Review: Tiger’s Quest (The Tiger Saga #2) by Colleen Houck

by The Lit Bitch3 Comments on Review: Tiger’s Quest (The Tiger Saga #2) by Colleen Houck

Kelsey Hayes has just arrived home in Oregon from her adventure packed and emotional summer abroad in India.

Kelsey has been helping two brothers, Ren and Kishan, try and break an ancient curse.

She and Ren successfully fought off deadly monkeys to break the first part of the curse, but they still have to complete a series of challenges to break the entire curse.

While they have been tracking down the clues that will break the curse, Kelsey and Ren have also fallen in love.

Kelsey is scared to death that Ren will break her heart so she does what she thinks is best–she runs like hell back to Oregon leaving Ren alone in India.

She loves Ren but deep down she doesn’t feel like she deserves him, plus he’s been a tiger for hundreds of years how does he know that she is the one for him?

Review: Dark Angel: A Gothic Fairy Tale by T.J. Bennett

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Dark Angel: A Gothic Fairy Tale by T.J. Bennett

Strong winds and storm surges batter the hull of a ship carrying the young widow Catherine Briton home to England.

Catherine spots land and tells the captain that they should abandon ship and try to make it to the island. To her dismay the captain refuses and denies that he even saw the land.

The ship eventually sinks and Catherine is left floating in the ocean waiting for death to overtake her. Instead of dying, she wakes up on the beach of the island she saw from the ship.

A stranger rescues her and takes her back to his castle. When she awakes she finds that the man, Gerard, not only saved her life but he is ridiculously good looking as well.

As she regains her strength she finds that things are a little strange on the island. She seems to be stuck in some weird time  lapse. There is also a feral beast that stalks the island.

Review: Tiger’s Curse (The Tiger Saga #1) by Colleen Houck

by The Lit Bitch5 Comments on Review: Tiger’s Curse (The Tiger Saga #1) by Colleen Houck

For recent high school graduate, Kelsey Hayes, the summer is all about finding a job so she can start community college in the fall.

But in a sleepy Oregon town, there are not a lot of job opportunities for high school grads so when she is offered a job at a traveling circus she quickly accepts.

The jobs sounds pretty easy: selling tickets, helping clean up after shows, and she gets to live on sight….oh and she has to help care for the circus tiger.

She isn’t really sure what to do about the tiger, on one hand he scares her but she finds him oddly intriguing and comforting. Every night after the show she sneaks into the tiger tent to read to him and draw.

One night after the show, Kelsey finds a man outside the tiger’s cage. She learns that he has offered to purchase the tiger and take him back to India to a tiger refuge. But there is a catch–he wants Kelsey to accompany him and the tiger to India.

After talking to her foster parents, they agree to let her go as it would be a great for her to travel and possibly gain some job experience. When she arrives in India, it’s soon revealed that everything is not what it seems.

by The Lit Bitch3 Comments on Review: The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real Magic by Emily Croy Barker

Nora Fischer wants a new life.  Any will do really. She just wants things to be different and she doesn’t really care how…just different. Well you know what they say….be careful what you wish for because you just may get it.

Nora is crashing and burning on her English thesis and post graduate work, her serious boyfriend just broke it off with her to marry someone else and suddenly this plain Jane finds herself at her friends wedding forced into an awkward social situation with her ex.

She just needs to take a little breather before the wedding. She wakes up one morning to go for a brisk walk in the countryside to regroup and maybe do a little reading. Grabbing a beat up copy of Pride and Prejudice, she sets off in the morning mist and disappears.

She happens to stumble upon a little graveyard in the hills and somehow ends up in a parallel world where she meets Ilissa, a beautiful fairy who is practically royalty. Ilissa’s world is full of beauty, extravagant parties, and love. She introduces Nora to her son Raclin who is the perfect prince charming.
