Tiger’s Curse by Colleen Houck is the first novel in
Colleen’s Tiger series. Colleen Houck has also written Reawakened, Tiger’s
Quest, Tiger’s Voyage, and Tiger’s Destiny. Most of Colleen’s books are based
on fantasy, romance, and adventure. Kelsey is an eighteen year old girl who
befriends a tiger and then goes on an adventure in India. This story is trying
to explain that friendship can overcome any possible roadblock.
Tiger’s curse is about an eighteen year old girl who meets a
beautiful white tiger and befriends it. An old man later buys the tiger and asks
Kelsey to accompany this tiger while heading back to India. She later
finds out what's really going on and stays in India for a little longer trying
to help the “tiger”. The main protagonist in this story is Kelsey. We read the
book in her perspective and can see what she feels in the book, other
protagonists could be the tiger, Mr. Khadam. The main antagonist in Tiger’s
Curse is the curse set onto the two Tiger’s, Kishin and Dhiren. “The fact is…
I'm in love with you, and I have been for some” (Houck 400). “Mr. Khadam
not knowing something? Was that even possible?”.
In my perspective this book is great. The book has a lot of
“twists”. The history Colleen implements into this book and combines it with
some action is really great. The romance is very intriguing, I can't wait to
read the next book and find out what happens between the protagonist. I think
this book would be a great choice for kids and adults alike. Especially for
people who like romantic, adventurous, and historical books like Hunger Games,
Twilight etc. I think this book would be a great read for everyone. I think
everyone should give this book a try even if it doesn't turn out to be perfect.
I have read a lot of the reviews on Amazon and it seems to me that if you're a
bookworm who enjoys reading a lot, then you shouldn't read this particular
book. Many have said that Kelsey has more of a 50 year old's mind then a 18
year old girls particular mind/ actions.
