Divine Misfortune by A. Lee Martinez, 321 pages
Teri and Phil never felt the need to have their own personal god, but when Phil is
passed up for a promotion it's time they decide to take their
own hands. Choosing a god isn't isn't simple though, there are too many choices and the benefits they provide often come at hefty
prices such as blood sacrifices, vows of chastity, or possibly just cutting of a hand to prove your worthiness at being considered of notice. Then they find Luka, a raccoon headed god of prosperity who only asks for a small cut of their good fortune, and to crash on their
couch for a few days.
As usual Martinez writes a great story filled with humor, all the while keeping the reader entertained with sudden twists. I think Martinez's books are a great read for people who like Douglas Adams or Christopher Moore.
