Donna Augustine

After dying in a train wreck, Camilla is reanimated as the personification of Karma. She has one month to find who caused the wreck that killed her in order to be reborn into a new human being. Otherwise, she's stuck as Karma for 1000 years. Fortunately- maybe- she has help from Fate, Lady Luck, Jinxes, and the Cat Lady.

➽ Why this book should have been Bloody Shrimping Awesome (BSA™):

The idea behind it is somewhat scrumptious: imagine slightly dying only to be offered a job as Karma herself/itself/whatever. And working with lovely people such as Lady Luck, Murphy of the Infamous Law, Danny the Tooth Fairy who likes to play golf with Death the Office Counsellor (he got his degree online, just so you know), Kitty the Cat Lady (no comment), Bert the Leprachaun (monitors clovers and stuff) and Fate the resident douchebag. Because Karma might be a bitch but Fate is most definitely an ass. YUM.



Yep, that's right, this is so glorious even Jean-Claude the Almighty got all groovy and stuff when he first started reading the book. After which things got pretty ugly pretty fast. But that's a story for another time. When not so many innocent ears/eyes/whatever are not listening/reading/whatever. 

➽ Why this book was NOT BSA™:

This book is disgustingly light. This book is revoltingly decaf. This book smells nauseatingly like teen spirit some Abominable Paranormal Chick Lit Type Thingie (APCLTT™). Lots of useless romantic crap and no little story. Which is quite obscene, if you ask me. 



See? Even Rose agrees with me on that one. And, frankly, who wouldn't? (view spoiler)[
  no, I am not asking you, People of the Despicable Book Taste (PotDBT™)
 (hide spoiler)] I mean, this story does feature insta-crush/attraction/whatever. Between two boring, one-dimensional leads who quite appropriately don't like each other one bit. And are drawn to each other against their better judgement. And spend all their bloody shrimping time bickering about inconsequential stuff (view spoiler)[
  seems like Donna Augustine failed Ilona Andrews' Awesome Banter 101 class. Life sucks
 (hide spoiler)]. How beautifully refreshing. How delightfully creative. How delectably original. How wonderfully enjoyable. I loved every minute of it, obviously (view spoiler)[

Oh, and by the way, our resident special snowflake Karma is 29 but acts like a whiny, fickle, immature teenager. Attagirl. Definitely the kind of chick I want to chop into tiny little pieces snatch away and lock up in my harem before anyone else realizes how yummy-delicious she is and decides to claim her. Forethought is me and stuff. Ha.
