About this eBook

From the acclaimed author of Breathers--an irreverent novel about fate, destiny, and the karmic consequences of getting involved with humans.

Over the past few thousand years, Fabio has come to hate his job. As Fate, he's in charge of assigning the fortunes and misfortunes that befall most of the human race-the 83% who keep screwing things up.

Frustrated with his endless parade of drug addicts and career politicians, Fate has to watch Destiny guide her people to Nobel Peace Prizes and Super Bowl MVPs. To make matters worse, he has a five- hundred-year-old feud with Death, and his best friends are Sloth and Gluttony. And worst of all? He's fallen in love with a human.

Getting involved with a human breaks Rule #1, and about ten others, setting off some cosmic-sized repercussions that could strip him of his immortality-or lead to a fate worse than death.

Ratings and reviews

Good book. It made me chuckle often while also making me think. Sometimes,however, there seemed to be too much happening. Maybe that was intentional considering the characters

First off. I'm not a big reader. Never have been. But after just the first few pages... I couldn't put the book down &,when I finished...didn't want it to. This book has honestly opened me up to reading and wanting more!!!

It was fantastic, I loved it!
