Publisher's summary

Back in Oregon, Kelsey tries to pick up the pieces of her life and push aside her feelings for Ren. But danger lurks around the corner, forcing her to return to India where she embarks on a second quest - this time with Ren's dark, bad-boy brother Kishan, who has also fallen prey to the Tiger's Curse. Fraught with danger, spellbinding dreams, and choices of the heart, Tiger's Quest brings the trio one step closer to breaking the spell that binds them.

Critic reviews

"Forget vampires and werewolves, tigers are the new hottest thing. The second book in Houck's Tiger's Curse series features a love triangle, passion and nonstop action. It's a guaranteed page-turner with a huge twist at the end that will leave you breathless." ( RT Book Reviews)

Slower than the first book but excellent narration

This is the 2nd book in the Tiger’s Curse series. This is expected to be a five book series but a release date for the 5th book, The Tiger’s Dream, has yet to be announced. I didn’t enjoy this book quite as much as the The Tiger’s Curse. It starts out a lot slower and just wasn’t as exciting.

I listened to this on audiobook and it was very well done. The narrator does a wonderful job with all of the different accents and making character voices very distinct. She also did a great job conveying emotion as she was narrating. I really really think the narration of this series is excellent.

Kelsey is back in Oregon trying to get back to her old life. She’s started college classes and is living on her own. However her thoughts constantly return to Ren. When the evil mage from the first book tracks her down she flees back to India. There her and Ren’s brother, Kishan, continue on the quest to break the curse.

This book started out quite a bit slower than the first book of this series. There is a lot of Kelsey bemoaning the fact that she left Ren behind and trying to get past that by dating three guys at once. We hear a ton about her dating misfortunes and about how no one can compare to Ren. It was incredibly boring.

About halfway through, the story really picked up pace and was exciting again. For the second half of the book it is Kishan and Kelsey trying to figure out the next part of the curse. I really enjoyed these parts with all the adventure, traps, and riddles. Pretty much those elements of the story are the reason I keep reading this series.

I really enjoyed Kelsey’s level-headed behavior in the first book. I don’t know what happened to that in this book; she makes a lot of dumb decisions and is completely dense where Ren is concerned.

Kishan is in the story a ton and, although he is an okay character, I just didn’t like him that much. He spends a lot of time mooning after Kelsey even though Kelsey is obviously in love with his brother Ren. I think the whole scenario makes Kishan kind of an icky character.

There is a “twist” at the end involving Ren that you could see coming a mile away. It was soooooo predictable. I rolled my eyes and sighed when it happened. I mean seriously it is one of the lamest plot devices ever and I was really disappointed that that was the direction that Huock decided to take the story.

Despite all my complaints I do really enjoy the adventuring, the tomb-raiding, and the interesting curse. I love the mythology throughout as well. I just felt like the story was very unevenly paced and parts were outright boring. This book could have used some serious editing.

Although I didn't like this book as much as the first book there were parts that I did enjoy. I would recommend to those who enjoy young adult reads that include adventure and mythology; just be warned there is a bit of teen angsting in here...especially in the beginning that drags the story down some. Even give that I will continue to read this series.

Love this series.

These books are amazing. They crush your heart and make you believe in love all at the same time. You feel every hurt and laughter as if it were your heart being broke or mended. These are books you can't put down and when you do you feel out of sorts with reality for a few minutes. I highly recommend these books not just for young adults but for anyone looking for a book filed with magic, adventure, and love.

Great book but poor choice of Narrator

This is my favorite book series, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys fiction, romance, and fantasy, but Annika’s narration of every character aside from Kelsey’s was absolutely terrible and at certain points, so corny it was unbearable and comical. When she narrated for the bats and faeries I physically cringed and became so distracted that I lost all desire to listen. Did not do this amazing book the justice it deserves.

Wonderful story, hard ending

This is clearly the middle of the story, and should be read after the first in the series. There are hard scenes, pain, and hurt feelings. However, as this is my second time to read the series, I know the ending is beautiful.
Don’t start this book until you have time to read it and then immediately move on the the 3rd book. It’s not a cliff-hanger but I need the rest of the story to start because this ending is sad.

The best book in the world of books

I loved every second of all the books. Please make more. I'm dying for more. I can't get enough. They are like my role models. My favorite animal now is a tiger😄. After I listened to all the books I was in heaven. All of them are my favorite. And it's my favorite type of book too.
