Utterly fabulous Maya Mehra discovers she's a reincarnation of Hindu goddess Kali, fights crime, spars with a supposedly charming romantic foil, and endures quickly resolved crises. ( ) Seems like lots of people have good things to say about this book. Me too. I adore the voice, it's very fun and irreverent. The premise is wacky and thoroughly enjoyable (hey, who wouldn't want to be a goddess of destruction??), and she paints a glorious, rich picture without overplaying the ethnic card. I felt the book slacked off a bit in the final third, and I couldn't quite get into the hero and what made him a great love interest, but overall, an excellent rad. I'll definitely be checking for her next one, too! Loved this book especially the funny irreverant tone of this novel. Maya discovers she is the incanation of the Hindu Goddess Kali. So the formally funloving, not-so-devout Hindu is forced into a new appreciation for her heritage and purpose. This was my first East Indian/American novel and I loved the humour.

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 livingwith her parents. Saving the world, though,may prove to be a curry-scented breezecompared to dealing with her extendedIndian family. In their eyes she isn't just theblack sheep -- she's low-grade mutton. To make matters worse, despite frequent andtherapeutic bouts of shopping and Starbucks,and the mentoring of a Taco Bell-loving,Coca Cola-guzzling swami, Maya hastrouble just surviving, thanks to the attentionsof a Kali-hating fanatic and a matchmaking aunthell-bent on finding her a nice Indian boy. Maya hasno 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? No library descriptions found. |
