About this ebook

Life gets weird when you're adopted by an alien. One million years in the future, young human Antaska and her psychic cat are adopted as pets by a gigantic alien. Traveling in outer space, she becomes telepathic in a world where that's dangerous. Then she gets into a love triangle that's even more dangerous. Her cat tries to tell Antaska what she's doing wrong, but will she listen?

"This is a fun read you'll enjoy." - Mensa Bulletin

Formerly Pets and Masters in Space. An all-new ending has been added to this version (10/2018), and the first chapters of hypnoSnatch and Bonded in Space are included.

hypnoSnatch - Is it love, or is it alien abduction? Things keep getting weirder when Antaska travels in outer space with an alien and her psychic cat. Mischievous but evil part-reptile humanoids team up with Antaska's nemesis, a genetically enhanced fitness instructor, to take revenge on her to the ends of the universe. Her unexpected alien abduction spoils their plans.

Bonded in Space - Strange things happen when a crazy alien can't get you out of his mind.

Just out of space school, Pweet can't wait to take off from Earth. But she runs into problems with the giant aliens who take Earthlings into space. Marroo the slave hunter wants to forget about Antaska. So he comes up with the perfect plan. He'll kidnap another Earth female, experience her love, and then move on. But it's not working out like he expected. Now he's got feisty, high-maintenance Pweet on his hands. Antaska wants to forget about Marroo too, but can she? Two more psychic cats show up to adopt humanoids and read their minds when they feel like it.

Loved the first book, hated everything that followed. Felt the premise was unique and beyond captivating, but the rest of the series (written four years later) was beyond a disappointment. Especially the last book, in which there is no justice for Antaska as a victim, no shining moment for her as the hero, and no closure concerning the problems (Woogahs and human slavery) facing the universe. By the end, the series condoned assault and encouraged victim-blaming, shame, and something that resembled Stockholm syndrome. This was not a romantic sci-fi adventure. It was like watching a flower wither. I wish Antaska could have found some strength and confidence.

Alien Pets by Trisha McNary is a book that is part of the Xeno Relations series. In this book, a human named Antaska and her pet cat Potat are planning to get hired by a Verdante alien to take them into space as his or her human assistant. They end up getting picked by a shorter male Verdante named M. Hoyvil and the board the Verdante’s alien spaceship. This is the beginning of a very interesting discourse on who and or what a pet might or might not be. This book was a very entertaining and fun to read. The characters were all very well written and the interactions between them very realistic. I think that this book also has an excellent moral for anyone who is paying attention. This is the perfect book for anyone who enjoys a great story. Alien Pets is a great story about the amazing and interesting reality of pet ownership.

**** SPOILER ALERT **** "Alien Pets" was my first Introduction to McNary's writing. I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining and thought provoking story. I'll definitely be reading more of the author's work. McNary does a fine job of world building ( world building that is integral to the story ) in this tale about growing up and accepting responsibility for your actions. In addition the author did a superb job of weaving Antaska's, Potat's, and M. Hoyvil's, the three main viewpoint characters, threads within the story into an entertaining tapestry that draws in the reader. Q: Will Antaska survive Gym class? Q: What secret does Antaska hold in her head that could alter the future of Human/Feline/Verdante relations? A: Pick up this book, read it and find out!! You won't regret it! In the interest of transparency: I was given a free review copy of this book. I am voluntarily sharing this review which is my own honest opinion.

About the author

One day about four years ago, after a having a vivid dream about aliens the night before, I had to drive across my state to an appointment. The sky started pouring down unexpected snow, even though it was early spring. The trip that should have taken four hours turned into four hours just to get a third of the way. During that time, I started writing a book in my head based on that dream--or maybe the book started writing itself. I never made it to that appointment, but when I got back, I felt like I had to write that book. In the years that followed, more dreams came that filled in the plot for two entire books.
