It's all thanks to my oh-so wonderful teeny bopper friends introduced me to the latest craze in YA fiction. Oh, it is not enough to have a suethor peer review my work and it is not enough for my classmates to be enjoying Twilight: The graphic novel. No. They had to introduce me to The Tiger's Curse. Lovely.
I cracked open the cover to find sparkling reviews comparing the story to Twilight. That was my first clue that I was about to claw out my eyes. The story is told in first person perspective from a teenaged girl named Kelsey. Would you really expect anything less?
Long story short, Kelsey holds her breath enough times in one page that you'd expect she'd have died by chapter four, she feels a strange attraction to a "melancholic" tiger, and it turns out the tiger is a prince. Awesome. That just screams quality writing, doesn't it?
In any case it appeals to teen girls. This is fair warning that a large fanbase is beginning to swarm, so the PPC should be prepared.
