Review: Tiger's Voyage

Tiger's Voyage by Colleen Houck (#3 in the Tiger Series)

Synopsis from: Shelfari.com
Published by: Splinter

Kelsey Hayes pushes through the pain of lost love and strengthens her friendship with Kishan. Despite his strong feelings for her, Kishan has agreed to be her ally in helping her reunite with the man she still loves. Together, they seek to help Ren regain his memory and begin the search for the third magical gift; an object of power that will help break the curse that causes them to live part of their lives as tigers.

They board a luxury yacht and seek Durga's aid once again, who supplies them with her golden weapons. With Nilima, Mr. Kadam, Ren, and Kishan at her side, she soon learns that the task ahead will be even more difficult than the others. Confronting a dark magician, multiple dragons, and terrifying denizens of the deep seems easy when compared to facing the daunting task of stitching up her heart. Just when she thinks she's ready to set her feet on a new path, she is yanked back with a jolt to the one she's determined to leave behind.

The jarring tug-of-war that ensues for Kelsey's heart leaves her anxious and confused. Combined with the stress of almost being killed every other day, it would appear that saving the tigers is almost more than she can handle. Still, she presses on, knowing that a choice is looming on the horizon. One she cannot put off making for long.

Being the third book in the Tiger Saga, I was highly anticipating the book. The last book sort of left me on the edge, wanting more. I couldn't believe what had happened. For those who have already read Tiger's Quest, you'll get what I mean. I was left heartbroken at the end of the book, and couldn't believe what was happening. I nearly nearly cried at the end of the book.

Colleen Houck never fails to displease me. She has so much detail in her books, that I find myself reading every inch of the page, just so that I won't miss anything. That doesn't usually happen, but Colleen puts so much info in the book that I can't risk skimming the pages. I read this book easily because it was so exciting and action packed, romance wise as well as part of the mission.

I felt that this book circled more around the love triangle than the actual mission. I mean, yes, they were still very serious about the mission and finding all of the treasures. But from my point of view, I looked more forward to those scenes where they argued about their relationship, and what was going to happen.

I know that I'm supposed to be a Ren fan, but this book made me pissed at him. I wanted to punch him, even if it wouldn't end up doing any damage to his beautiful face. It made me like Kishan a little more, but I couldn't doubt that part of me that longed for Kelsey and Ren to end up together.

I recommend this book to anyone who's, of course, read the first two groups. But of course, I suggest this saga to anyone who enjoys action and romance, because I have to say, there's a lot of both!
