Review
Kelsey has just started a temporary job working for a circus
in town for the next couple of weeks. It’s small not to extravagant but it does
have a beautiful white tiger who’s captured Kelsey’s interest. The more time
she finds herself spending with the tiger the more attached to him she becomes.
When the tiger she nicknamed Ren is sold she’s given the chance to escort him
to a game preserve where he will be able to live out his life. How can she pass
up an all-expense paid trip to India with Ren the tiger she’s grown attached
but a quick easy trip is far from what she gets.
After arriving in India the truck that is set to drive them
leaves her and Ren stranded on the side of the road and she’s forced to chance
him through the jungle for fear of losing him. It’s while in the jungle that
Kelsey learns the truth that Ren is actually the prince from the story that she
was told. Suddenly the tiger she thought was just a tiger is a handsome prince
who needs her to free himself as well as his brother from the curse. As Kelsey
agrees to help Ren they embark on a whirl wind adventure across India in
attempt to break the curse.
I like Kelsey she’s this quiet artistic creative girl who’s
come out of her shell after meeting Ren it’s change her in a good way. I like
that her first thought when Ren asked to kiss her all formal was that he’s her
friend not in a romantic way but after was clearly seeing Ren as more than a
tiger. Even though most of the time Ren is a tiger it’s the few minutes each
day he gets to transform that the chemistry between the two heats up.
I’ve had Tiger’s Curse on my kindle longer than I care to
admit but decided it was perfect for my reading challenge for the week. Tiger’s
Curse is a fast paced adventure that takes place in India with a 18 year old
girl and a tiger who happens to be a cursed prince. I really enjoyed the book I
was captivated by the end of the first few pages by Kelsey and was dying to
know more about her tiger Ren. I felt that author did a great job creating a unique
story that captures the heart as well as the imagination. This is my first book
about India and I enjoyed every moment of Kelsey and Ren’s adventure like the
sea monkeys who you bow to. I really was able to connect with Kelsey she’s on
this magical quest in India a country I admit to not know a lot about but found
fascinating. This is my first book by the author but I know it won’t be my last
I’m already looking forward to finishing the series. I have to know how it’s
going to play out.
This has been on my TBR FOREVER! Glad you enjoyed it! I'm going to have to get this one read soon!
