My Thoughts
Highly recommended! I
came across this book by chance on Amazon.com and I am extremely glad I did.
The first thing that intrigued me about this book was actually the cover which
is mesmerizing, but the true spellbinding thing about this book is the story itself.
Kelsey Hayes our heroine has been put off close relationships with people after
the death of her parents at an early age. Even her foster parents who she loves
don't really know her that well. Things change though after she meets the
tiger Dhiren during her summer job
at the circus. Eventually she finds herself in India battling mythical
creatures, uncovering ancient prophecies, and learning that the hardest thing
she might have to do is learn to once again open up her heart.
Kelsey was a
courageous and kindhearted woman that I could really relate to. She has gone
through many hardships since the death of her parents and because of this finds
it hard to be close to people. She really grows throughout this book and I
think that’s what I loved most about her. Getting to know her and seeing how
much she changes as a person was really enjoyable and I can’t wait to read the
rest of her journey.
Dhiren (Ren) is a
memorable character that really made the book for me. He is sweet and kind, but
he also has flaws and makes his own mistakes. Ren has to learn how to live in
this new time and adapt so that he can finally get rid of his curse as well as
prove to Kelsey that love is always worth the risk.
Colleen Houck has
managed to weave together the perfect blend of Indian culture, romance,
adventure, and Mythology in order to create Tiger's Curse, making it a
wonderful read for any romance/adventure fans.
