This is a book club for the people who love to read but don't like the close deadline. I absolutely love to read and I used to be able to consume about 4 books a week... then I had a baby and everything changed. I hardly have time to breathe anymore. But, I still like to read and am always looking for new books to read and authors/series to get hooked on. If you are in the same boat - join. :) Anyone is welcome.

Tiger's Curse
"The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she'd be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world.
But that's exactly what happened.
Face-to-face with dark forces, spellbinding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is what it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever."
I was pleasantly surprised with this book. My aunt had told me to read this,and I was a bit skeptical... I mean, c'mon, in a world where the new thing is sci-fi vampire/werewolf/etc stuff do I really want to read about a 500 year old curse that was put on a man turning him into a tiger? I didn't think so, but I read anyway. I really liked this book! And, I have the second in the series sitting on my nightstand right now... and I'll read it as soon as I'm done with my latest Sookie Stackhouse novel :P
When I first heard the premise of this book, I was excited. Instead of werewolves, there were tiger "shapeshifters". I thought this would be refreshing. Unfortunately, the writing of this book ruined what could have been a fantastic idea. Like another reviewer said, it sounded like the author telling the story instead of the character telling her story.
