I am not terribly fond of present tense in general, but I wouldn't rule something out just because it's present tense. I find it distracting because unless or until I get swept up in the story, I keep wondering just why the author chose it.
Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus starts in second person present tense. I don't know if it continues that way for the whole book because I couldn't make myself read more that the first two pages.
