Things are going great for Kitty and Martini. Work is good, their relationship is good, Jeff just won't let Kitty meet his family. Oh, and it's against his religion to marry a human. Kitty isn't in a hurry to marry, she can be patient. Unfortunately, Martini's parents aren't willing to give them the time. There's also some pressure on the government to use the A-C's as weapons (one step away from slavery). In the midst of this, a NASA space shuttle is returned to earth - right back to it's launching pad- and something is in the astronaut. The alpha team agrees to go to NASA to help out, but their trip is tangled by human politics, an anti-alien hate group, and strained family relations.

I liked Touched By An Alien, but Kitty kind of got on my nerves in Alien Tango. For someone who isn't as good looking as the Dazzlers (the A-C women), she seems to have almost every male falling over themselves for her. It got old. And dude!, she and Martini have had sex in almost every airport in the world. These two have sex all the time. Great, I'm happy for you, but when do you find time to do anything else? There was also one bit close to the end when things are going badly and I kept thinking if I could figure out what was wrong, Kitty should also. Sorry that's not very descriptive, I'm trying hard to leave out spoilers. It's not a long list of complaints, but these negatives have colored my feelings toward Alien Tango.

But it's not all doom and gloom people, there were things I like. The humor, as usual, was great - pop culture laden quirkiness at its best. Jeff Martini continues to get better. I felt bad that he and his family had this huge disconnect. It's quickly and realistically explained why Jeff has a hard time figuring out his family, and while I sympathize with the Martini clan, they've had almost 30 years to figure things out and they couldn't do it. I hope to see more of this evolving relationship in book 3, Alien In The Family. There were a lot of things going on in this book, but it wasn't hard to keep track of the different plot threads. The plot twists were pretty good, though one resolution seemed a bit silly (i.e. Gower). And boy, Koch can write a great crazy lady (I'm hoping this is not from experience). We also get lots of Reader, I love him, and Christopher is a much more likable character this go around. There's also a scene towards the end where Kitty is by herself with the bad guy and things are going badly. I felt this had the right amount of "heaviness" for such a humorous book.

Verdict:
Once again Koch has delivered a fast paced story with great humor and well explained science fiction elements. I still think this is a great series for those who don't typically read science fiction but want to try it out. The sci-fi elements are not overwhelming and flow well with the story - it doesn't get tedious. It also has humor, romance, action, and mystery, a little something for everyone. Unfortunately, what sticks the most with me is how tired I got of all these different guys being in love with Kitty (and arguing over her). And to be fair, it wasn't every male character, but it did start to feel like that after awhile.
I liked Touched By An Alien better, and I will still be buying Alien In The Family, but I give Alien Tango 3 out of 6 stars.

Alien Tango Alien Novels Gini Koch Books Reviews

I fell madly in love with "Touched By An Alien" and couldn't wait to read the next book, "Alien Tango". "Alien Tango" was another fast-paced, funny, and charming novel featuring newly appointed Head of Airborne division, Kitty Katt and her group of alien and human members of the Centaurion Division of the government. This time the Alpha Team are called to Florida to investigate at Kennedy Space Center when on of their spacecrafts returns from space very unexpectedly and with some oddly behaving astronauts. Soon the gang is up to their eyeballs in murders, an alien hate group, and alligators!

The story was still a funny one with several laugh outloud moments for me. I still really liked Kitty and all the side characters. The mysteries were interesting, if a little too complex this time around. I found myself confused a few times. The action scenes were intense and sometimes over the top (in a good way). What would an Alien novel be without Kitty getting herself into some really strange situations? I also like the fact that Koch took this book away from the superbeing plot from the first book. They events are still alien intense but from a different angle and I think that really helped keep this book fresh and a completely different book that the first. Gini Koch is obviously a very talented author and this is an extremely fun concept for a series.

I do have some complaints or little things that annoyed me that I would like to mention. I got tired very quickly of every many Kitty meets falling in love with her or flirting with her. It was really ridiculous in "Alien Tango". It is mentioned a couple times that she is far from the most beautiful woman around since the alien women are so hot, but that fact doesn't seem to make it any easier to stomach. She received three marriage proposals in one way or another in this book and thats just ridiculous. Also mentioned too many times was the fact that Kitty is 'dense' when it comes to noticing that all these men are into her. The 'dense' ends up coming across as plain stupid, which Kitty really isn't. It unrealistic to think Kitty wouldn't notice these men drooling over her. Also, another Kitty pet peeve in this book was the fact that she personally figure out about 90% of all the mysteries or unexplained happenings in this book. With a team as large and talented as the Centaurian Division this is just outlandish. I want to see the other guys/girls be a hero or be smart occassionally. I just really like Kitty and the world in these books and I don't want to see Kitty fall into a "Mary Sue" type of character. These books are far too good for that.

If you love paranormal romances or fun fantasy novels, I really encourage you to pick up this series starting with "Touched By An Alien" (yeah I cringe at the name too, but its not the book that title makes it seem like it will be). They are incredibly fun and entertaining books that I am afraid will get overlooked by readers of these genres. I am very glad I stumbled upon these and dispite my complaints I have mentioned in this review, I still believe the book really stands out as one of the better ones out there.
