Every bit as fun as [bc:Touched by an Alien 7283762 Touched by an Alien (Katherine “Kitty” Katt, #1) Gini Koch http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1277088475s/7283762.jpg 8498290]! Come on, [bc:Alien in the Family 8714075 Alien in the Family (Katherine “Kitty” Katt, #3) Gini Koch http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1285844542s/8714075.jpg 13586954]! (It says “expected publication April 5, 2011” which is pretty specific if you ask me! I know from reading other authors' blogs, though, that these dates can get changed at the last minute, so as much as I want it, I'm not holding my breath.)
So in this installment Kitty and Martini are still going strong and Kitty is now head of Centaurion's Airborne Alpha Team.
The things that I enjoyed about this installment are continuous from the first book. Kitty's ability to figure things out was still on point, but more so Alpha Team in general was amazing to read about in action. The murder mystery plot situation was by far the best story line this book had to offer. I say this because I had some issues with the overarching romance plot that will be discussed down below.
For now, I want to talk about the writing and characters. The writing was brilliantly suited to the action-packed pacing of the thrilling plot lines. There was the dueling plots of jealous whacko wannabe girlfriend of an ex-boyfriend, and the evidence that humans are way more evil than A-Cs give them credit for. Both were unbelievably titillating and the use of certain large swamp reptiles was a nice touch.
But how can I not mention the biggest evolution in the book when Kitty finally gets to meet Martini's family. Oh boy was that fun to read. I can only tease because you have to read it for yourself to truly grasp the enormity. All I can really say is that the authors writing doesn't fail in drawing you in with the high-level emotions. (My professional way of saying “All the feels!”)
Some of the things that I didn't enjoy had to do mainly with the ending. There were some parts that didn't seem like they could be happening because their explanations hadn't been revealed yet and the plot twists seemed too extreme to be plausible. However, it wasn't the appearance of the plot twists that I had a problem with–because once they were explained, they made more sense–but Kitty's reaction as well as the events that happened after. They just seemed like a convenient way to introduce a character that had been teased about since the first book.
The second thing that I didn't like about the ending was the immediate cutoff after the resolution. Kitty and Martini weren't given a chance to communicate about their issues which I would have really liked to see because I'm finding it to be a pretty scarce occurrence.
However, overall, in no way is that ending going to stop me from continuing this series until the end. I've officially committed to the characters and their individual stories. I need to see what other shenanigans they get caught up in and how they work their way out. And I'm holding out hope that one day Kitty and Martini will sit down and talk. (Hell, I don't even care if it's in the middle of sexing, I just need some clarity about their relationship, is that too much to ask? ;)
Love~
I still have the same issues with this book, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying it. Really really can't wait for the next book to get into my hands.
