I fell utterly and absolutely in love with the world and characters that Gini Koch has created after I read Touched by an Alien. Ever since then I have been obsessed and have been drinking in each and every news about this series I could get, being it the new covers (which are AMAZING!) to the fact that Gini has actually signed a contract for a total of SIX BOOKS in the series so far.

However, I was a bit apprehensive, because of my huge expectations for this sequel and I was scared of being disappointed. I finished Alien Tango a few minutes ago and now I can positively say that I not only wasn’t disappointed, but, dare I say it, Alien Tango was even better than Touched by an Alien! I know it’s blasphemy, but bare with me. Touched by an Alien was incredible, but in Alien Tango I already knew most of the characters and it was easier to just get lost in their adventures and wackiness.

Alien Tango picks up about 5 months after the events in Touched by an Alien. Kitty is now the head of the Airborne division and part of the Alpha team. She and Martini have been dealing with the Superbeing threat all over the globe, but there seem to be less and less attacks for them to worry about. No worries there, no way things will be this easy for them, now we get a more human threat and this one is quite nasty.

Martini was just as lovable, sweet and hot as ever; but he and Kitty do run into some problems, relationship wise. I mean, it’s not easy to meet your boyfriend’s family when they come from a race that mostly doesn’t believe in interracial relationships. But this is where we can see how amazing these books are; Kitty doesn’t take ANYTHING laying down and always speaks her mind. She is by far one of the most amazing and kick-ass heroines I have ever read! I want to be her when i grow up =)

Alien Tango has everything I loved about Touched by an Alien and more! Fast paced story, tons of action and romance. Not to mention a lot of laugh out loud moments and some of the creepiest villains ever. I devoured and loved every second of it and I could not put it down for even a moment! So much goes on that half way through the book I felt like we had gone through a whole novel and I was happy to see I still had tons of more to read. I still wanted more in the end, I can never get enough Martini, Kitty and company, EVER!

Touched by an Alien was one of my favorite reads of 2010 and has definitely made its way into my favorite reads ever. Alien Tango is right up there and Gini Koch has become an absolute automatic buy for me! If you have yet to read this series, I have no idea what’s wrong with you! If you are a fan of Touched by an Alien, you will LOVE this one! ...more

I liked this just as much (maybe a little more?) than book 1. This didn't have Kitty's mom/dad/pets in this as much and they were missed. But, there is so much going on in the one. And it worked. The snark is still there and I really like Kitty's "voice."
This picks up a few months after book 1. Kitty is the leader of Alpha team, the human part of Centaurion Division. Her romance with Jeff is still on, hot and heavy, but she still has to meet his parents. It was nice to know that even aliens hav ...more

Book #2 of the Kitty Katt series and it was just as good as the first one.

Again a super hyped up X Files episode on drugs. LOL. This time the evil villans are human and not Superbeings from Outter Space.

Kitty and Jef and the rest of the Alpha team have been training and doing the usual when things go to hell and it seems that everyone is trying to kill them. It's political, it's a stalker, it's the potential mother-in-law from hell; pick all of the above.

Another fun filled episode, looking forwa ...more

Often ridiculous and out there, but always with a lot of heart, the Katherine "Kitty" Kat books are one adrenaline-filled ride through conspiracies, car chases, government entanglements, and explosions. They're fun, they're sexy, and never dull.

My only true gripe with this one is that it sometimes falls into romance cliches that I do not enjoy, such as overly jealous/possessive partners, a heroine who literally every guy she meets wants to bang, and sex that only can be described in excessive su ...more

Shelves: w-az, c, free-ebook

I heavily skimmed the entire book. The writing is not for me. It's very heavy on the dialogue--which I normally like--but it was ridiculous and over explanatory speech.

Kitty is the ultimate Mary Sue. Every guy is lusting after her at first sight while her boyfriend jumps to jealousy. Even the two gay guys say they’d go bi for her. Kitty is also the only one who can think her way through the plot. Every bit of insight comes from her. She’s also kickass and that’s great, but it seems like the men ...more

Just as good as Touched by an Alien. I am really liking this series and highly recommend it to anyone who likes a great heroine, beautiful men, quick comebacks and great twists in storyline.

Fantastic read. Gini Koch's blend of humor and action is right on target. The alligator scene alone had me laughing like a loon. I already have book 3 marked in my calendar for pick up. ...more

OMG! It was so good. Everything but a kitchen sink. Fun fun fun book. I was really into the A-Cs now. I loved the plot of this book better than the first one. It was action packed. One after another, really kept your interest going. The alligators part were genius & I was laughing the whole time. Characters were awesome. Kitty was hilarious. I really liked her. Jeff, I like him a little more in this book. I liked the old gang but ACE and Chuckie were now my new friends.

CAN'T WAIT to read the ne ...more

Absolutely love these two. Kitty is so much fun, she cracks me up. I wish she were real. And Jeff is like every other Alpha male character except for his insecurities, which I think are very cute. Can't wait to get my hands on the next book! ...more
