Tiger Curse Book 1 in the Tiger Curse Series Colleen Houck Books

Disappointment.

I bought these books (because I own, yes! the 3 of them and I preordered the 4th one).

THE BOOK: since I own two Kindles (the keyboard and the Fire), I was puzzled about this book not been able to be purchased through this service, so I ordered the hardcover versions. The books are magnificently binded, pretty sturdy, and with a nice quality of paper. I love that and not completely regret the fact of not being able to carry the books in my devices.

THE STORY LINE: it began with a bright premise. An orphan-sweet-good mannered-go with the flow teenage girl. An Indian Prince trapped by a curse in the form of a majestic white tiger. An opportunity. A travel. A wonderful world of adventures.
At what it would be the 65% of the book, Kelsey, the main female character, transforms herself into an ocean of confusion and turmoil. From being in a very congruent situation, suddenly everything is stained with her inner monologue, her inner indecision, and the way she auto justified herself for casting away the man who loves her.

Maybe I am asking a lot, in the end, she is just a teenager who doesn't know her own feelings.

THE WRITING: I am puzzled by Mrs. Houck and her convoluted way of writing. I don't know if she had an editor, but someone has had to tell her about this. One can read her books, and live everything she writes, but that doesn't mean that her way of writing is enjoyable or sometimes even clear.

THE SAGA: I feel highly betrayed because all this senseless drama is only the excuse for the publication of the second, third and fourth books. She totally distorted the main female character in order to prolong the story.

THE ADVENTURES: It is not J.R.R. Tolkien. It is not Jules Verne. It is not J.K. Rowling. It is not even Charlaine Harris or Stephenie Meyer, but the adventures are highly enjoyable.

THE SETTING: a wonderful Indian setting, full of jungle, heat, gods and goddesses, and magic places. I loved that part.

I am stuck in the second or third chapter of the second book, unable to swallow this teenager full of mixed feelings who, at that point in the story, doesn't know what she wants. And it is not only that, is the pushing-pulling the rope in almost every single page, what is annoying. Somewhere in time, I will finish this saga, because I love to read and I want to know how everything ends but, for now, I won't continue torturing myself reading these books.

Tiger Curse Book 1 in the Tiger Curse Series Colleen Houck Books Reviews

TIGER'S CURSE is an epic fantasy adventure that will take you on a magical ride to India!

The beginning was pretty slow going, but once it picks up, the action just flies off the pages. Kelsey, our main character, is a pretty likeable character, but has some major flaws, which I will point out in the next paragraph. Ren is such an awesome character; he's nice to everyone around him, is a tiger (hello?! Totally awesome!), and is just an interesting and well-developed character.

What annoyed me so much from Kelsey was the nickname that she likes to be called Kells. It's okay if it comes up here and there, but usually, everybody calls her Kells. Sorry, but it got on my nerves.

My favorite part about TIGER'S CURSE was just the adventure that this book takes you on! We get to travel to India and some more places (can't say or it would be a spoiler!), and the author did a great job of capturing that feeling of being in India. I definitely felt like I was traveling in the jungle with Ren and Kelsey!

The writing style is another great part of this book; every chapter felt like the adventure was taken to another level, which I loved. And when a character named Kishan entered, I knew that even more adventures would happen later in this series! I definitely enjoyed how much Colleen Houck put into this book to make sure that the reader felt like they was along for this epic ride!

And the final 150 pages were totally fantastic! So much action occurred within those pages, and I don't think I ever set the book down when I came to the ending! And gosh, Houck made her characters shine and develop in ways I couldn't imagine within only the first book. Greatness!

Overall, TIGER'S CURSE was such a fun ride. I loved the India journey and all the events that happened in this book. If the main character didn't have an annoying nickname, this would have definitely been a 5-star book! Highly recommend this series!
