Getting better in terms of sci fi content and political massinations but loses a star for the wedding sub plot, too long and a bit boring Can we also be done with the jealousy? She’s marrying you for gods sake, get over it!

Published on my blog: Welcome to Larissa's Bookish Life

*Contains MINOR SPOILERS for the previous books in the series.

Kitty, Martini and the whole gang are back with a vengeance and Gini does the seemingly impossible, by delivering a third book in a series that leaves nothing to be desired when put up against the previous installments. We all know how hard it is for a series to be consistently amazing, book after book, capturing our attention and hearts with every single one that the author puts out. If someone has the knack of accomplishing that task, in spades, that person is Gini Koch!

It has been an year since Kitty’ world was turned upside down. One simple year since she killed a super being with a Mont-Blanc pen and found out that Aliens have been living inconspicuously amongst humans for a long time. A lot has happened since then, Fuglies has been constantly attacking, political maneuvers are all around, killer alligators, sentient beings, her boyfriend’s not-so-friendly mother, interplanetary biggots and so much more…

In Alien in the Family Kitty and Martini are finally planning their wedding, but it’s not all that easy as being in love. There are a lot of people that don’t want this wedding to happen and they will do whatever it takes to keep these two apart.

I LOVED Alien in the Family! Gini has created such an amazing world that so fascinating and fun that I can’t help but being completely obsessed with it. Kitty is the ultimate kick-ass heroine! She is fun, smart, sexy, hilarious, quirky and doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty when the need arises. She is also fiercely loyal to her people and that makes her absolutely ruthless when she knows they are in danger.

SO much happens in Alien in the Family, but it feels so natural that I guarantee you’ll devour this incredible novel in just a few hours. I really tried to pace myself, at least a little bit, just so I could enjoy the book more. However, I found that to be impossible when it comes to Martini, Reader, Kitty, Chuckie, Christopher and every single one of the superb characters that bring this series to life.

Alien in the Family has a little bit of goodness for everyone. A lot of Kitty and Martini, Kitty and Reader, Kitty and Chuckie, awesone new characters, action packed and full of heart. Oh, and there are also The Poofs {It’s all about the Poofs, baby!}, the perfect package for any fan of Kitty’s adventures. Gini has done it again and brought us another deliciously succulent installment of a series that I hope will be around for many more books to come. If you haven’t read this series yet, I absolutely advise you to pick up Touched by an Alien and Alien Tango as soon as possible, I promise you won’t regret it for a second!

Wish fulfillment, my but can't any other woman do what Kitty can. Still a half way fun story though

A bit too overly long, but an interesting story overall. Jeff toning down his jealousy was good, and the ending has me curious to see what will happen to him and Kitty next.

Fun read, but still have problems with the amount people listen to her. It went beyond what my suspension of disbelief could really cover, but it was a fun enough read.

I had a fun time reading this book because it was fluffy and lighthearted. The thing is though it's not well written and the plot is kind of flimsy. Jeff is outed as a direct descendant of the AC royal line and interstellar politics come knocking on Earth's door. The cast of lovable but quirky side characters grows exponentially and now with bonus pets!

I read this in a day! I am in love with all the characters in this series, they are so brilliantly described and this book in particular made me cry a few times! The ending was beautiful and I can't believe I now have to wait until December to find out what else is going to happen to my team!!! Ahhh! :)

A fun series that pokes fun at the sci-fi genre at the same time as telling an entertaining story. There is a lot of swoon, action, intrigue, and some "on screen passion" but overall a delightful read.

Kitty and Jeff get hitched! Loved it! Funny and romantic, with the usual cast of supporting characters plus some new adorable pets who can cuddle you or eat you!

Absolutely loved it!! I love following the characters and watching them grow together. Lots of great new additions in this one as well. I want a 'poof'! Too many favorites to list! Great job again, Gini! I want (im)patiently for the next one!
