Eva Innocente is minding her own business, carting goods across the galaxy when she learns that her sister has been kidnapped by The Fridge, a criminal syndicate that's known for cryogenically freezing its victims until their loved ones pay off exorbitant ransoms. And that's just what has happened to Eva's sister, forcing Eva to take on increasingly dangerous missions to pay the ransom. Oh, and in the meantime, she has to figure out how to deal with the massive bounty placed on her by a rich guy who just couldn't take no for an answer when he hit on her.
This book won't win any awards, but it's a fun galaxy-trotting caper with a vibrant cast of alien beings (including the clawed quennians, who emit smells that correspond with their emotions), a great Latina protagonist, and some psychic cats (who I'm pretty sure are just regular cats that they think are psychic). I enjoyed it immensely, and recommend it for fans of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe.
