I really do not like this book. Not any part of it. Not at all. I've read it twice now, both for the Rabid Readers club, and I disliked it the second time even more than the first time. I found myself hate-reading, talking back to all the ridiculous things in the book. I would never have kept reading if it wasn't for book club.

The beginning of the book caught my attention, and I was intrigued by the story line. It kind of fell apart after that more me. The writing felt a bit juvenile. I didn’t like the back and forth with the romance or the hint of a possible love triangle. I think it just wasn’t for me.

I quit this book when Ren asked Kelsey if he could kiss her and she got mad at him for asking and said that asking was dumb. Girl what?

I absolutley LOVED this book!!! Kelsey shows a sense of bravery and courage in this book and over time she develops a love for Ren the white tiger. Also, I love that she is not afraid to say no to the one she loves. When I was debating whether to read it or not a bunch of reviews told me it was a rip off of Twilight. That is totally NOT the case. This is at least five times as great as Twilight! Colleen Houck has definatly created a masterpiece! READ THIS BOOK!!!

UPDATE October 2017: I reread this novel and I spent a lot of the time cringing. It's most definitely not my favourite novel of all time anymore, as its cringy and I read it 6 years ago. It still has it's good moments, but I appreciate it more for the fact that it introduced me to the world of YA. I would rate this novel 3.75/5 stars, because of the cringyness but also the ships still keep me alive. Oh the woeful love triangles need to die.

Holy shit!! Holy shit!!! Holy shit!!!!

This book was and still is amazing. I picked this book up for a club at school and just thought the cover looked cool. But it's not just the cover that's cool!!
I picked up the booking expecting average things to happen and for me to get an average review out of it. But not this one. This book shocked me. It's now my all time fav series ever!!!
The fact that Kelsey is just an ordinary girl from Oregon that gets a job for her college tuition, and finds herself twisted in an Indian world of magic and fictional events is just amazing.
I loved the Indian culture, though I'm not sure that most of it is even true. Is Durga a real person from Indian culture?
I also really loved how Kelsey can be so childish in thinking that she's not good. Enough for Ren. And how they argue and still have a good time. (Loved the sarcastic remarks via Kelsey).
Though everything amazing about it, the only flaw for this book is that there's the typical cheesy love triangle that seems to be in every romance book.
Who's she gonna pick? Ren? Or Kishan?
Aside from cheesy love triangles, romance doesn't seem to be the main objective of this book. It's about trust. And living your life to the fullest. Taking risks even though you have no idea where it's going to take you.
