Llana is looking for a way to make a little extra summer cash but just can't seem to get hired. When she applies for a job as a temp at Divine Relief she is immediately hired and sent to work. What Llana didn't expect is that she will be working for the infamous fates right out of Greek mythology. Llana gets into several messes, overcomes many problems, and even manages finds love along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it super interesting. At the end I was dying to temp for a Greek god or goddess myself. This book is very easy to read and understand and is also fun for any gender. Her last hope for a summer job is a temping agency, unbeknownst to her, that fills in for the gods. Her first assignment is working for the Fates, while her sister plans her wedding. Five stars for the use of the word biscotto. no reviews | add a review

I enjoyed this book a great deal. It was funny, dripping with sarcasm - always a winner with me -, and very creative in general. It was a great mix of adventure, love, and of course - the old battle between good and evil. Throw in a few Deities with frayed nerves and short fuses, along with a temp-gone-wild and you can just imagine the chaos that follows.
It was a quick, easy read and though I enjoyed it a great deal I couldn't help but feel like it got a little rushed towards the end. I think also that because I previously read Gods Behaving Badly - written by Marie Phillips and also based on Greek Deities in the modern world - and loved it, this book was always going to come off second best for me. That said, I think Temping Fate is the better choice for younger teens. I will definitely be exploring other works by Esther Friesner in the future. (
