Tiger's Curse

I read this book first on my Kindle, loved it and had to get the second on right away! Soon, my teenage daughter had to read a book with foreign influence for her English class, but she was paired with 3 guys who didn???t want the sappy love stories; they wanted action. I recommended this book (it has both and would make everyone happy). To my surprise I ended up getting 5 copies of the book because the guys fell in love with the book and were excited to finish reading the book as fast as they could. Then they had to read the second book too???they fought over the Kindle version just to read it. This is a great book and I love all the attention to detail, makes you want to go and see all the places described.

I loved hearing about India, especially Indian mythology. The author does an excellent job of explaining different aspects of Indian culture, but without taking away from the main story. It just supplements Kelsey and Ren's adventure.

I love Kelsey because she wasn't the typical YA paranormal heroine who falls in love in an instant and then all of her actions are motivated by her need to be with the hero. Kelsey is realistic and struggles with real issues. She is someone likeable that the reader can empathize with.

I liked the way that the narrator wasn't just reading the book. She expressed emotions well. And each character had its own voice that was unique and really suited them.

This series is a little slow to start, but the 4 books are all so addictive I couldn't sleep. A little magic (which does not overwhelm book so don't let that scare you off), a little romance, a lot of adventure = one of my favorite series in years.

My 10 year old daughter and I loved sharing the unfolding of this mysterious and entertaining tale.

India Mythology Intrigue (since Tiger and Curse are already in the title :-))

The Little Princess for the Indian mythology! The Lightning Thief for the teen living mythology! The author says Twilight meets Indiana Jones--that is true also!

Too "rote" and slow. It sounds like a poetry reading not a teenager's life! I love the book! I like the narration! But Annika Boras is too slow in her narration! Kelsey has more energy in my head. Thank goodness you can change the speed without messing up the vocal tone! This book is perfect at 1.5 speed narration!

No, but that is a good thing! I wanted to puzzle out some of the issues and try to figure out what might happen next!

Great book for those with middle eastern heritage! The Indian mythology is wonderful!

I love this story and was completely drawn in by the atmosphere and geography, the beautiful writing, and the powerful love story developing between the characters. As any other fan of the story knows, it's not simple and it's not over yet (I haven't quite completed the next two installments) but still, I have been very drawn in by the love story of Ren and Kelsey, and I've become invested in things turning out happily for them..but it's not going to be easy along the way.
The writing is very good, the descriptions are original and the plot actually interesting, flowing from one event to another. Yes, there is some time spent by the main character describing some simple things, or "gushing" about how beautiful Ren is, (remember this is YA, after all!) but still Kelsey is a charming character who will win you over. Yes, there are moments when she is stubborn and annoying, but yet the writing is good and it seems that's how she is meant to be, and it's meant to carry the story along, because as fans know it's quite a saga and is not wrapped up in one book.
I found the narrator to be quite talented and spot-on for the story. She certainly drew you right into Kelsey's mind and did a nice job of voicing the other characters, including the romantic Ren. Overall, a great story!

Yes I would listen again to see if I missed anything the first time I listened.

What I like about listening to a story is the emotion that the reader puts into the story. Along with the emotion you get accents. Both Boras and Jahveri did a wonderful job and made me enjoy the story that much more.

Could you see yourself in love with a Tiger?

Someone suggested this book if you are a Twilight fan. I am but this book does not compare. It isn't just the difference in the story, the characters and the love story do not compare. If you are looking for Twilight you will be disappointed. However! This story is almost as good. It captured me because I love tigers, and could see how Kelsey being lonely would gravitate toward the animal. I loved the adventures they go on to see if they can break the curse. I dont like how Kelsey gets so wishy washy in the end about Ren though. All in all though it is a great story, that I would recommend and listen to again. I cant wait for my daughter to read it!

Such a great idea for a book! The adventure and mythology is wonderful and the author can write a fantastic romance/love scene. A female Indiana Jones meets hot Indian weretigers! I enjoyed the little bits of literature slipped into the plot. I plowed straight through the whole series.

Now for the bad: Poorly edited, overly drawn out plots, a strange mix of childish and adult language and themes, everybody is a Mary Sue.

Overall, you will roll your eyes - a lot. But you may be having too much fun to care.

Most certainly! The book is written so well that you visualize all that is going on, you are swept into the story and I easily found myself "feeling" the emotions of the adventure.

no

The book has most certainly made me laugh, cry, and build with anticipation that could drive one crazy!

Tiger's Curse is a masterpiece. It's full of action, history,poetry,romance,magic, this story has everything you could ever want. This audio is full of wonderful Indian culture that helps you to understand the story's setting. Its shocking,heartrending,soul tearing, a guaranteed page turner with a huge twist and leaves you breathless at the end. Tiger's Curse is absolutely magical. Its about a 300 hundred year old curse about a white tiger named Ren. There's mystical worlds and each place nothing is what it seems.Kelsey takes risk after risk to piece together a way to break the curse.Tiger's Curse leaves you begging for more. Also the narrator Annika Boras is fabulous. She is by far the best narrator I've ever listened to before. She's is gifted and extremely talented. This is a must listen to. I can promise you will enjoy this audio and the other two books after this one. I can promise you wont be disappointed.
