It will have fanciers of cinematic sf parodies referencing Men in Black, Ghost Busters, and X-Men." -Booklist "...a fun romp reminiscent of an extended X-Files episode. There are, of course, the Aliens mentioned in the title, a big bad guy, an ordinary-yet smart and capable woman thrust into unusual circumstances, humor, a spicy bit of romance...All make for a truly enjoyable read ." -BookMom "Trust me when I say, Koch makes it work. This book never tries to take itself too seriously; instead it's all kinds of fun , and pokes a sharp finger at pop culture moments..." -Tempting Persephone "...a fun, fast-paced and sexy read..." -ALPHA Reader

SynopsisSci-fi action meets steamy paranormal romance in Gini Koch's Alien novels, as Katherine "Kitty" Katt faces off against aliens, conspiracies, and deadly secrets. * "Futuristic high-jinks and gripping adventure." -- RT Reviews Marketing manager Katherine "Kitty" Katt had just finished a day on jury duty. When she stepped out of the Pueblo Caliente courthouse, all she was thinking about was the work she had to get caught up on. Then her attention was caught by a fight between a couple that looked like it was about to turn ugly. But ugly didn't even begin to cover it when the "man" suddenly transformed into a huge, winged monster right out of a grade Z science fiction movie and went on a deadly killing spree. In hindsight, Kitty realized she probably should have panicked and run screaming the way everyone around her was doing. Instead she sprinted into action to take down the alien. In the middle of all the screeching and the ensuing chaos, a hunk in an Armani suit suddenly appeared beside her, introduced himself as Jeff Martini with "the agency," and then insisted on leading her to a nearby limo to talk to his "boss." And that was how Kitty's new life among the aliens began...

  • Great Series!

    As a writer myself, Gini grabs your attention from the first chapter and tells the story from a perspective of a 'normal' person that anyone can relate to. Her humor, attitude and interaction between the characters is top notch. I'm on book 6 of this series and am still looking forward to what's going to happen to Kitty next.
