Kelsey returns home to Oregon, where Mr. Kadam has enrolled her in college, but danger sends her back to India to begin another quest, this time with Kishan, to try to break the curse that forces Kisham and his brother Ren to live as tigers.

I love how much I learn about Indian culture and mythology as I read. Excellent continuation of the romance directly how I desired as well

It was an ok book. This was actually my second time reading it. The first time, I was much younger and had remembered this book fondly as a really fascinating introduction to Indian mythology tied into a modern-day quest (I had just finished my Percy Jackson obsession and was looking for something similar). 

However, this second time going through this series is proving to be disappointing. The writing is off and the whole plot line, as well as character relationships, seems forced and stilted at times. The only redeeming quality of this is the whole integration of mythology, as Ms. Houck is able to tie in mythology from all over the world, not just India (and provides some interesting insight into how many cultures share similar stories and beliefs, just with slightly differed characters and stories). 

The overall quest that Kelsey continues to pursue is interesting and worth some attention but some parts are forced and seem to have just been created for no reason at all (to make the quest seem more interesting? most things just don't work out the way I think the author intended them to...)

Basically, if you're able to ignore the stilted writing and awkward transitions, this is a good book to read if you want a YA introduction to Indian mythology.

In the second instalment of the Tiger Seiries Kelsey is back home and trying to mend her broken heart after leaving Ren. Kelsey may not know it but the curse still has ahold on her even so far from India and it sends her back but this time to save Ren. With Ren's "bad boy" brother to aid her on the journey they get one more step closer to breaking the curse. In the "Tiger's Quest" Kelsey must indure love and war to get back what was taken but it isn't as easy as it may look. This is book 2/5 in all and I give it a 10!!!!!! :)

One word: Wow

I loved this book so much! One of my internet friends told me about these books so I thought I'd read them and I'm so glad I did.

This book is soo much better than the first one.
I loved the whole date thing at the beginning of the book. I mean everybody was looking to going out with her and I loved that she did go out with them.
I loved Kishan in this book I'm in love with him seriously. The quest in this book was great, this book is filled with action, adventure, drama, romance. It has it all. Although I was in shock in the last few chapters, we'll see what happens in the next book.

Great fantasy book filled with action and a cute romance. I thought that this was a good followup to the first book. I am really enjoying this fun series. For a full review visit Dark Faerie Tales: http://darkfaerietales.com/review-tig...

Kelsey has been through a lot, well more than the average teenager. Finding out your best friend, who just so happens to be a tiger, is a human that is a 300 year old prince, that she has to save. On top of that little discovery she has to travel to India and go on adventures to break the curse. Of course let's not forget the evil immortal sea monkeys that just want to kill them. 

I fell in love with the Tiger Saga the moment I picked it up, of course it took me a year to do so, but better late than never. The Tiger's Saga is a gripping tale of romance and adventure. Both genres, of which I am in love with. 

Tiger's Quest, I found was a mixture of different elements. You have your romance, your adventures, but than you have your very old history. Yet not just any history there is different religions involved, there is mythology, and there is your ancient history. I am usually not one to read about religions but they just fit so well into the book! There is so many different connections between the histories, Houck did an amazing job at weaving them together. I was thoroughly impressed!

Now Kelsey, is still my favorite character in this book. Although, Mr. Kadam is rivaling that spot as of this moment. Kelsey, I feel, has whiplash in Tiger's Quest. No Joke!!! She leaves Ren behind, in India, and than continues to complain that he is not there, that he doesn't call her, that he does not love her, and that he has moved on. I like the girl, but good grief, you are the one that LEFT HIM!! Then there is the whole dating fiasco!

 I must admit, though, Kelsey is a very strong character. I don't think that she has fully grown into her role yet when it comes to the Curse of the tigers, but I think she will in time. In Tiger's Quest she has secrets that are revealed, she has to deal with a fatal blow that will honestly affect her throughout the book, and she has do deal with her new found powers. I just don't think I could take her place...well I probably would those prince's are kinda cute. I can't wait to see Kelsey develop and come into herself more as the series progresses.

Now Ren...all I am saying is you don't see much of him..moving on! Kishan, oh my goodness, this hot piece of man that makes me want to hit him. He is a flirt, big time. I wanted to smack him away and be like NO, she is Ren's not your's!! Since I am Team Ren and all. Kishan, at first was a bad boy but as Tiger's Quest goes on you notice, he is sweet, but he was always put last. Which is why he act's the way he does.

Now Mr. Kadam, is by far the greatest secondary character every written. He is funny, sweet, beyond brilliant, and would make a great grandpa. He takes care of Kelsey like his own, and love's her like his daughter. Mr. Kadam tells amazing stories, I always loved it when he would start talking about ancient history, or break into a story of mythology!

Tiger's Quest kept me wrapped up until the very end. Even if the ending made me angry! I must say that Colleen Houck definitely knows how to write an amazing story and I found no flaws in her writing, it was beautifully woven. Let's see where the next one takes me!

Read on my fellow tiger lovers, read on!!
