TIGERS CURSE by Colleen Houck

  1. I first have to say Kindle by Amazon is a wonderful thing now that you can download the application free for any computer
  2. This book was in my Amazon wish list before I had Kindle
  3. Its only $0.99 via Kindle
  4. It WAS only $0.99 via Kindle. Now that Colleen has a publisher the books are being pulled off of Amazon. They will return soon, i promise, just with a publisher under its name. Good Job Colleen, your books are worth publishing!
So yeah i bought it and then finished it within the week. I did ask myself "why is it only a dollar. Is it that bad?" No, its marketing. D. J MacHale publisher did the same thing for his "The Merchant of Death (Pendragon)" series. Which i would never had picked up if it wasn't $1.99 at the time.
Back to "Tigers Curse." If you love Tigers, exotic places, Princes under a curse, and mythological Gods then this is the book for you. I would not mind paying more than a dollar for this book because it is so worth it. Colleen Houck is new to the publishing world and is doing much better writing original stories compared to authors who are her seniors.
When a hot royal Indian Prince tells you that you are the only one who can break his curse be prepared for an adventure. There is some major Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom vibes going on in the book but with a Jane instead of a Jones.
"Tigers Cures" is the first book out of Colleen Houck's first cycle (four) which makes the wait for the last book so painfully juicy. Colleen is the next teen author to look out for. Her adventures are new, original and refreshing. Her protagonist is a smart responsible girl who can see fact from fiction.

"Tigers Curse" is SO buzz worthy I'm jealous of the main character. But i would also pass my copy along to a friend if it wasnt stuck in my computer
