and little brother, as her parents have been divorced since she was a child.  Her father is in the military, so she hasn't seen him much.  Alex ends up asking her dad about an internship to Circe, where he works, because she needs something to put on her college application to Columbia University.  When she arrives in Arizona to begin her internship, she really knows nothing about the place.  When she enters the facility with her father she inadvertently makes a "thumbs up" gesture to her dad, which unbeknownst to her is a huge no-no in the alien world.  This results in an attack on her life by an alien, and then another alien, Ace, saves her.  This is how Alex finds out that alien's exist.  Ace is a Calatian and one of the most beautiful beings she has ever seen.  Needless to say, her ignorance of alien culture was not looked upon favorably by her fellow interns, or the other aliens, which came in all different shapes and sizes, some resembling humans and some anything but human-like.  As it turns out the Calatians are somewhat of a superior race in the universe, and what Ace did by saving her was frowned upon by the entire alien race.  




Alex ends up being assigned to work with Ace, and they find themselves falling for each other.  This is also taboo, because it is forbidden for aliens and humans to interact in this way.  This sets of a string of events that   not only threaten Alex and Ace, but the entire world, as they find themselves the center in the center of an intergalactic war.  Alex and Ace are determined to be together, but is their love strong enough to overcome the most powerful being in the universe, the Queen of Calatia, especially when the Queen happens to also be Ace's mom?




HOW TO DATE AN ALIEN was a cute story.  It sort of had a little of a "Men in Black" feel to it, mixed with a little bit of "Roswell."  Though it has it's very serious moments, there is quite a bit of lighthearted humor mixed in.  The story moves along an a good pace and was entertaining.  Ace is your totally hot alien type who looks like a male model.  Alex has an Italian background, is dark haired and has an olive-skinned dark complexion.  She also wears glasses, and cannot see anything without them.  She is portrayed as not quite overweight, but not thin by any means, though I think she sees herself in a more negative manner than everyone else does.  Alex and Ace face many obstacles in their relationship, as well as biases, and plenty of danger because there are many in the human world and alien world who do not want to see these two together. I found this YA science fiction/romance  cute and entertaining, and though it has its serious moments, still remains lighthearted and fun.  

Is it me or does this scream "Obsidian"?

I think it MIGHT just be me.

Loved this.

I was pleasantly suprised with this book. It left me with a warm feeling after reading it.

A Delightful, Lighthearted book

It's rather difficult for me to categorize this book, because it spans several genres. Obviously it's a young adult science fiction story, but it is also a romantic comedy. I guess I'll go with sci-fi-romance-romp. How's that? At any rate, I certainly enjoyed it.

Although the story centers around an Alien plot line, I would recommend it to readers who don't normally enjoy sci-fi stories. Vernon injects enough comedy, heart and romance within the book that it should appeal to a variety of readers.

I'm not sure that the character of Alex could be categorized as particularly unique, but she's likable nonetheless. She's quirky and snarky; traits I happen to adore in characters. As the book progresses she really comes into her own and shows a great deal of determination and gusto.


Ace, Alex's love interest, is also rather likable. Although we didn't get to know him as much as I would have liked. The book chugs along at a quick pace and unfortunately it causes some of the character development to suffer. I hope that in the next book we'll get to know more about Ace. From what we've seen, he is a great character, but I'd still like to get to know him better.


How To Date An Alien is a delightful comedic romp that readers are sure to find enjoyable. It's a quick, light read that will keep you entertained for a few hours.
