Passion. Fate. Loyalty.
Would you risk it all to change your destiny?
The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she'd be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world.
But that's exactly what happened.
Face-to-face with dark forces, spellbinding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is what it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever.
Tiger's Curse is the exciting first volume in an epic fantasy-romance that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.
My Review:
Hooray for another paranormal romance that doesn’t deal with vampires or werewolves. Cat lovers will be drawn to the cover that depicts Ren, a gorgeous white tiger with cobalt blue eyes.
The most alluring part of the novel is India. There simply wasn’t enough explanation of it. Careful details of the scenery and people allowed the reader to understand its culture. Mythological stories were also woven into the story (sometimes forcefully) to bring the story of the curse together. Reading the folklore was by far the best part of this novel.
The characters are well thought out. At first they seem stereotypical: Kelsey is a naive young girl who is not quite sure what to do after high school while Ren is prince charming. Fortunately, they develop into something more as new characters are introduced and more back story is revealed.
Although there are flaws with the writing, and the heroine is extremely naive at times, these weaknesses can be overlooked because of the engaging storyline. The last third of the book flies by when the Indiana-Jones-esque narrative kicks in. The two protagonists are literally running through an ancient temple filled with booby traps to retrieve a relic while being chased by mythological creatures.
There isn’t a cliffhanger at the end, but there are some questions that definitely need to be answered by Houck. Those interested can read Tiger’s Quest (book 2 of a 5 book series) which is out now! It’s also in production by Ineffable Pictures.
The Bottom Line:
Cat lovers who’re into paranormal romance will be intrigued by this action packed love story. This book is also for those interested in Indian mythology. 3/5
