The Revenge Paradox by Regina Buttner


 Revenge has a way of backfiring sometimes.

College dropout-turned-Amazon reseller Rudy Hodgens vows revenge when his parents evict him for refusing to get a real job and generally being a slacker. If it weren't for his friend Fudgie offering him a place to crash, he'd be on the street. Good thing he stole his stepfather's gun before he moved out.

Rudy thinks he's onto a promising new business venture when he sells the gun to a shady acquaintance who's eager for as much illicit merchandise as Rudy can supply. Plus there's Laci, the alluring pink-haired girl he recently met at the bus stop. They begin dating, and Laci persuades Rudy to return to school. All of a sudden, life's looking up.

But the stolen gun triggers a chain of events that threaten to derail Rudy's newfound happiness, and his desire for vengeance takes a violent turn. Only Laci can save him from his worst impulses, but there's a catch-Laci's secretly out for revenge too, and Rudy's standing in her way.

Regina was raised in Syracuse, New York, where her new suspense novel THE REVENGE PARADOX is set. She spent many happy years exploring the back roads of the Adirondack mountain region, which inspired her small-town revenge thriller, DOWN A BAD ROAD. She recently traded the snowy northern winters for the tropical breezes of the Sunshine State. Her favorite pastimes are kayaking among the mangroves, strolling the sandy beaches, and teaching tricks to her crafty little corgi, Pekoe.

My thoughts...
Look at this cover so intriguing.  But the story fell short for me it was very predictable, and I like my thrillers to keep me on the edge, it's fun to keep guessing.
Maybe her next book will be the one for me.
