Rating: 5 out of 5

At first this book surprised me with the sassy tone and the first person voice. But I immediately bonded with Rae, the heroine. Rae's efforts to control her swearing are endearing. "Crap on a cracker" cracked me up every time.Unlike Redaction, from the same author, a more serious novel I also loved but for different reasons, this book has tons of humor. Rae's mind is filled with ordinary concerns while she is sailing toward an alien base in Arizona. Alien? Yep. Believe it or not, the handsome neighbor she has been oogling is from another planet, and she is being kidnapped by another very handsome fellow, who swears he is the good guy from somewhere in space. Is she confused? You bet. But she is also very hungry from alien bug bites. And when you look closely, you realize that many of the inhabitants of her appartment complex are shapeshifters passing themselves as humans.With this book, it's official. Aliens are among us, and the Earth population has better get along with the program. It's happening, folks, and since I live in Arizona, it seems I'm in the middle of it all. Oh, Gooddie. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. I can't wait to see what this versatile author will cook up next for our reading pleasure.
