How to Read the Alien Abduction Series

If you love your sci-fi romance with a heavy dose of laugh-out-loud humor, sassy heroines, and protective purple-skinned alien mercenaries, Eve Langlais' Alien Abduction series is the perfect escape. To get the most out of the world-building, family dynamics, and returning characters, we highly recommend reading the books in their order of publication.

Alien Abduction Publication and Chronological Order
