Tiger's Curse by Colleen HouckMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Although the writing was weak, this book had an interesting story. 18-year-old Kelsey takes a temporary summer job at a circus. Her job is to help feed the white tiger. In caring for the tiger, she finds herself strangely attracted, and spends a lot of time next to his cage, writing and drawing in her journal. The tiger is soon sold to a businessman from India, and Kelsy finds herself accompanying the tiger back to India in another temporary employment opportunity. Once in India, Kelsy learns that the tiger is really a 300-year-old prince, who has been cursed. The tiger is able to turn into a man for 24 minutes every 24 hours. Kelsy is even more attracted to the man she calls Ren, (the tiger's name is Dhiren). Ren is able to convince Kelsey that only Kelsey can help him undo the curse. So, off they go into the jungle to solve the mystery of the curse. Naturally, there is attraction between the two, which adds to the story. Middle school girls and some boys really love this book. I read it at their recommendation, and I think I could safely recommend it to lovers of Twilight who are looking for something new.
