The Tiger's Curse

The book I read was the Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck. The book would fall into the young adult fantasy genre. I choose this book because my mom had read it and really liked it. She thought I would like it, because it has romance throughout the book between the two main characters Ren and Kelsey.

In the book, Kelsey Hayes wanted to help Ren break the tiger's curse. To do so she had to travel to India, where she only knew one person and didn't speak the language. Once she learned what the curse was she didn't understand why Ren was so sure she could help him break the curse.  She felt she was a nobody from Oregon and was insecure about herself and her strengths. Taking it one step at a time, Ren helped her realize she was stronger than she thought she was. Eventually, after working together and believing in each other they broke part of the curse.

Two things I liked about the book were the romance and Kelsey's character. She is very down to earth and has a good sense of sarcasm. There was only one thing I didn't really like, which was when Ren would say things to Kelsey in Hindi and not always tell you what it meant. This book is appropriate for young adults and adults. I think it is for this age group, because of the romance and the kissing in the book. Yes, I would recommend it to a friend who likes romance and adventure.
