Tiger's Curse

If what I’ve heard is true, than this book started out as a self published novel; I thank you so much for doing that! Some authors would have let it sit, or fade into the background. But this thing was amazing—and I’m so happy you decided to put it into the world regardless.

What makes this story stand out is the mythology behind it. Many stories are based off of mythology, or at least influenced by it but this used Indian Mythology. It was so interesting looking at the stories and beliefs of another culture, and watching how it influenced the story.

The main character Kelsey Hayes is a very nice character. I loved watching her point of view and reactions to everything that was going on. She’s a very strong young woman and a very pleasant character.

The character Ren—the tiger to the Tiger’s Curse—is also very interesting to watch. I love watching how the curse affected him through his life, and how he views life because of it. It’s something different—in the best way possible.

I would highly recommend this book; it’s a very refreshing take on mythological based fiction, and isn’t something you see very often. To put it simply—it’s beautiful.

I really hope Kelsey ends up with Ren again because if she doesn't I'll just be to heart broken to continue with the series.

Have you ever looked at the caged animals at the circus and felt sorry for them?  I know I have! You wonder how they feel being locked up all the time. Well Kelsey is teenage girl who is filling in as a temp at her local circus and can't help but to feel sorry for the beautiful white tiger that is caged up.  She feels somehow connected to him and spends all her spare moments reading to him and talking to him while she is there! Then she wishes he could be free and suddenly her tiger is not just a tiger anymore but also a prince! Lucky girl! That's when the adventure begins!

 

I thought this story was very unique.  Sometimes a bit unbelievable but still very good!  I've never heard anything quite like it before! My favorite part of this story was Ren! Ren is gorgeous, of course, and he is sweet and charming and a prince! I am a sucker for prince charming, lame I know, but I am.  However, I was completely annoyed with Kelsey.  She was an annoying teenager! She drove me crazy, I felt she was too childish to be believable; I would have given this story 5 stars if Kelsey didn't drive me nuts! The problem is you can't have a totally unbelievable gorgeous prince and an annoying normal believable teenage girl; it just was slightly weird to me! 

 

There is lots of Indian history, myths and of course the tiger curse! I enjoyed all of that! The mystery was great and adventurous and the love story was pretty good.  The kissing scenes were amazing; I'd give it a PG-13 rating, overall pretty clean but just some hot kissing and no bad language! Enjoyable YA read!
