As soon as I came across this astounding book, online I knew without a doubt that I had to buy it. Let's just say that I'm so very glad that I did. Tiger's Curse is by far the most favorite book I've read in a long while. Just to give you an idea as to how much I loved the plot, characters, and Houck's writing style, as soon as I finished the final page I wanted to read the entire story again! It was just that darn good. Even now I want to open it up and read it again.

Tiger's Curse tells the story of a young girl named Kelsey who gets a job at the circus. After spending weeks taking care of Ren, the tiger, a man shows up to buy him. The circus, of course, sells Ren and Kelsey is given the opportunity of a lifetime. She will travel to India as a caretaker to the tiger. She soon realizes that Ren isn't just a plain old tiger; he may just be her dream come true.

Houck created a beautiful romantic journey with an adventure steeped in the flavors of India. There is much to fall in love with as the plot carries you throughout India; it's as if you are there in the flesh, immersed in the culture, temples, and the beauty of the land. Houck's descriptive writing style propels you through the story like water cascading over a waterfall. The characters are rich and colorful, adding an unbelievably vibrant quality, which made it easy to fall in love with each and every one of them. I will be waiting for the release of the second book in this series titled, Tiger's Quest. If you buy a book this month, it should be this one. You will not regret the purchase.
