Kelsey, Ren, Kishan, and the whole gang are back in Tiger's Quest, the sequel to Tiger's Curse.
I'm going to start off by saying that I already knew Ren lost his memories of Kelsey at the end. Still, it kinda had an impact on me, especially when he's arguing with Kishan about not remembering her and Kelsey hears. I want those two to be together (for now), so he had better remember how much he loves her!
That was probably my favorite part of the book, and also when the fight with Lokesh was explained, because I was wondering why they weren't freaking out that he had gotten Kishan's medallion and why Ren punched Kelsey. It was nice to understand it all.
Overall though, this book is pretty weak to me. Yes, I like the plot and how it's in India, but what I can't stand is Houck's writing style. Her sentences are horribly choppy and just do not flow at ALL. I was really hoping she'd improved some since the first book, but clearly she hasn't. Also, I liked Tiger's Curse better; I liked seeing Ren a lot (not that I don't like Kishan), see his relationship with Kelsey form, and I just enjoyed it more so than this book. Ren's getting a little bit more into the modern time, which is funny, and I love his love of peanut butter; it's cute. I like how Kishan can be so cocky and weak at the same time and can openly flirt so easily, and I must say, it would be very hard to pick which one I would fall in love with. And one more thing: faeries? Really? In this story? Gosh, that didn't work at all...
One of my main annoyances with this book is Kelsey herself; she just doesn't seem like a very strong character and I don't like the way she describes things. I mean, when she sees Ren all bloody and beaten in that vision, she should have described how he looked better. And it bothers me how she kinda uses Kishan (you know how I mean).
So, for now, I don't plan of finishing this series. And maybe I'm quitting too soon, but I just don't think it's working for me.

This book took me forever to read. It's at times "roll your eyes" juvenile. I love young adult fiction but maybe the author tried real hard to make this girl ridiculously immature? I feel obligated to read the last book as my sister bought it for me. Maybe I'll be lucky and it will end with a bang, not with a yawn.

Definitely better than the first, but not by a ton. I think the book would be better told from Mr. Kadam's point of view and save us some of the needless drama that goes on in Kelsey's head. This COULD be such a great story, instead it's sadly mediocre.

I could give this a 4.8, but i love the series too much to give it anything less than a 5 stars, except the 4th book.
Overall i love the book, but there was just a few scenes that pissed me off in this.
And the ending, that cringe scene. Uh why.
I love kishan. He's so mistreated. He actually deseves the world. I LOVE YOU KISHAN.
And kelsey, i just cant with her. She doesnt fully, but she just lacks personality. Like she has such a standard personality and dialogue. I think its her dialogue. Every other character is uniquely themselves. They have their own personality.
But with kelsey, i just cant at times.
The start of tigers quest i always enjoy, even this reread. Kishan 💙. It's just some scenes more towards the end that trigger me.

I've read this when I was super young and I really enjoyed it, but then I remember how devastated I was with the second one and decided to stop reading the series altogether even though I had all of the books. Guess that's when my obsession with dark haired second love interests started, the authors never do them justice and just use them for the plot of bringing the other two together yuck. I remember the potential. But still these covers are the most beautiful still, gorgeous. I've decided to re-read but yeah ://
