Continuing the idea that Greek Gods and even Angels walk amongst us like a kind of cosmic police force, Fated take the concept and runs with it. Fate, Destiny, Chance, Karma, Truth, Justice etc all immortals walking around in man and woman suits all working for the man upstairs, who prefers to go by ‘Jerry’
Fate who goes by the unlikely name of ‘Fabio’ isn’t allowed to interfere in the lives of his humans, isn’t allowed to push them onto Destiny’s path (she won’t thank him for increasing her workload) and he sure as hell can’t fall in love in with a human. Fabio thinks the boss won’t notice as he’s buried in paper work and getting ready for his next ‘act of Jerry’ but Jerry is omniscient after all.
I’ve been laughing out loud at some of the characterizations in Fated, Destiny’s a slut, Truth has magpie tendencies, Sloth’s a narcoleptic, Karma likes to get drunk in restaurants, speak of the Devil has a whole new meaning and Death has changed his name to – get this – Dennis. Fated is an indie band kind of a book, a word of mouth recommendation.
