Delaney’s entire world is thrown into chaos after she is mistaken for Lissa Olena, an alien princess hiding out on Earth in order to escape an arranged marriage.

Kidnapped by the princess’s head bodyguard, Ruckus, and imprisoned in an alien palace, Delaney is forced to impersonate the princess until Olena can be found. If she fails, it will lead to an alien war and the eventual enslavement of the entire human race.

No pressure or anything.

Factor in Trystan, the princess’s terrifying betrothed who is intent on unraveling all her secrets, and her own growing feelings for Ruckus, and Delaney is in way over her head.

Get lost Amid Stars and Darkness, in this YA sci-fi romance from debut author Chani Lynn Feener.




Why I can't wait for this one!

What first grabbed me was the AWESOME cover!! It TOTALLY ROCKS!! Then I read the plot and that clinched it -- I KNEW I had to get this book!! This looks like the start to a truly riveting new series!!




Chani's first traditionally published book will be with Swoon Reads, and comes out summer 2017!

She majored in Creative Writing at Johnson State College in Vermont. To pay her bills, she has worked many odd jobs, including, but not limited to, telemarketing, order picking in a warehouse, and filling ink cartridges. When she isn’t writing, she’s binging on TV shows, drawing, or frequenting zoos/aquariums. Chani is also the author of the teen paranormal series, The Underworld Saga, originally written under the pen name Tempest C. Avery. She currently resides in Connecticut, but lives on Goodreads.com.

    I like the synopsis for this one, although the cover feels Peter Pan-like, so I'm not sure what they were going for there. Great pick either way! :)

      Hi, Tressa!

      Yeah, that synopsis is DEFINITELY exiciting!! As for the cover, I hadn't noticed it before, but it DOES have a Peter Pan vibe to it. I like that, though, as Peter Pan is one of my favorite classic fairy tales!

      Glad you like my pick! Thanks for the interesting comment!! <3 :)
