Planning any wedding is hard enough, but Katherine "Kitty" Katt and Jeff Martini have a lot more to worry about than seating arrangements, because multiple interstellar invasions, Alpha Team in mortal peril, and inter-alien conspiracies are all on the guest list -- and the gifts they've brought explode.

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.

*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!

    I didn't read your review because I didn't want to spoil the previous books for me... But I am so glad that it lived up to your expectations (well, I am going to assume it did since you rated it 5/5)!
