Its fast pace, interesting characters and intelligent storytelling kept me intrigued and turning the pages chapter after chapter. The concept of our society and the world as a whole "dying" of thirst is frightening, but believable. Climate change, global warming, call it what you will, but it has impacted our planet. I liked the way the author interplayed Mother Nature and religion, greed and the human spirit to tell the story. It reminded me a bit of The Poisonwood Bible. I highly recommend this novel.

Thought-provoking and fast-paced read By Nick Wilford I was hooked by JK Ullrich's "cli-fi" novel, which takes an all too plausible premise and carves out a gripping story. It's a simple but terrifying concept - water is something we all need (and take for granted), but it is a finite resource. What happens when it starts running out? Actually, we don't all take it for granted as a large proportion of the world don't have access to fresh water, and in Blue Karma this has extended to North America.What I loved about this book is that while it had a lot of things to think about, it doesn't take a heavy-handed or preachy tone. It's a story, first and foremost, not a treatise. Ullrich gave us a great cast of characters to root for and, in other cases, despise. Logan, in particular, got much more likeable as the book went on - from at first appearing to be nothing more than an irresponsible kid, he grows into someone who is willing to put his life on the line for those he cares about. Paul's trajectory was, in a way, parallel to his, although he starts from an opposite position - the pampered, privileged heir to the most powerful water company in the world, he comes to see what life is like for those who have nothing. Amaya was likeable - a tough and quick-witted girl who is terrified of letting her guard down, but the greatest growth belonged to Sayuri. With a heartbreaking backstory, she seems at times in danger of being completely overwhelmed by events, but comes out the other end.There were many fascinating ideas in this book, and the role that religion played was particularly intriguing, with idealistic dreamers being pitted against cynical company tycoons. I hope there will be a sequel, but if not, I look forward to other books from Ullrich.

Water is crucial for survival and its absence can contribute to feelings of anger, greed and depression. But what about extreme amounts of water? As many of us know, too much water can be destructive and deadly to just about everything on Earth.Amaya is a typhoon survivor. As I read her story, I couldn't help but admire her. During the storm she loses everything - her home, and most of her family. Amaya, just a teen herself, takes her younger sister and flees. Survival isn't easy. There are hundreds of homeless people, all struggling to survive. Because of the severe shortage of fresh water, Amaya does everything possible to survive even if it involves ice poaching. I admired her determination and incredible will to survive under these extraordinary conditions.The water shortage brings about ice poachers. Breaking icebergs and melting them to produce fresh water becomes a way to survive for many, but it also becomes a big business. Nilak, a large company with a contract to harvest ice, produces fresh water from the bergs and sells it to those who can afford to pay. Therefore, the poachers are a nuisance to Nilak.Amaya meets Logan. Logan is a military deserter whose job is to guard the arctic from poachers. Logan and Amaya are caught up in one scandal after another to protect Logan's hometown with hopes of building a new life there.This is a fast-paced, action-packed story. Amaya and Logan take readers on a spiraling journey of intense emotions. I was able to feel the compassion they have for one another while struggling to survive. I could also feel their frustration and hate for the bullies who set road blocks for them along the way. Blue Karma is a story of love, deceit, and manipulation. Will Karma win in the end? I recommend reading this book to find out.Review by Monica McDaniel for eBook Review GaleBook Review Gal received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
