Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck
2.0
It begins with such promise: a strong heroine with a sad past, a gorgeous tiger, a magical curse, a journey. And then it devolves into terrible sappy sap. Oh I want him, I can't have him, he's too beautiful for me. Gag. The adventure drowns in the childish constant whininess that Kelsey portrays. Ren, who of course is the most beautiful hero who ever heroed, vacillates between being excessively shy and passive and being arrogant and assertive - and btw how does he not need any adjustment period at all after being a tiger for 300 years?!
I'm not sure of the last part of the book annoyed me so much because I was fed up with the whiny fabricated drama or because it truly was vexing, but little things like waiting until sunset to "break up" when they were all alone all day - why?? Added to this is the stilted way Kelsey speaks at times. Which 17 year old actually says in a conversation "I feel sad for so and so." Awkward and unnatural. Finally, just because I'm on a cranky roll here, it irked me quite a ridiculous amount that they had peanut butter sandwiches. They don't sell that in most foreign countries, so I should believe that Mr Kaddam imported this one most precious of all items for Kelsey? Argh!!
Someone tell me if finishing this series is worth my time!
