I started reading this today and it is great so far. The author has a warped edgy sense of humor that I'm finding quite funny. The heroine Tara tells the story in the first person. She has a dreamy life living in a lovely little bungalo on the Florida Keys (rent free in exchange for a bartending gig) and sells "revenge gifts" on the internet. Sounds like heaven to me. She's sarcastic, despises kids and doesn't let any guy get too close.
Book Info:
TARA COLE SPECIALIZES IN REVENGE
In fact, she's an expert. Lace pillows filled with cat hair-for your least-favorite, most allergic relative; boxer shorts that set off metal detectors-for your cheating spouse; and her best seller at RevengeGifts.com: chocolates for your worst enemy, so you can watch gleefully as she packs on the pounds.
Tara's best friend warns her that all this revenge is damaging her karma, but Tara doesn't care about her next life-she wants to enjoy this one. Besides, her kitchen is full of cranky ghosts. Tara figures she'll be the same one day, when she leaves the mortal plane.
That might happen sooner than she thought, because someone has put a curse on her. A black cat, a black dog, even a black goat, appear, each followed by bizarre, almost-disastrous events. And it all started around the time Howard showed up. Howard says he wants to go into business with Tara, but it seems like he wants to go to bed with her. Unless he's the one who cursed her . . . .
Is this karma coming full circle-or destiny knocking on Tara's door?

Later:
Soon though things begin unraveling for Tara, our heroine, as karma comes back to bite her in the behind. This is a cute little episodic read with a lot of characters (sometimes too many for my liking) and there is a lot going on what with the ghosts, the love interest, and the voodoo dealings. Tara and her love interest don't seem to do any sort of growing if you're looking for that sort of thing but it's mindless fun nonetheless. It all ends rather abruptly so I'm figuring a sequel is on the horizon.
