365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #148: Goddess for Hire

Mythology, Humor and Romance. This is just the sort of story that I want to read. I love finding different takes on mythology, case in point, I've read nearly all of Rick Riordan's mythology based books because they've been fun to read. And that mainly for the interesting approach the author has taken with the mythology, plus the addition of a little bit of humor. 

Book: Goddess for Hire by Sonia Singh

Description:

A hip chick from Newport Beach, California, who's just turned thirty, discovered she's the incarnation of the Hindu goddess Kali, and happens to be unemployed and still living with her parents. Saving the world, though, may prove to be a curry-scented breeze compared to dealing with her extended Indian family. In their eyes she isn't just the black sheep -- she's low-grade mutton.

To make matters worse, despite frequent and therapeutic bouts of shopping and Starbucks, and the mentoring of a Taco Bell-loving, Coca Cola-guzzling swami, Maya has trouble just surviving, thanks to the attentions of a Kali-hating fanatic and a matchmaking aunt hell-bent on finding her a nice Indian boy. Maya has no interest in boys. She wants a man and she may have found one.

He's tall, dark, and gorgeous...and completely uninterested in her.

In the name of all that's holy and fashionable...what on Earth is a goddess to do?
