Synopsis taken from Goodreads

Stubborn, sixteen-year-old Princess Venus of Kelari wants one thing, to become a kelvieri, that is, until someone exiles her to Earth, kills her irrihunter and takes her family.

Now she wants revenge.

First she’s got to get home. But before she can return to Kelari, the Gods have commanded her to help an arrogant boy named Michael find his soul mate. Only she doesn't know the first thing about love.

Rather quickly, her inexperience with human emotion is obscured by other matters—alien-controlled psychotic teens that are out to kill her, and a government group that is set on capturing and dissecting her.

Worst of all, Venus will suffer a painful death-by-poisoning, thanks to Earth’s atmosphere, if she remains on the planet longer than one week. Still, Venus is a Princess and she's got a plan. Surely, with her help, Michael will fall in love with a human.

But time is running out and Michael is falling for the wrong girl—her.

Exactly three weeks ago, I ran across the beautiful cover of this book over at .Ya-Aholic. and immediately, I ran over to Goodreads to look up who it was by and what it's all about. On the cover, it's kind of hard to tell who the author is so I just typed in Exiled and I scrolled down the page and there it was. After reading the description of the book, I was hooked. It sounds super interesting! And the cover, without a doubt, drew me in. It's gorgeous, right? :)

What are you impatiently waiting for this Wingsday? ;)
That was a Whitney reference, if you didn't know. Love that show!
