But when Phil is passed up for a promotion—again—it's time to take matters into their own hands. And look online. </p><p>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 found Luka, raccoon god of prosperity. All he wants is a small cut of their good fortune. </p><p>Oh—and can he crash on their couch for a few days?</p><p>Throw in a heartbroken love goddess and an ancient deity bent on revenge and not even the gods can save Teri and Phil.</p><p>“Martinez excels at off-the-wall storytelling.” —<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p>
