At first I read the lame review & my interest went off in the next most interesting thing;

"The LAST thing Kelsey Hayes wants to do is hike in the Indian jungle...but, guess what! That's what she just did!"

Nevertheless, after that I found out the next book and thought, "Hmm,THIS one is the ONE I want to read." Because it just seemed too darn good.
But, for that, I had to read the first one, & the plot line, & character & that, so.... Also, well, an old myth, a curse & a aparently good next continuation (whit a sexy black tiger).
Well, why not?

Going on with the fancy story, I stared the book and thought "Hey, this is not that bad" With Kelsey and her orphan story, the weird fertilizer-like food Kelsey's foster mom does and shit.
But EVERYTHING got screwed when the Come to the circus & get a crush on a CAGED TIGER chapter stared.
WHAT?
Those parts I read them twice.
Where those words serious??

Kelsey naively deals with her all-is-Okay-in-my-job attitude.
Then Captain Obvious enters the scene & I wanted to die while reading, because, REALLY?
Is charming going to mutate in a frog? 'Cause naive, distressed Princesses LOVE frogs!

And THEN apears this misterios man. You could SWEAR he's a bad boy that SURE hates Charming, and you just say, "Okay, Kelsey, RUN!"
But she doesn't.
She stays.
In fact, she flies all the way from Oregon to India with a total and competely UNKNOWN who happens to have his own airplane and, based on looks, could own India himself. Also with this white tiger with complex of kitten; she as his chaperone, with her -yeah, maybe crazy and oblivious from the world- foster parents permision and lots of good wishes to the young lady.

Now I wanted to SCREAM in frustration;

What the hell is WRONG with YOU people? I mean, look at the guy! And she's just a naive girl that is 18 years old since,like, three days ago, HELLO?!

I just didn't get it.
It all was just so wrong.
What in name of everything good in earth was all that for? I had questions so obvious that Kelsey hadn't. Actually, her curiosity was like out of the picture, but inside the context. I mean, she asked looots of questions like, "Hey, Mr Kadam, how's that you have this NICE airplane?" but nothing like "What do you want this tiger for, or why this one or just, What the hell?"
I just wanted to get into the book & scream to her to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

And, then, the story STARTS

. I continued because of my curiosity. Something told me the things just couldn't be so obvious & non-sense at this point of the book.

Actuallu, too good I didn't gave up in the book, because after the last 100 pages or so, the story turns out to become interesting. Good, you know, with my questions answered and the task on hand, everything fit thogeter beautifuly OK.

It's like if Indiana Jones would've become a young 18 girl who isn't stupid at all (no matter what you could have thought about her in the beginin), brave, bold, with a hidden sarcastic side(!) & a good & handsome reason to delve herself in the jungle.

Well, it annoyed me the way Ren shows himself. Kelsey is about have a attack and he just say "I'm an old prince with a curse. So, there's no time, listen. I don't know how or why but you can help me, got it?" And he gets his tiger form again and Kelsey is open-mouthed. She manage to swallow and take this cool attitude. BELIEVING at first.

But the end make woth it. Actually, the end have its own AWESOMENESS that was just unbelievable for a book, no matter YA or Adult or whatever genere you want to compare with.

I have to admit it:

Yes, I AM VALERIA & I LIKED THE BOOK, no matter my sarcastic tone in the parts I didn't went fine to.

I mean, GIVE it an opportunity before you hang it in the shelf of disliked-books.
You won't reject it.
Or you will, I don't know. Just go for it.
