Tiger's Curse

Tiger’s Curse
By Colleen Houck
Splinter, 2011. 403 pgs. Young Adult

Kelsey Hayes has just graduated from high school and is not quite sure what to do with her future. When she finds a temporary job helping care for animals while the traveling circus is in town she figures it will at least fill the time until she can find something else. What she doesn’t count on is feeling a connection with a white tiger that eventually leads her to India to try to break a 300-year-old curse.

This book was enjoyable but I think I would have liked it more as a teenager. This is another young adult book with a teen girl that doesn’t feel worthy of the attention of a man that she considers perfect. Mr. Perfect also has a flirtatious brother who further complicates everyone’s feelings. Adventure, mystery and romance make this a good read for teens and Twilight fans. The next book in the series comes out in June 2011.
