Publisher's Summary

For Kim and her memory-challenged girlfriend Angel, a job searching for signs of alien activity implies sanctioned permission to do what needs to be done. Turns out, they’re going to need it! What they lack in skill and training they make up for with tenacity. But as a fan of science-fiction in all its forms, Kim feels up to the challenge. 

Their investigation attracts the notice of Naomi, an alien who’d rather find love and live in the world than enslave it. Naomi recognizes Angel as one of their own and dares to dream her own dreams of independence. If Angel could escape and become free, why couldn’t she? Fortunately, no one’s mentioned that becoming a supervillain isn’t necessarily the perfect way to blend in and avert suspicion.

And if the fate of the world hanging in the balance wasn’t bad enough, Kim suspects Angel wants to marry her! Kim believes she’s found the perfect solution to keep herself single and free, but lately her own motivations have come into question. Is seducing Angel to take away Angel’s reason to marry her really the best solution?

A sequel that finally answers the question, "Where the hell is book two?" 

What are Angel’s origins? Will Kim ever catch a clue and embrace her love for Angel? Will Naomi and her chosen love interest survive Angel’s potentially fatal attempts at matchmaking? How far can the author take this "romance to extreme" concept before running out of ideas?

Amazing narrator, funny yet annoying story

The narrator is godlike; best voicework I've ever heard. She puts a ton of emotions, which fits extremely well with those eccentric characters. 5/5

The story is a really funny comedy, but it occasionally push it a bit too far in my opinion. For most of the book, Kim is unable to follow even the simplest of discussions; I can't imagine how she could hold a job before or remotely function in society.

It gets worse when we start getting a second point of view character that's as neurotic as Kim.

So for the first two thirds of the book, I found myself spending 80% of my time annoyed at Kim and Naomi, and 20% laughing out loud at some superb comedy. The final third was all around amazing, and easily worth going through the annoying bits.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
