Cheerleaders From Planet X Lyssa Chiavari Books

“You know when you find someone you didn’t realize you were looking for until they’re there? And they become your family, and you realize… without them there’s a big hole.”

* * *

This book was everything I hoped it would be. A super fun and quick-moving storyline, alien intrigue and secret government organizations, and a cast full of women who support and protect each other instead of being pitted against one another. It was super refreshing to see a sorority (cheerleaders, no less) depicted as being a loving and loyal family instead of the usual backstabby, catty Mean Girl tropes we usually get in high school/college-age stories.

Cheerleaders From Planet X has a Buffy-esque feel, with a cast of tough-as-nails girls saving the planet, exciting action scenes, and seriously cool aliens... except a lot better, for obvious Joss-y reasons. If you want sci-fi with the above vibe without the underlying grossness (also, queer girls who don't die!) you'll really enjoy this. The reveal of who the aliens actually are and where they come from is also super-neat, and I can't wait to see more of this universe. (Yes, bonus points for Greek mythology nerding. Love it.)

But my favorite part is the building romance between Shailene and Laura, and the ultimate payoff - no spoilers, but I'm such a sucker for amnesia stories done well (even the sci-fi type), and this definitely is. The resolution moment is *good,* and makes my heart ache a little just thinking about it.

Totally recommended for anyone who's looking for a lighter read with a powerful emotional core. And aliens.

Cheerleaders From Planet X Lyssa Chiavari Books Reviews

Let me start by saying sci-fi is NOT my genre. In fact, I almost skipped on this book (except I saw a review that made it sound amazing) because aliens and space has never been something that interests me. But, this story is so much more than that. It did take me a little while to be “I need to know what happens next!!!” but even up until that point I was loving the characters and the slow-building mystery.

Is there going to be a sequel? Or is this the last of Laura and Shailene we’re going to see?

I definitely loved their relationship and all the things they had to go through to finally get together. And Laura’s family is awesome and I love the glimpses of them we get throughout.

All around, this is a great, fun story with lots of mystery and a nice pacing the relationship.
I’ve been meaning to read this book for a while – I was first intrigued by the cover and the title, then the blurb. Cheerleaders who fight aliens like some kind of superheroes? Sign me up!

I read this book fairly quickly and I enjoyed it as well, but when I got to the end I had to realise that it was more forgettable than I hoped. I enjoyed the action and the plot twists (really – I guessed part of it, but there was much that I couldn’t/didn’t guess so I was at the edge of my seat waiting to find out what was going to happen), but when everything was finally revealed, it felt like a little too much at once. Suddenly all kinds of government conspiracies and they-aren’t-who-you-think and Greek mythology was involved, and most of this was revealed at the same time. I felt like a more gradual reveal of the situation might have been better.

Most importantly, I just couldn’t really connect with any of the characters. I enjoyed the dialogue, especially the several references/jokes about the upcoming election and such, but in the end none of the characters truly grabbed me. I was interested in what was going to happen them, but not THEM, if that makes sense.

In short, this was an enjoyable but ultimately forgettable read for me.
This is a fun, short novel that is a non-stop ride of action and plot twists. It's a bit like crossing the X-files with X-men and stars, Laura, a freshman in college who keeps falling down the rabbit hole once she sees a Cheerleader on a skateboard, moving way too fast.

The continual plot twists keeps the reader guessing and, overall, I found it to be an enjoyable read.

The characters in the book are college age or higher but there is a YA feel to the book. I think this is mainly because the content of the book is non-explicit in violence, despite all of the action, and the f/f romance is pretty sweet and innocent.

For diversity, Laura comes from a mixed family and she's half Filipina and half white. The Filipino aspect is well depicted and there's some good humor that comes out of it.

The story is a mix of sci-fi, mystery, superhero tale, light f/f romance, action and adventure with sprinkles of humor.

Recommend.
