Revenge Gifts

Revenge Gifts by Cindy Cruciger

Tara Cole's business is revenge and she's good at it. Never mind the karmic hits she's taking for sending out pillows stuffed with cat hair for the allergy prone and the devious chocolate a day gift for the chocoholic. Revenge-gifts.com is doing great but Tara pretty much thinks her life sucks. She's slacking off in the Keys when one of her gifts comes back to bite her on the butt in the form of a reversal of fortune curse. Well if your life sucks and you haven't got laid in ten years a reversal of fortune might not be a bad thing right?

This book is so funny that I finished it even though it absolutely insults aussies, hey aussie men can be rude and crude but no way are they worse then french blokes. Some of the gifts available on Revenge-Gifts.com make you chuckle long into the night and Tara's acceptance of all the weird stuff that seems to follow her around ie ghosts in her house, possessed dogs and rabid roosters are just proof of her somewhat demented mindset. This book is a good light hearted read and a fun way to take up a couple of hours on the bus.
