Alien Nation (Katherine "Kitty" Katt #14)

by Gini Koch

December 6th 2016 by DAW

Paperback, 560 pages

It’s a typical day of bureaucracy and stress for President and First Lady Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini, made more stressful when alien spacecraft are spotted making a beeline for Earth, none of them from the Alpha Centauri system. Then a cryptic request from an old adversary pulls Kitty out of the White House and into an explosion—and an even more explosive situation. Not only is the Mastermind back in the game, influencing the Club 51 True Believers to find and destroy all Centaurion bases, but he’s also found a dangerous benefactor and created some frightening new cloning abilities.

And, just to make things a little more challenging, those alien spacecraft are coming to ask Kitty for protection, and asylum on Earth. Police stations being blown up and war helicopters in play aren’t enoughto keep Kitty down, especially when she’s got some new alien friends helping out. But what these aliens share will rock the world—the other aliens on their way to Earth are fleeing an enemy so terrifying that even a Z’porrah ship is trying to get to Earth for safety and protection. And if Earth isn’t able to stop this threat, there may not be anything left of humanity. Now Kitty and Company have to figure out where the Mastermind is and stop him, before any new aliens land. And then they have to save the world from a deadly invasion. Or, as Kitty calls it, Thursday.

Gini Koch lives in the American Southwest, works her butt off (sadly, not literally) by day, and writes by night with the rest of the beautiful people. Touched by an Alien, the first in her Alien/Katherine “Kitty” Katt Series, received a starred review from Booklist and was named one of Booklist’s Top Ten adult science fiction and fantasy novels of 2010. Gini started writing as an excuse to stay up late playing on the computer while listening to rock music and mooning over pictures of hunky men. She’s thrilled all that drooling has finally paid off.

I like to donate to local charities. Especially food banks. I have kids in the public school system and I've seen children whose only good meal each day is the school lunch. I know giving to a local food bank directly helps the families in my area.

Being the wife of the Vice President isn’t easy. Especially when your talents lie in kicking butt and rocking out…

Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini find out just how easy it is for the wife of the Vice President of the United States to unintentionally insult an ally. Now they have to smooth things over with the Australian Prime Minister, pronto, or risk creating an international incident the worldwide anti-alien coalitions will be able to use to force Jeff to resign and the A-Cs to leave the planet.

But before Kitty can make things worse, a cosmic congruence and a little help from some powerful beings shoves her into another world -- one where she’s been married to Charles Reynolds for years and aliens don’t exist. She’s also landed in the middle of a huge conspiracy and is marked for death…but at least that’s business as usual.

Kitty’s not the only one confused, because the Kitty from that world has taken her place in this one. Now Alpha Team and the Diplomatic Corps have to make sure that no one spots that there’s been a switch, while keeping World War III from happening. And they have to do so while keeping this new Kitty in line, because she has views about what to do and how to it, and time is running out.

Can both Kittys save their respective days before it’s too late to go home to the universes they belong to? Or will one Kitty decide to keep the other’s life…forever?

Book Review: Alien Collective (book 9) by Gini Koch book tour + giveaway

Alien Collective (Book 9) 

Alien Novels 

By: Gini Koch 

Fantasy/Romance 

Plot: 

Despite not having run for office, nor wanting to remain in office, Representative Jeff Martini is being wooed as the vice presidential running mate for a charismatic senator who seems likely to win the campaign. While the Diplomatic Corps has to deal with the pressures of a political campaign sure to uncover secrets they don’t want shared with the world, Ambassador Kitty Katt-Martini has other worries—handling the reemergence of her most potent nemesis, thought dead and buried. 

Gini Koch is all of the following; (and possibly more I've left out) wacky, spunky, flirty, off-the-wall, snarky, energetic, orgasm donor (she gets the joke), caring, giving, shoot first, picked up dead bodies later, sister-wife for life, Coke loving, rocker chick to the core. With a dash of cinnamon just to spice it up! This wonderful fantasy writer is ALL of these things and her amazing color pallet bleeds through to the pages. When you have this much to give, it shows in all that you do! 

I've been a fan of Gini's from the moment I read her first Alien novel. She's off the wall in all the right ways, and her crazy mixed with my crazy makes one hell of a crazy baby! But he's so cute! You can call him smushy and make him your own! 

Here we are, waist deep into this amazing series and Gini continues to have fun with each installment. Her characters are their own kind of wacky and I enjoy the different personalities. Main kick butt gal, Kitty Katt, is one heck of a leading woman, she's in your face at times and off in comic lala land the next. But never let this comic fangirl fool you, she knows what's doing and is bound to figure it all out! (Eventually!) Kitty is a flame-throwing breath of fresh air and I enjoy her snarky antics. Along with her unyielding love of family and friends. A protector to the core! 

Alien Collective has all that you could want in a fantasy/romance story, plus a bunch of extra side dishes on the house. Gini yet again pulls no punches in serving up her dialog with gusto. With continued plotting to take out all the Aliens on Earth, her team has to save, not only their race, all innocent lives that get caught in the cross fire. Bombs are about to go off! 

If you've yet to read this series do NOT start here. You'll miss out on all the fun and buildup to this point. These stories are dialog heavy with many characters and ever changing plots, if you're looking for a fast read this won't be it. Gini makes you think and the fun is in uncovering the mastermind behind each plot!
