Super-Being Exterminator Kitty Katt and the Alpha Centaurian she loves, Jeff Martini, should be finalizing their wedding plans. But that was before she discovers Jeff is in line to become Emperor back on his home world. Kitty knows she is everything a royal family wouldn't approve of, and is bracing herself for the worst. As it turns out, the royal family is just the beginning. Especially when extraterrestrial Amazonian terrorists are determined to start and end Kitty and Jeff's nuptial festivities with a bang.
My thoughts:
I adore this funny series. Everything about it is utterly silly and amazing. Maybe I should just write a review why I like the series instead of going in to "analyse" (not that I truly do that either;).
You know what, that sounds like an excellent idea.
Reason why you should read Alien in the Family.

1. Jeff Martini.
He is just so so, awww hug attack! Yes he is really jealous and he really wants her. But I love him even when he thinks she flirts with someone else. The poor guy has a lot of emotional trauma since he is an empathy and can feel everything.

2. Kitty
She is funny, sassy and just everything. She says the strangest things, she does the strangest things. She became a commander of the airborne just cos she is so freaking cool. The aliens love her and I would love to have her as my bff.

3. Reader
Kitty would totally run away with him if he was straight. Sadly he is not and therefore they are best friends and he is lovely and funny.

4. Poofs
In this book you meet poofs. What they are, well on the cover you can see something scary. One of the scary things are the poofs I think. So adorable and scary pets.

5. Funny!
I have mentioned it before but this series is just so funny. There is one scene that had my giggling. I will not tell you what happened but it was hysterical. Kitty is the best.

6. Christopher
I have to mention him too. Jeff's cousin and sometimes I am a tiny bit team Christopher too. If she only could get them both. And he glares! I love this glares. I think the only one I did not like was Chuckie, back off Chuckie. Kitty is only for aliens.

Conclusion:
There you have it. This series is funny, cute, there is romance, danger, freaky aliens and you will never sit there and say "I have seen that". Nope it is fresh and weird.

ReplyDeleteTouched by an alien is in my TBR pile and has been since it was first released but has never made up the pile...think it will be one of the few paper books I take away with me next month though. I can read it by the pool! :)
I want a Poof, a Reader and a Martini oh so badly.
ReplyDeleteI need to get caught up on this series, I really enjoyed the first one. Especially Martini. Yum:)

ReplyDeleteLove your review style!
This sounds like a fun series! "poofs" sound quite unique!Nice review :)
ReplyDeleteThe list of cover elements gave me the giggles!

ReplyDeleteI loved this review!!! This is one of my favorite series, and have I told you I named my kindle after Martini? Welcome to the Alien Collective!
ReplyDeleteFresh and weird is something I haven't heard before in a review. Must be quite the unique story.
ReplyDeleteSounds totally out there but works and is fun at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAaaa, you are getting through this series to fast for me. lol. I want to get to it too. But I just can't seem to get there. :) Thanks for the great review!
ReplyDeleteI would not have known this series is so funny, but for your review. I am intrigued about the Poof too!
ReplyDeleteI would read it if I liked Sci-Fi even just 1% but I so don't.
ReplyDeleteLove the Reasons Why list. I've got to get it. How did I miss this series?
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this series! Kitty/Martini are awesome and Kitty/Reader are so sweet! Can't wait for Alien Proliferation.
ReplyDeleteI love how completely intriguing and entertaining this sounds! Fab review...this captured my attention :)
ReplyDeleteWooot after reading this I want to go back to this series. I only read book 1 so far. I'm not sure why!
ReplyDeleteI guess I wasn't in a UF/Alien mood when I read book 1 ;)
@Missie
ReplyDeleteReader is awesome and there is this one scene...oh ia m dying to tell you about it since aww. Anyway ;) Sadly he has a great boyfriend already.
Thanks! I just could not write the same old same old for this one
@Naida
They were great. Small pets that got huge and could eat people. Lol.
@Chris
Well they are all there ;) That santos is a genius
@Lis
Yes she is. Cos they get married in this one
Jeff and Kitty sound amazing! I have been hearing so much about this series, I am amazed how I have been able to control myself from ordering the first book immediately.

I started the first in the series on my nook - with the free test down load. I liked it - quite a bit actually. :)

@Teddy
Lol, thanks :D
@Larissa
I on that team too :D
This is another series off books I've heard great things about. I don't know why I am still so apprehensive about checking them out because your review rocked!!! Maybe I really should give it a go and just try to read one of them...maybe...I'll put these on my to check out later pile.
ReplyDeleteDeanna
ReplyDeleteYou must :D The poofs the poofs! And Martini, awww, the books are pure heaven
I normally have very few complaints about this series, but something about this particular book just didn't click with me. Maybe it was the wedding, I liked seeing more of the AC culture but it was really long and a bit slow.
ReplyDeleteJennifer
ReplyDeleteWell you are right, there was something off perhaps, but I still loved it ;) it did take a while for things to build up
