Histoire
In a demilitarized zone on the border of human space, long range spy satellites are mysteriously going quiet, and no one know why. Captain Susan Kamala and her crew are dispatched to figure out what's going on and solve the problem. That problem, however, is a mysterious, bleeding-edge alien ship that no human vessel could hope to match in open conflict. But, it's not spoiling for a fight. Now, the Captain and her crew must figure out how to navigate a complicated game of diplomacy, balancing the needs of their corporate overlords and the honest desire for a lasting peace....

Histoire
An existence spent being forced to kill others to satiate a Monster. Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe. Except that very same Monster is and isn’t Rene. It just happened to live inside his own mind and force him to do what it wanted. Rather than being an actual Monster. That was Rene’s entire life until a fateful day changed that. A day that the career as a hitman for hire built on the Monster’s needs will end. Where Rene will be forced to atone for his actions. To be held accountable and judged.

Description
A hilarious, offbeat debut space opera that skewers everything from pop culture to video games and features an irresistible foul-mouthed captain and her motley crew, strange life forms, exciting twists, and a galaxy full of fun and adventure.
Captain Eva Innocente and the crew of La Sirena Negra cruise the galaxy delivering small cargo for even smaller profits. When her sister Mari is kidnapped by The Fridge, a shadowy syndicate that holds people hostage in cryostasis, Eva must undergo a series of unpleasant, dangerous missions to pay the ransom.
But Eva may lose her mind before she can raise the money. The ship’s hold is full of psychic cats, an amorous fish-faced emperor wants her dead after she rejects his advances, and her sweet engineer is giving her a pesky case of feelings. The worse things get, the more she lies, raising suspicions and testing her loyalty to her found family.
To free her sister, Eva will risk everything: her crew, her ship, and the life she’s built on the ashes of her past misdeeds. But when the dominoes start to fall and she finds the real threat is greater than she imagined, she must decide whether to play it cool or burn it all down.

Entertaining and original
As a bilingual person, I really enjoyed the dual nature of the narration. The insults and zingers in Spanish are colorful and effective! The reader does a great job reading them with the right amount of feeling and sarcasm. I wish there had been more on the psychic cats!

Amazing!
Yes, there are some basic Spanish words and phrases included in the book which add to the depth of the characters. Anyone who can even just recognize that it's Spanish and not "some foreign language " should be perfectly able to understand given the context of the story.

Unfunny mashup of other people's ideas
I'm not sure where the line between "inspired by"/"is a reference to" and "just plain copied off of" is but I'd be willing to bet this book pole vaulted over it. It's a mismatch of other sci-fi franchises. Mass Effect mostly but I've also noticed Futurama, Portal, and a bunch of others. I'm not sure where the "hilarious" descriptor in the description comes from and the pop culture references weren't really references. They were just plot points and characters lifted from other works.
I can tell that Becky Chambers is a big influence on the author but shit is too bad for it to be a Chambers work. The story begins with the Protagonist's sister getting kidnapped by a galactic-wide crime ring then she almost gets kidnapped and forced into some despots harem and then things get WORSE. I just want her to have a nap.
This book's other big failing is that it introduces some really interesting characters and then does nothing with them. There's a girl who has basically uploaded her consciousness into a ship and you're not going to explore that?
Edit: I would like to specifically call out the other reviewer who left this one star just because they're racist. The book is in English, the protagonist is Latinx and occasionally peppers her language with Spanish phrases. I don't speak Spanish but I can easily tell from context clues you can easily tell that these are mostly curses. That other commenter should be ashamed of himself.

Pretty Solid listen
Overall this book is pretty good. You can find a bunch of parallels to other Sci-Fi influences in the story so it's pretty easy to relate to the world and the characters. My biggest issue is you could tell some story beats are coming and how they would play out and the end seemed to drag for me a bit. Not a game changer but its there. As for the other reviewer that was pointing out "Some foreign language", Clearly this character is speaking Spanish. I've never spoken it in my life but I was able to gather what was going on and what the gist was. I chock that up to the Awesome Narration.

Listed as English but not all of it is in English.
Started listening to this book and it seemed like it would be a fairly good story "but" the characters keep using a language other than English. I thought I had purchased an English audio book for I do not speak or understand any other language but English. It got so bad that I had to return this book for I could not keep up with what was going on.

Not at all humorous, difficult book to finish.
First, Kudos to the author for creating something and getting it published.
Second, when I discovered this book it was under science fiction humor. This book was definitely not a comedy, it was closer to a depressing drama with an occasional joke.
I felt the character development was terrible. So much time was spent on focusing about who's lying to who, that I thought it was listening to a PSA on the dangers of lying.
Character motivations were not fluid and there was no growth throughout the book.
I think a good science fiction book is something that makes you feel like the described future technology technology makes sense.In this book I felt it was more like hey let's throw a super gadget at this okay now let's throw a super gadget at that.
- obviously the author enjoyed playing the Portal.
The voice actor was good.

Slow start that picks up
I originally started this book because I was excited to see a latinx presence in sci-fi. I was not disapointed with the representation in the book, and there is not so much spanish used that you can't figure out by tone and context what is being said. The story does meander a bit at the start, but it does eventually take off and is very engaging once it does. I wanted to know what happened to the captain, her family, the crew, the cats, etc. It's worth the read if you're okay with a slower start to the real story.

A rollicking space adventure
Captain Eva Innocente and her crew of misfits bounce from mishap to adventure in just the way the crews of Serenity or Moya did, but with an added twist of wry humor.

basic fun
It was alright. I tend to prefer my sci fi either much meatier, or much funnier. This was a cute, light adventure, with aliens that look/smell whacky, but basically all behave like humans, and humans that behave predictably but entertainingly.
*vague spoiler* I was a little disappointed by the ending--the main character's conflict with a major criminal organization was never really resolved, so I guess this means sequel? Jury is still out on whether I will be picking that up.

Flip-flopping between 1-star and 5-stars
The author created a story that had so much potential, characters who could have done so much, and a storyline that could have been one of the greats. Then she decided to provide an underperforming and melancholy story. There were times I loved this story. There were times I hated this story. More often, I was Meh'ed by the story. I liked the possibilities that were there for the tough-talking heroine MC and her ragtag crew. I sometimes loved what the MC was doing and how she was doing it, and then she would start complaining about everything and then doing the whole, "all the people who got hurt were my fault. Oh wait, no it's not my fault, it's the bad guys fault. Oh wait, it's my fault and on and on." Honestly, I think the author has a good concept but going by this novel, she just doesn't know how to make something great out of the concepts.
Oh, and whoever wrote the short and called it hilarious should be banned from writing shorts. This was not funny, I don't think I even cracked a smile while listening.
All in all, I was very disappointed, but there were parts of this story that were so great that it makes me want to get book 2 and see if the author was able to pull things together in book 2 and provide "a full meal" instead of awesome appetizers with fried SPAM for the main course. The only way that is going to happen is if they put it on Audible Plus or a $5 sale, so I'm probably done with this series.

Not the best medium for this story
It's definitely entertaining, unique, funny at times, and is certainly not bad by any means, but Chilling Effect seems to rely too much on situational comedy, where the characters find themselves in unusual situations and settings (which there's nothing wrong with). But books inherently take longer to setup and describe these situations and settings, often causing them to lose there impact. While this is a great form of comedy, I don’t think it works well in books. Witty banter and slapstick comedy is usually better for writing, but what little there was here seemed pretty stale.
Also not really of fan of it being, yet another, Firefly copycat. Many have tried to replicate the successful motley crew formula, and Chilling Effect is the latest in a long line of letdowns.
This was most likely better than I interpreted it as, but I'm just burnt out on sci-fi comedies lately, and this one's brand of comedy just wasn't up to par.
