If you&#8217;re like me and are not sure why you&#8217;re reading, you&#8217;ll still wonder, but you&#8217;ll probably keep reading. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Kitty Kat isn&#8217;t a great character. She&#8217;s essentially a comic book geek whose superhero fantasies are coming true. And hey, I kind of get that. I&#8217;m no comic book geek, but I had the normal amount of superhero fantasies. The thing is that as a reader, I like my characters to make a certain degree of sense, even when they are playing a wish fulfillment role. Kitty doesn&#8217;t make sense. She was in marketing, and now she&#8217;s morphed into a heroine archetype &#8212; tough, witty, thinks on her feet. Yet months have passed since she learned about aliens and started dating one, but she still hasn&#8217;t learned much of anything about them. She has materials she could be reading, but apparently she&#8217;s to cool for that sort of thing. Um&#8230;but how do you make lightening-quick decisions and put together pieces of a complex puzzle involving alien conspiracies when you don&#8217;t really understand the context? <\/p>\n<p>But the book remains kind of fun. So turn off your brain and enjoy the ride!<\/p>\n<p>Rating: 3\/5<\/p>\n<p>Title: Alien Tango<br \/>\nAuthor: Gini Koch<br \/>\nGenre: Science Fiction<br \/>\nISBN: 0756406323<br \/>\nPublished December 7th 2010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second volume in the super-sexy alien fantasy series follows the style of the first, so if you liked it, you&#8217;ll like this one too.
