hypnoSnatch (Xeno Relations, #2)

Is it love, or is it alien abduction? In the far future, young human Antaska accepts a job to go into space with a gigantic alien adolescent. She brings her psychic cat along. Mischievous but evil part-reptile humanoids team up with Antaska’s nemesis--a genetically altered fitness instructor--to harass her to the ends of the universe, but her unexpected alien abduction spoils their plans. This science fiction dark comedy explores the many faces of love and its dark side, and pet ownership.
Pets and Masters in Space by Elfa Todari (a pen name for Trisha McNary) is the prequel to this book.
