Well. This one was MUCH better, more like the earlier books in the series. People finally got over their stupid "let's keep Kitty in the dark" bullcrap (may that be a dead story thread that is never resurrected, please), and for the most part, it felt like the team found a better balance for working together.

There were still a couple points where I wanted to punch Reader - what is with his constant need to blame Kitty for everything - but I was happy to see them get back to old form after a ser ...more

4.5 stars!

*NO Spoilers!

Kitty is back! Every “Alien” novel that comes out, is like finally getting a piece of your favorite dessert after too long without it! You are always feeling like you could have eaten much more.

I can’t believe we are already in book 7 of the Katherine “Kitty” Katt series. Gini Koch’s books are always a treat to read and Alien in the House is NO exception!

Kitty is back, along with all the friends, family and enemies she has acquired throughout the series. Alien in the House 4.5 stars!

Kitty is back, along with all the friends, family and enemies she has acquired throughout the series. Alien in the House has a bit of a different pace from the previous books in the series, however. It is still a very fast-paced story and there is plenty of action. But, Alien in the House felt more like an in-between book. It was very dialogue oriented, which I LOVE, made us aware of a far-reaching arch from all the books and sets us up for much more action in the future.

We get a lot of Kitty and Martini time in Alien in the House. We also get to catch up with other couples in the series and even see some more budding romances all around. I love that and I love seeing the characters I have come to love from book one, find love.

One thing I did have an issue with was that there are SO many characters in the series, that the year since Alien Vs. Alien came out, meant that it took me awhile to situate myself. But, once I did, Alien in the House was a great political thriller that I could not put down for a second.

I loved Alien in the House, but in a different way from the previous books in the series. I mean, it still had the signature Gini Koch humor I so adore. However, it felt more like a Thriller/Murder Mystery novel than a Sci-Fi and I honestly was cool with that. It was a very interesting change of pace for the series, but a welcome one.

Alien in the House is another great addition to one of my favorite series EVER! I do caution you that, if you haven’t read the previous books in the series, it might be confusing. However, the Katherine “Kitty” Katt / Alien series is so freaking good, that you need to read them all anyways!

Kitty Katt-Martini does it again!

Someone is bumping off America's elected officials and no-one's noticed so far, until a murder happens right in front of Kitty in the middle of a big political dinner party at the AC Embassy. As the victim is someone Kitty likes, she is intent on finding the murderer and the why of it.

One thing leads to another and it is obvious that once again many plots are in action; many deaths later, Raul the assassin, Kitty's "Uncles" Peter the Dingo & Surly Vic, the Bride ...more

Still fun but a couple of things kept me from enjoying it as much as the others. First the cast of characters has gotten too big for me I know who the main players are but I'm kind of lost with the second tier. The other is a bit of a spoiler so I'll just say that I thought Kitty did something that made me question her "good guy" status. Mostly still a lot of fun though. ...more
