Tiger's Voyage (Book 3 in the Tiger's Curse Series)
The third volume of Houck’s ambitious Tiger saga finds heroine Kelsey heartbroken as her inamorata Ren remains a victim of amnesia and can no longer remember her. So she embarks on another quest, this one designed to free man-tiger Ren from his amnesia and find the goddess Durga’s black-pearl necklace. The evil sorcerer Lokesh is determined Kelsey shall not succeed, and high adventure ensues. As in Tiger’s Curse and Tiger’s Quest (both 2011), this story is part action-adventure and part romance. Though not without contrivance, the novel will satisfy the saga’s fans, who will be delighted by the prospect of a fourth volume. Grades 8-12. --Michael Cart
