UPDATE :First read, borrow from my friend, and then I win a signed copy of Touched by an Alien, from the author herself. Thanks, Ms Gini Koch! You're rock, like Kitty too!! =)


Actually, I'm torn to give this book between 4 and 5 stars

Let me see...
My reason why I want to give it 5 stars :

- Katherine Katt, a.k.a Kitty is my kind of heroine ===> She can kick her enemy ass and maybe yours as well! And she has a weird kind of humor. Oh, don't forget her sarcasm

- Jeff Martini -an Alpha Centaurion alien and agent too, wearing Armani suit (imagine agent in Men in Black, if you want) - is sexy, hot, alpha man, an empath that understand people's emotion. He's falling in love head over toe to Kitty. Want to marry her, want to have kids with her, care about her, get possessive over her.. ===> my new boyfriend *wink2*

- The story is full of action, fast-paced and humorous ===> I love it and laugh a lot

- Kitty's parent have a secret. And that's really-really make Kitty shock when she know it. But Kitty still love them. ===> Family theme is always the best

- May I introduce you to Christopher White. Jeff's cousin, an Alpha Centaurion alien with good looking. He seems to hate Kitty for the first time (call her princess, mock her). But be patient, after some part, you will know, Christoper's feeling to Kitty is different from what it seen, and it make Jeff-Kitty relationship got rocky! ===> The story will lack appeal, when the hero and heroine's relationship seems fine. And, oh be careful with Christoper's Glare. He has various "glare". From Glare #1 until Glare #5...

- Kitty has many way to defeat the alien. Kill the alien with ballpoint? Check! Sprout the alien with hairspray? Check! Confused the enemy with rock n roll music (especially Aerosmith)? Check, check, check! ===> forget gun, grenade, tank, jet. You can defeat Alien with simple things...

Now...
My reason, why I reduce the stars :

- The political and religious aspect, make me confused! *_* Especially from Alpha Centaurion, but maybe its the way the author used to describe the world in this book.

- There are some event when Kitty looks weak. When she supposed to be strong, and sometimes she looks annoying too. But I think that's fine.

- Some action scenes in this book make me lost when read it. Too fast maybe. And sometimes the conversation make me confused too, because there are no explanation, who is talking and who is reply..

- Lack of Martini scene!! Yes, I want more Martini, I don't care if the story just about Martini and Kitty *just kidding, lol*


So, I decided to give this book 4 stars. But don't worry, this book is good. If you agree with my reason to give this book 5 stars and you love science fiction genre and some romance too, you will enjoy this ^^

Looking forward for the second book Alien Tango (Katherine "Kitty" Katt, #2)

And please, let this book have more Martini's scene....
