Book Review : Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes

This book had been on my radar for a while now, and when I joined NetGalley, it was one of the first things I requested. I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would be approved, but I WAS! I consumed this story in a day and a half.

I read this book years ago when it first came out and honestly I only remember small bits of it and the fact that I enjoyed. So I was so happy that this was Pages and Proses Book of the month. Revisiting this story I can see why I was drawn it all those years ago.

I read this book with Molly’s book club. This book had been on my TBR for a while as I always heard great things about this story and the synopsis alone was something that caught my interest. So thank you Molly for making this the book of the month.

Synopsis :
Ever since her best friend, Anna, drowned, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town. A freak. A curse. A witch.
A girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears offshore and, though the girl denies it, Evie is convinced that her best friend actually survived. That her own magic wasn’t so powerless after all. And, as the two girls catch the eyes—and hearts—of two charming princes, Evie believes that she might finally have a chance at her own happily ever after.
But her new friend has secrets of her own. She can’t stay in Havnestad, or on two legs, unless Evie finds a way to help her. Now Evie will do anything to save her friend’s humanity, along with her prince’s heart—harnessing the power of her magic, her ocean, and her love until she discovers, too late, the truth of her bargain.
This was the first book for Lit Coven reads of 2019, also the first book I read for the year and I am a bit conflicted about how to rate it.

Synopsis :
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases — a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases — a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
It doesn’t help that Stella has Asperger’s and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice — with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can’t afford to turn down Stella’s offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan — from foreplay to more-than-missionary position…
Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but to crave all the other things he’s making her feel. Soon, their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic…
