Tiger's Destiny Review and My Dream Cast with Kelsey!


 
With three of the goddess Durga's quests behind them, only one prophecy now stands
in the way of Kelsey, Ren, and Kishan breaking the tiger's curse. But the trio's greatest
challenge awaits them: A life-endangering pursuit in search of Durga's final gift, the
Rope of Fire, on the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal.
It's a race against time--and the evil sorcerer Lokesh--in this eagerly anticipated fourth
volume in the bestselling Tiger's Curse series, which pits good against evil, tests the
bonds of love and loyalty, and finally reveals the tigers' true destinies once and for all.
The Tiger’s Saga is one of the BEST book series I have ever read!  From the 1st page of the 1st book I was hooked.  Houck has this unique style of writing a Love story, wrapping it in a history lesson and topping it off with an awesome bow that is part Ren and part Kishan.   The characters in these books are so well developed and the story’s so engrossing, you won’t be able to tear your eyes off the pages until you’ve reached the end and it’s just blank. 
We have come to the end of our journey with the trio we have come to know and love; what does Durga have in store for them this time.  As they continue on the final stretch of their journey to fulfill Durga’s tasks and finally set the Prince’s free from Lokesh’s curse that has imprisoned them for centuries they must, of course, travel down a dark and bumpy road along the way.  This last installment proves just how stubborn, hardheaded, loving and loyal Kelsey truly is.  As well as what depths each prince will go to, to protect the woman they love, to be the one to win her heart entirely in the end.   
As with each book before, Houck brings in a bit of the paranormal aspect to her writing.  In this installment we meet The Phoenix, some nasty tribal vampires, some exquisite telepathic horses, two psychotic brothers/spirits and an ancient army of warriors willing to stand with our trio and fight. When it’s all said and done and the dust from their last journey settles, who will walk away with their lives?  Who will we have to say a tearful goodbye to?  And, most importantly, who will have Kelsey’s hand in the end?  I won’t say heart because I believe that these 3 people have been through so much and shared so much that their hearts and lives will be forever entwined.   
This book is packed with the adventure, romance and turbulent life threatening choices we have come to expect and love from this series. Unfortunately, I must read the ending along with all of you as Houck did not include the last few chapters in the ARC.  I am confident about who is going to end up where with what was in my copy though, I doubt I will be disappointed!  If you’ve read all the books and picked up on all the clue’s Houck has left, like a trail of bread crumbs, I think you will come to the same conclusion. 
5/5 Guys, this book, this series is a MUST READ!!

MY DREAM CAST WITH KELSEY!!  EMMA ROBERTS!!





Kelsey Hayes has dark brown eyes, pale skin and golden/brown hair that falls past her shoulders in loose waves.  In our latest installment, Tiger’s Destiny, Kelsey’s hair has taken on some blonde highlights due to all the time she has spent in the sun.  She usually keeps her hair braided and adds in ribbons, this reminds her of her mother.  Ren often says Kelsey smells like peaches and cream; he loves her chocolate cookies and her amazing smile. 
Selfless and fiercely loyal, she is always putting others before herself, forgetting to take care of her own needs.  She would risk her life for someone she loves!  Extremely sarcastic and yet, when she is nervous she responds with humor and dry wit. 
My “Dream Cast” for Kelsey Hayes would be Emma Roberts!  She is extremely beautiful, an excellent actress and embodies all the important traits of Kelsey.  I think this wickedly talented Brown Eyed Girl could do our Kelsey justice!!
