She blinked. "What's going on?"
"Oh, the usual crap. Only more of it."
"Oh." She shrugged. "So, routine."
"Yep."

Gotta love the snark. Alien vs. Alien was entertaining, fast paced and fun! There's new AC pets! Kitty actually gets jealous (of an attention whore parrot no less)! Big things happen! Alien vs. Alien picks up a months months later. Due to a series of (unfortunate?) events, Kitty doesn't have the security clearance to actually know what's going on, so in typical Kitty fashion--she wings it.
It was refreshing to see Kitty without her normal partners in crime as she figures the plots out and relies on her "random tendencies" to get the job done. Again, I love this series. Koch has delivered again and I can't wait for more.
4/5 stars
“Can I get a bird amen?” Peregrine wings all flapped, there were several coos, and even a couple of hoots. “Can I get a real bird amen?” Peregrines hooted and flapped. They enjoyed the impromptu revival meeting. I looked around the room. Apparently only the Peregrines and I were finding this amusing.
“Wow,” Chuckie said finally, breaking the horrified human and A-C silence in the room. “You’ve become Doctor Doolittle.”

We're back with the gang a few weeks after the end of Alien Diplomacy.
Jamie is having her teeth grow out, old enemies surprise and turn allies, presents from home planet make a commotion, androids and supersoldiers are popping everywhere and if all that wasn't enough, Jeff and Chuckie have gone AWOL.
The things I really liked about this book were a) Charles finding his true partner. We all knew it can't be Kitty. We all knew he just had to get a girl, and personally, I had my favorites for the job. So I was super happy one of my favs rose to the occasion! ;)
b) I loved the whole enemy-turned-frienemy thing that was going on.
C) Israelis!! LOL, for me, as an Israeli, it was great seeing those Israelis, especially in such a favorable light. Love, love, love!
As usual; lots of action, romance, and comedy.
But, and there is a big but, this book's ending came out as a giant shock for me because it was filled with gore! seriously, be warned, the last bits are kind of traumatizing. This series never had too much trouble with killing things off in horrible ways, but this one wasn't like that.
So, yeah. Be warned.

Wieder viel besser als der Vorgängerband. Kittys Witz, Charme und Spekulationstalent sind hier wieder auf dem absoluten Höhepunkt und sie ist in mehr Action verwickelt, auch wenn dahingehend das Finale noch ein kleinwenig ausbaufähig gewesen wäre.

Alien Vs. Alien is all I could have asked for in a Kitty Katt novel. Non-stop, heart stopping action by kick-ass characters that draw you in more and more with each book. One more time Gini Koch gives all the characters we have grow to love involved in out of this world schemes, plots and drama that make it impossible to put down.
I love seeing Kitty and Martini together and dealing with their enemies as a family. The whole AC extended family is always a treat to read about and I was very glad with their developments, especially regarding Chuck! =D
I do have to say that, I would have had a very hard time enjoying Alien Vs, Alien as much as I did, if I hadn’t read the previous books in the series. There are so many overarching plots, small plots, sub-plots, etc; that makes it hard to keep track if you are not intimate with them all from book one.
All in all, Alien Vs. Alien is everything I have come to expect from a Gini Koch book and more. The words she writes are like drugs, every time I finally get my fix, I can’t help wanting much more!

This took me forever to finish! There were just so many explanations, all usually given by Kitty, that my interest wavered a considerable amount. Plus, some parts were definitely a bit over-the-top. Still, when things started really happening, I couldn't stop reading. This book had some huge events taking place in it, and I'm really wondering what the rest of the series will be like now. Glad to see Jeff and Chuckie reach a certain understanding, although I thought that a certain thing surrounding Chuckie and another character came out of nowhere. Still, I know I'll eventually read the next book in the series.

Another fun entry. Though Reader was a bit one-note in this one :( But I love the pets.

This series is like so addicting and not because it's amazingly well written. Each installment is more outlandish and over the top but I can't help but get sucked into it. Kitty and her cohorts are larger than life but they don't take themselves seriously so you don't mind. In a world with supersoldiers, superbeings, and a crap load of aliens how can you not have a good time reading.
