These books have been my guilty pleasure for the last couple of years, anxiously waiting for the next book to come out. I couldn't wait to read what would happen to all of my favorite characters, especially Ren ;) As soon as I got my copy of the book I started reading it with a really heavy heart because of the way the last book ended and reading some early reviews for Tiger's Destiny had me on edge.
This book picks up right were we left off in the previous one and Kelsey being a prisoner. The tw ...more

4+ for this one--I liked it more than Voyage, but… Again, the adventure and quest were fantastic, but the romance was just tiring. Who wants to read hundreds of pages of (view spoiler)?! I couldn’t keep myself from paging ahead often to see when it would finally stop and finding myself extremely disappointed at the unending angst. (And, I HATE looking ahead in books – just ruins the read for me!) Kelsey is such 4+ for this one--I liked it more than Voyage, but… Again, the adventure and quest were fantastic, but the romance was just tiring. Who wants to read hundreds of pages of (view spoiler)?! I couldn’t keep myself from paging ahead often to see when it would finally stop and finding myself extremely disappointed at the unending angst. (And, I HATE looking ahead in books – just ruins the read for me!) Kelsey is such an idiot so much of the time! I honestly have grown to hate her in a lot of ways over the course of the last two books! Never have I been so irritated by a main character--and her frustrating behavior also rubbed off on other characters, like (view spoiler). The whole thing was infuriating!! There really should have been more (view spoiler) moments IMO. And, I have to say that Kelsey is lucky that (view spoiler). Kinda yucky!

I ended up really liking the ending of this book ((view spoiler)), but it took too long to get there and the resultant character degradation made me want to rip my hair out!! And, I did guess some of what would happen in this book/series VERY early on (e.g.(view spoiler)). I was very sad about (view spoiler). I was also incredibly irritated that some synopses I read for this book gave away too much ((view spoiler)--that’s no fun! I try to avoid major spoilers before I read a book, so I was mad that a simple book synopsis gave so much away!

I did love the adventure stuff, the trials, wars, mythical people/creatures, etc. All very exciting and gripping--also this is a very fast-paced read where something’s always happening. The final battle was incredibly good--I liked Kelsey’s strength and kick-butt attitude/behavior--she really has grown in this regard over the course of the series. I guess that’s one good thing I can say about her. I liked how everything tied up in the end, too. This series really has been unforgettable so far and I’ve enjoyed it very much--love triangle aside.

What the heck is the next book about?! Hopefully it provides some answers to nagging outstanding questions I had at the end of this book (e.g. (view spoiler)). I’m anxious to read more, whatever it is! (Especially since, presumably, I don’t have to read more Kelsey+Kishan+Ren romantic angst!! YAY!!!!!)

Ok, I waited for a LONG time to read this series, and I'm so glad I did. I read all four back to back, eating them up, crying through the sad parts, cursing Colleen through the heart break, and losing countless hours of sleep saying, "Just one more chapter..."
Not one book is my favorite, and this was by far the best series I have EVER read.
It may not have been super fast paced, but it never dragged. Colleen did an amazing job describing everything. It was like I was Kelsey falling in love, fe ...more

I have one word: Wow! The months that I had waited and envisioned how Tiger's Destiny would turn out and I can honestly say that I had been wrong on many things. This novel was a thrilling surprise that left me breathless as I delved into the world of the cursed tigers and the hope of breaking that curse once and for all.

I thought nothing would surprise me when I first picked up this book, but i was very wrong, but not in a bad way. The twists and thrills that Colleen Houck created in Tiger's D ...more

After the long wait for Tiger's Destiny, you start to forget why you love this series as much as you remember. But then you start reading Destiny and you realise, remember and experience again why Collen Houck is so amazing.
Tiger's Destiny is everything you expect and so much more. It's a heart wrenching, exciting, adventurous and wonderful novel. It confronts everything and then some. You know that a novel is amazing when the book takes on a life if it's own like this novel does. ...more

I'm considering changing the rating to Tiger's Quest and Tiger's Voyage to 5 stars because of how this book ended. Really, they were fabulous books! I just hated the decisions of the characters and even Tiger's Destiny has droven me absolutely out of my mind, but it is such a beautiful book nonetheless! I loved it and the ending was lovely. Despite how much I LOVE Kelsey & Ren and how I am no where near Team Kishan, the ending was still bitter sweet for me. Colleen Houck was able to tug at my he ...more

I was satisfied with the ending to the series. I just hate that I wanted to slap Kelsey every other second. I guess that's how you make a 4 book series. Make the protananist stupid for most of the books, because if she was smart the books would've been shorter and not as many. I did love all the background stories about Durga and other majestic magical stuff. Overall I did really like this series. Oh and I LOVE all the Oregon references! ...more
