Divine Misfortune

by: A. Lee Martinez (author)

Teri and Phil had never needed their own personal god. But when Phil is passed up for a promotion - again - it's time to take matters into their own hands. And look online.Choosing a god isn't as simple as you would think. There are too many choices; and they often have very hefty prices for their eternal devotion: blood, money, sacrifices, and vows of chastity. But then they find Luka, raccoon god of prosperity. All he wants is a small cut of their good fortune.Oh - and to crash on their couch for a few days.DIVINE MISFORTUNE is a story of gods and mortals - in worship, in love, and at parties.
