Synopsis
Karma, it’s what they call me and the very essence of who I am. When I died young, I was recruited by the agency that keeps the Universe running smoothly. As someone with a human past, most of my coworkers consider me inferior.
But not everyone. Something evil has been stalking me for centuries. It’s been biding its time, waiting for the moment when it will strike and it needs me to to do it.
Its methods of recruitment are tearing apart every aspect of my life. I’m slowly losing myself, both mentally and physically. I don’t know who I can count on but I'm finding out how much I'm willing to sacrifice to save the ones I care about.

Synopsis
It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Karma book 1 in this series (if you read my first review you would have picked it up) So naturally I just couldn't wait to get into Jinxed see what happens. And boy was I in for a treat.
So let me first start of with saying I did my happy dance when we met "the Big guy". Serious who doesn't want to meet Santa. I will be first in line. Mother nature off course set loose a hurricane and wants to wipe out one whole continent. Death wears more colour than Fate. The Jinxes is even more devious than ever. Kitty we learn has wisdom and Lady Luck is not good at keeping secrets. Murphy we see a softer side, Crow well just have to many crows.
Then oh yeah..... Cupid is up to his tricks and poor Karma and Fate is in for a ride. Since the rest of the office is staying clear of him.
"I'd wanted to meet Santa but not anymore. What if he knew I was on the naughty list"
This time around we meet the bad guys, the ones that is also in the universe Envy and Wrath. And they play a very cruel trick on Karma to get her.
"I met Hitler"
"you tape me to that chair this instant1 I tried to rip the roll of tape from his hand but he wouldn't' let go"
Now this is one thing I can agree on with Karma, Fate sure as hell is touching her a lot for someone who isn't interested. Those two are each others Ying & Yang, Salt & Pepper, Fork & Knife. They are just made for each other. I just wish they would realise it. Everyone can see it even ME.
"to sum it up, fate was like the universe's experiment in extra credit. if the rest of us were a scoop of vanilla ice cream, he was a sundae with extra fudge and a cherry."
Going into Jinxed I had a few questions but leaving Jinxed I had even more. Will be a book three in this series?
Is Karma going to become part of the FOUR?
Were Karma and Fate lovers in one of her previous lives, why didn't they end up together that time, is that the reason why Fate doesn't want to get close to Karma?
"why did I feel like I remembered this? it was right there, a memory just out of reach. You've said that before. When?"
Just so many question that NEED to be answered.
This book and series has made me look at the "universe" in a whole different way. And when something goes wrong I would say out loud Murphy stop it, or real funny Jinxes. Luckily my husband understand me.
Jinxed is a great book to an even greater series.
I give Jinxed 5 Stars.
