Synopsis: (Via GoodReads)
United They Stand.
Seventeen years ago an entire generation of aliens were sent to Earth in order to save their home planet and integrate into the human population. Now, those aliens are being hunted.
Amery Jones is your typical teenager, except for the fact she is an alien and a member of the government’s secret Project Integrate.
When Amery’s best friend Lola is kidnapped in order to get to her, there is only one person that can help – the exceedingly annoying and charming Lochie Mercury.
Together, Amery and Lochie must put aside their differences and attraction in order to rescue Lola before it’s too late.
The book follows Amery, who is an alien, and shows the reader a new world. The author immediately puts the reader into a world of what ifs and confusion. The whole world we made up about aliens is shattered in this novel.
The main character, Amery, was a little aggravating in the middle of the book. I just did not like the whole thing between her and Lochie. To me this was the cliche romance between the hated enemies, and it made me a little angry because I believed it was not necessary. I did like the characters though and really appreciated the secondary characters. Jamie Campbell has a way of writing likable characters and readers will enjoy that. I will say that this book seems to aim more towards younger readers, not people who have higher standers compared to a new reader.
The book did have lacking points, with the cliche, but it lived up to some of my expectations. I would reccomend this to new, younger readers, not older readers, for they would not like the book at all.
