Kelsey planned
to work through the summer, earn a bit of money and go back to college at the
end of the summer. Her plan seemed to be working fine as she secured a job at
the circus. There she forms a bond with the tiger Ren. Her plans start to go
astray when Ren is bought by a man from India and Kelsey is given an
opportunity of a lifetime to accompany them to India. The offer is simple
enough as all her costs were borne by the man who had bought Ren and they even
offered Kelsey an opportunity to travel around in India. Once they are in India
that Kelsey finds out about an ancient curse that had turned two Princes into
tigers and that Kelsey is the only one who could break it.
This novel
did not disappoint me. There’s a lot of action, adventure, drama and even
romance in it. Kelsey, being the central character, has a lot resting on her
shoulders. She is a brave girl who befriended a circus tiger and accepted to do
whatever it takes in order to break the ancient curse. She is a no-nonsense sort
of girl when it comes to breaking the curse. But when it comes to her personal
love life – she really irritated me. Her self-sacrifice was uncalled for and
made me want to smack her. Ren a.k.a Alagan Dhiren a.k.a Indian prince is just
wow! He is handsome, he is caring and he is daring. But he can be really
arrogant too. We also got a sort of ‘glimpse’ of Kishan, Ren’s brother &
the second prince and I must say that even in that short glimpse, he has me
liking him… But the character that I loved the most is Mr.Kaddam. He is the one
person who holds it all together. His level of loyalty to his princes is really
commendable. He is expert in researching and has great influence. But I loved
the way he treats Kelsey from the very beginning. He has a good heart and I
love him for being the cool ‘parent’ figure in this book.
The
language is great and so is the author’s eye to details. After Harry Potter, I
have finally found a series that I literally want to devour!
I really want to read these series. Big Cats are my favorite animals. Thank you so much for your review
