A review by joejoereads
Chilling Effect, by Valerie Valdes

Did not finish book.
 I stop at 25% of the e-book on Hoopla. I had to DNF this book because I wasn’t enjoying it. I didn’t like the crew. None of the characters were good. Eva was annoying. I couldn’t stand her. She’s trying too hard to be a badass person. Eva completes the first two assignments way too easily. It feels like Deus ex machina. I also couldn’t stand her speaking Spanglish (Spanish and English). As a Spanish speaker (Mexican), I find Spanglish annoying. Some words in both languages, don’t sound right. For example, “El Cabron giant spider” doesn’t sound right. Cabron can either mean “bastard”, “bitch”, “son of bitch”, or “fucker”. That’s not what it’s really saying.

Overall, I didn’t like this book because of flat characters and Eva is annoying.
