Kismet by Luke Tredget Pdf

Black Mirror meets Bridget Jones in this whip-smart debut set in a world where the ultimate matchmaking app has redefined romance. Twenty-nine-year-old Anna is smart, vivacious, and in the midst of a complete existential meltdown. Sure, from the outside everything in her life seems to be going just fine: She has a decent job, a devoted BFF, and a lovely boyfriend named Pete with whom she is exactly 70% compatible, according to Kismet, the matchmaking app that everyone in Anna's world uses to find love. Still...isn't there supposed to be more to life than this? Should she settle for a secure and predictable existence with Pete, or risk everything for a life of passion and adventure? With true adulthood (the dreaded thirty) just weeks away, Anna secretly re-joins Kismet, and soon encounters Geoff, a dashing, forty-something journalist with whom she has a shockingly high compatibility score of 81. How can she not at least see where this goes...? A funny and propulsive love story for our over-networked age, KISMET challenges us to take stock of how technology shapes our desires and what it means to "settle."

Chasing Kismet by Amrita Lit Pdf

Life as a young, modern Indo-Canadian woman is not as simple as it may seem. Tara Sidhu knows this firsthand. She's doing her best to accept that women of her culture are treated differently than men, but her mother's cold demeanor and her father's alcoholism leave her feeling truly alone. Although trying her best to run toward a different future-one far removed from the societal expectations of her community-Tara finds her past relentlessly catching up with her. Sent to India to put a loved one to rest, Tara ends up ensnared in an arranged marriage. The darkly complex web of her family history entangles her, and Tara must tap her inner strength to combat the emotional horrors inflicted upon her. Chasing Kismet tackles deeply convoluted human issues that will particularly resonate with Indian and South Asian readers. From the intricacies of family and community dynamics to the lack of mental health support, Tara's experience is one that will feel intimately familiar to many. Written with dazzling emotional depth and profound cultural insights, Chasing Kismet will remind you that family roots have a way of following us-no matter how hard we pursue a new destiny.

Kismet by Jakob Arjouni Pdf

It all began with a favour. Kayankaya and Slibulsky had wanted to help out Romario, the owner of a small Brazilian restaurant, when he is threatened by extortionists. Then suddenly there were two bodies on the floor of Romario's restaurant, their faces caked in white powder. Kayankaya is troubled by these deaths and decides to find out who the men are, until he himself is pursued by a mafia organisation about whom nothing appears to be known. Gradually it becomes clear to Kayankaya that he is facing the most brutal and dangerous group of gangsters to have run Frankfurt's station quarter. And then a new assignment comes in: he is to find a woman he has seen in a video film, and who he is convinced was looking at him from the screen. Kismet is a brilliant novel about organised crime, the fallout from the Balkan wars, and the madness of nationalism from one of Europe's finest crime writers.

Kismet 3 by Raynesha Pittman Pdf

In the third installment of the Kismet series about obsessive love gone very wrong, Savannah and Dre’s relationship turns a corner when secrets are exposed... Savannah was everything Dre wanted in a woman: beautiful, educated, independent, and classy. On top of that, she was the best lover Dre had ever had. It had to be kismet that brought these two together, because karma would have never allowed it. Savannah had made too many negative deposits into karma’s bank without any withdrawals to end up with a good man like Dre. Perhaps, karma and kismet were in cahoots. There was a lot about Savannah that Dre didn’t know initially, like her non-nurturing, revenge-seeking, conniving, and unfaithful ways. Nor did Dre know that he had fallen in love with karma’s new prey on the eve of her receiving a taste of everything she had dished out. However, there was also a lot about Dre that Savannah didn’t know, nor did she take the time to find out. Two facets, in particular, were his low tolerance for infidelity and zero tolerance for lies! After pushing Dre over the edge multiple times with both, what will she do when he volunteers to jump off?

Kismet 2 by Raynesha Pittman Pdf

The saying goes: "A hard head makes for a soft ass." If that’s true, then Savannah James must be walking around with a pillow attached to her after playing games with Karma, seeking revenge and being punished for it by facing death twice. It seems the thrill of playing with fate still remains. The lessons she should have learned from past mistakes mean nothing when her absent mother walks back into her life after 30 years, ready to rekindle a relationship that never existed. How long can Savannah expect to go on without fate coming back to haunt her? Will she ever realize that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree? The game she thinks she’s uniquely playing with life has an author of the same bloodline. Kismet 2: Some Things You Will Never Understand picks up where the emotional rollercoaster ride of Kismet left off, except with more conflict and drama. Readers will feel an adrenaline rush from the erotic loops and free-falling drops of a bumpy romance like no other. Buckle up and hold on tight for this literary ride. Is it Karma or Kismet? You be the judge.
