Daisy and her alien fiancé
Griffin are planning a big wedding, but not just any big wedding – the biggest
wedding the universe has ever seen. Daisy has been settling into life on
Griffin’s home world of Kalesstria, running her own intergalactic music shop
and planning for the big day. But things hit a road bump when there’s a problem
with Griffin’s father – and it’s a little more complicated than the usual
disapproving dad drama. Looks like “save the date” is going to have to take a
backseat to saving the universe…
Marrying an Alien Pop Star is the
perfect laugh-out-loud romantic finale to the beloved Alien Pop Star series.

EXCERPT:
Somehow,
every time I return to Earth, the awful smells that make up New York City seem
even more welcome to my nose. A woman can only be without the olfactory
cocktail of garbage, cheap coffee, morning cigarettes, and desperate hangovers
for so long.
Finally,
finally, here Griffin, Dev and I are, setting foot in the East Village with
nothing but our clothes, one bag, and a bunch of semi-counterfeited money.
Okay, not semi-counterfeited. Completely counterfeited. Griffin and Dev can
create stacks of fake Earth currencies with almost no effort, which is
disconcerting if I think about it for too long. I try not think about it at
all, actually.
Griffin
tips himself over a filthy looking garbage can and throws up for all he’s
worth. I wander away a little and stare at taxis rolling by, willing my own
stomach to calm down.
I’ve
‘traveled’ through space several times with Griffin, but it really doesn’t make
it any easier, evidenced by my stomach’s gleeful attempt to empty everything
inside it as soon as we land at our destination. Usually, I can bully my
stomach into calming down before anything actually manages to come up, but the
same can’t be said for Griffin. Somehow, he’s a million times worse at
traveling through space than I am, despite his people’s advanced capabilities.
And
see, I love him, and aspire to comfort him when he’s feeling sad or sick, but I
know better than to get too close at a time like this. Besides, that’s exactly
what Griffin’s best friend Dev is for.
Aforementioned
best friend makes a beeline for Griffin, sidling up to him and patting him on
the back. “It’s alright,” he says, in the special soothing voice he uses for
Griffin in times of stomach disaster. “Just breathe through your nose, Griff.
Pretend you’re on a horizon. Everything is still. Nothing moves. You’re
weightless and blissful.”
Griffin
raises his head and grumbles something about not feeling very blissful, and
then lurches forward to vomit again.
Where
Griffin is dark haired and pale and pointy, Dev’s handsomely golden in every respect.
His skin always looks freshly sun-kissed, and his big gray eyes seem rested
even when he hasn’t slept. He’s a calming force on everyone he comes into
contact with, even his manic best friend. “Find your calm, Griff. You’re
alright. You’re weightless and–”
“I’m
not alright!” Griffin replies, flailing his hands around while still leaned
fully over the bin.
Dev
pats Griffin on the back. “I’m proud of you, Griff. You programmed our trip
this time, and you didn’t kill any of us.”
His
praise is justified, because this is actually kind of a big deal. Griffin is
infamously terrible at travel, and has sent himself to a few dangerous places
by accident over the years. Of course, reminding him of this fact never goes
over well, and today is no exception. He raises his head again to pin Dev with
a nasty look.
“I
happen to be…” he starts to say, and then takes a long pause, “somewhat better
at traveling than I used to be, thank you very much.” With that, he pukes
again, and Dev bites his lower lip to keep from smiling.
