Book review: Tiger's Curse - Colleen Houck

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 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.

From the book. ^


My thoughts

(some major and minor spoils ahead)
 Tiger's Curse has everything I'm looking for in a book. Adventure in far off places, deep magic, a strong plot, well-constructed characters, and romance.
      Somehow, just like Kelsey, I can see more than a tiger. As I stare into those cobalt eyes, I can almost see a man under his black striped fur.


You should know

Language - None.
Violence - Use of several weapons, fighting, yelling, wounds/scars.
Romance - A couple of kisses, loving/liking.
Other - Shape-shifting (from tiger to man and vice-versa).


That sums it up for the book review of Tiger's Curse.

Hewow. Can you say that in your head? Hewow. Well, I thought it sounded funny. Am I weird to you yet? Yep, I am definitely weird. :p

I'm entering Samantha's photo challenge to take a photo of your hobby. Mine is reading so I took photos of books. What's your hobby?
           Here are some photos:
(I took many photos so I'll tell you which one is my entry)

Yes, this is the photo for Samantha's challenge. ^^^

Now here is a poem I wrote.

Books, books, books galore,

all I want is more, more, more!

There are stories on a page,

every chapter I have to gauge.

I've always got my face in a book,

sitting in my favorite nook.

There is always more to read,

every second I have to heed.

Okay, so I'm not very good at formatting poems, but rhyming comes naturally to me. I wrote that in one minute. But yes, I don't want to bore you so... moving along.

I had the privilege to use my older sister's Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSI camera. It's super fancy with too many buttons. Very confusing.


From your very confused and bewildered sister in Christ,

I wanted to get that morning sunshine for this picture, but it was all cloudy. Oh well. Could have been worse.
