But danger lurks around the corner, forcing her to return to India where she embarks on a second quest - this time with Ren's dark, bad-boy brother Kishan, who has also fallen prey to the Tiger's Curse.

Critic reviews

"Forget vampires and werewolves, tigers are the new hottest thing. The second book in Houck's Tiger's Curse series features a love triangle, passion and nonstop action. It's a guaranteed page-turner with a huge twist at the end that will leave you breathless." ( RT Book Reviews)

Fantanstic!!!!

Would you listen to Tiger's Quest again? Why?

Yes and I probably will. This is a book that I can get lost in and I miss it now that it is over.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Picking a favorite is impossible. All the characters are built beautifully and they feel like real people to you.

What about Annika Boras’s performance did you like?

Conversations come to life in her narrations.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

This series is full of "moments". So many times, i caught myself holding my breath.

Any additional comments?

This is a series that I have lost myself in. I have fallen in love with the characters, laughed and cried in this series. I am anxiously awaiting book 4 and I miss the characters in this series in between books. I will come back to this series again and again.

Keeps getting better!!!

Sequel to Tiger???s Curse (read my review), this book takes off where the last one left you!!! The writing only gets better and the plot thickens??? This is a must read for those who love action, adventure, foreign places, and a little romance. My whole family loves this series and we can???t wait for the next one to be released.

Kinda slow... or too fast.

What did you like best about this story?

I love that there are princes and tigers. Very good!

What about Annika Boras’s performance did you like?

She sounded down to earth, just like Kelsey. :)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Makes me laugh alot! And sad about the relationships.... I love Ren!

Any additional comments?

Very good book and I liked the reader, but she spoke so slowly. When I sped it up it was too fast LOL! But this book is WAY too good to worry about it. :D

Great fun read if you enjoy fantasy

I mix my books from serious to SEALs to fantasy. This was a light book which I enjoyed and would recommend.

Can't get enough!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to anyone that love to get swept away by listening to this wonderful story line.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I most say that I think Kelsey is the most brave,naive, understanding, and supportive one of the strongest characters in this book. But she was also made me want to shake her because I just didn't get how stubborn and clueless she could be at times. I've fell in love with the tigers as well as she have, it's like having a really good girl friend that you've known for half your life and the two of you can be as real and straight forward then most people that's on the outside. I wished that she would've had more of a support best friend to help her through all of her mixed emotional pain cause no one deserve to be hurt so deeply. The tigers (Ren,Keyshawn) need to be come together if they want a life time with Kelsey because you make sacrifices for true love no matter how deeply the cut can be with that person.

Which character – as performed by Annika Boras – was your favorite?

I would have to say that at first I was Cheering for Ren instead of Keyshawn but now that've gotten to the third book I must say that I would've chosen Keyshawn over Ren any day. Ren have a controlling type personality specially when he doesn't get his way. KeyShawn let Kelsey be her self with out really having her to try. I would like for Keyshawn to step more into the dominating roll instead of being so closed offish because he's afraid of getting hurt in the end.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Most definitely!!!

keshon

Would you listen to Tiger's Quest again? Why?

geting to know keshon and the drama of finding ren

Have you listened to any of Annika Boras’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no i have not herd any other books of annika boras's

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

i liked the narrato's performance she did a good job

Grab This Tiger's Tale!

What made the experience of listening to Tiger's Quest the most enjoyable?

The narrarator. (Previously, I thought there were two different people, but, no, Ms. Boras is magnificent and did it all!)

What did you like best about this story?

The love between Ren and Kelsey, and then when he is captured and they get him back the drama that ensues! A must read to find out.

Which character – as performed by Annika Boras – was your favorite?

Ren - I could listen to him talk all day. I could tell the difference between him and his brother even though there wasn't a great big difference. She did an amazing job! Fell in love with Ren, just by hearing him speak through Annika!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Tiger's Quest - Bring Me To Life

Any additional comments?

This book, this entire series is wonderfully done, clean, no foul language which makes it age appropriate. If you have read Tiger's Curse then you will undoubtedly know why I say I stay furious with Kishan most of the time. I get angry with Kelsey, too. But I also get upset with Ren and you will too! But, it's worth it --- in the end.

A slight twist on a original

What made the experience of listening to Tiger's Quest the most enjoyable?

I would have to say cultural side of it. It is not very often you get to listen to such a lovely accented voice while enjoying a book (or maybe thats just me) Then the small details the writer paid to explaining details to paint such a vivid picture in your head is just amazing.

What other book might you compare Tiger's Quest to and why?

Really a lot of werewolf type books. But as my title says its a twist on an original, and a very lovely twist in my eyes.

Which character – as performed by Annika Boras – was your favorite?

Kels by far.

Any additional comments?

Just go ahead and by all three books in this series. You wont regret it, I promise. Also I had a hard time listening to the first few minutes just because of how harsh the accent there is, it kinda grated on my nerves. Once you get past those first few minutes it changes to a much easier soothing voice that I eventually fell in love with.

Amazing

Always such an amazing story and novel. Colleen is an amazing artist and this will always be a favorite for me.

A great read

I downloaded Tiger's Curse first because of all the positive reviews I read here about it. I was very glad I did. Although, Im in my 40's, and these books may be geared more for the young adult, I was thrilled with the story and really connected with the characters.

Finishing the first I immediately downloaded Tiger's Quest and was still very pleased with the story, characters, and action.

The third book, Tiger's Voyage is due to be released November 2011 and I can hardly wait.

Try them, you won't regret it.

Annika Boras also made this a great listen, she does a wonderful job and brings a true voice to each character.
