About this ebook

Tara Sharp should be just another unemployable, twenty-something, ex-private schoolgirl ... but she has the gift—or curse as she sees it—of reading people's auras. The trouble is, auras sometimes tell you things about people they don't want you to know.

When a family friend recommends Mr Hara's Paralanguage School, Tara decides to give it a whirl - and graduates with flying colours. So when Mr Hara picks up passes on a job for a hot-shot lawyer she jumps at the chance despite some of his less-than-salubrious clients.

Tara should know better than to get involved when she learns the job involves mob boss Johnny Vogue. But she's broke and the magic words 'retainer' and 'bonus' have been mentioned. Soon Tara finds herself sucked into an underworld 'situation' that has her running for her life.

Sharp Shooter is a hilarious, action-packed novel and Tara Sharp is Triple F: Funny. Fast. Feisty.

Ratings and reviews

Tara is a novice aura reader. Not novice in seeing them, that started as a child, but has not been too accurate at reading them. So, she takes lessons on learning about her gift which leads to a new career for her proposed by her teacher. Enter the chrime lord of Perth, a dreamy ex-basketball player and let tge games begin. To say Tara learns her lesson is too tongue in cheek but she certainly learns lots of new things to do with her gift and meets some unusual people.

Tara Sharp is a quirky individual with a unique skill to read people's auras. This is not widely accepted as a marketable skill yet she finds ways to make money using it. The book is a fast read with light characters and lots of action.

Difficult to follow the Australian jargon at first for anyone not familiar with it. To be expected I guess. The relationships of the characters to each other becomes a bit confusing at times. A quick read and somewhat enjoyable.
