Review

Aaryn, the son of Cupid, is trying to shoot both Karma and Danny (high school teens) with his arrows so that they will fall in love. Sadly, his second arrow is faulty and only Karma falls in love. Aaryn and his mentor hide their mistake and Aaryn becomes a full Cupid. However, the truth is revealed about a year later and Aaryn must become human and intervene in the mess that was realized because of his mistake in order to win back his cupid creds. Karma now has Danny's baby girl and is still madly in love with Danny, who could not care less. He only wants to get out of paying child support. He has cheated on Karma and is not at all involved with little Nell. So, this whole concept seems like it might make an interesting story, but this just does not seem to hold together. The issue of teenage pregnancy is handled a bit too lightly. I did enjoy the twist of an ending, but otherwise it i snot a book I would recommend.

Overall Book Score: fair
