Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes
3.0
With great power comes a great big plate of arroz con mango.
Chilling Effect has some of the cozy, found family vibes of Becky Chambers along with a dash of ridiculousness à la Hitchhiker's Guide. It's fast-placed, often wild, and sometimes funny.
While certainly an enjoyable read, I did feel like some of the characters felt a big two dimensional and the romance was a bit forced. I just needed a bit more out of the characters in order to truly feel for them.
Also, I was promised psychic cats and they barely showed up. I demand more psychic cats!
