Kelsey is heartbroken. Ever since they rescued Ren from Lokesh he has no idea who Kelsey is or the things they did together, it is like there anything Kelsey related was wiped clean from his memory. Luckily though, to distract her from this Kelsey, Ren, Kishan, and Mr. Kadam set off again on another adventure trying to break the curse put on the boys thousands of years ago, a curse that transformed them into tigers. 

Not only do they have to be careful of Lokesh and his followers, but they also have to face seven dragons to break the curse and not all of them are friendly. So they set out, ready to face what lies ahead of them. Taking a yacht to the seven pagodas, they battle krakens, killer sharks and other mythical creatures but it is hard for Kelsey when her heart is torn apart. 

A fascinating read that mixes legend with modern day. Colleen Houck creates a  tale dripping with Indian culture and myth. I really liked this book but I could have done without the love triangle but that's just me. It was a lot if fun reading about all the food and customs in India today. I definetly will reccomend the Tiger's Curse Series to my friends!

The Agency 2: The Body at the Tower

Mary Quinn is just your average girl in Victorian London, not a threat to anyone in particular, her being a woman....which is what makes her such a perfect spy. Mary works for an all female spy organization called the Agency. Quick witted and no stranger to lower class life, Mary is sent to the Tower of London after a body was found at the building site. But this time she goes disguised as Mark Quinn, a twelve year old boy, to try and unravel the mystery.

However, not everything goes as planned when she runs into an old acquaintance on the building site, James Easton, a young engineer,one who had helped her on another case actually. With her cover almost blown, she has no choice but to accept his help in disentangling this conundrum. Though solving a case is a lot more challenging when dealing with a man like Mr. James Easton.

I believe that this follow up in The Agency series is even better than the first! Y. S. Lee  vividly recreates the world of London, England in the 1850s. I felt like I took a step back in time and was there with Mary herself solving puzzles. A well crafted mystery, with just enough to keep you guessing who did it.

Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy

Can you guess who wrote this book? That's right, Ally Carter is back once again with her sequel to I'd Tell You I'd Love You, but Then I'd Have to Kill You. Last semester didn't go so well for Cammie, well, besides the fact that she got her very first boyfriend ever (spoiler alert)...which the government found out about and forced her to end their relationship; which was seen as a threat to  public security. Now boyfriend less, Cammie makes herself a promise not to use her spy training for anything but for her Covert Operations class.

All too soon though Cammie is put to the test, when she and her friends find out that there is not only another spy school out there, but it is one for boys. And they are coming to Gallagher Academy to pay a visit. And these very same boys may be just as good or better than the Gallagher Girls. Unable to help herself, Cammie is sucked into cracking the code that is the mysterious Blackthorne Boys, and she's back to trailing, hacking, and bugging. However, will Cammie and her crew be able to solve this enigma?

An excellent sequel written by Ally Carter, that makes me wish that I went to Gallagher Academy and was friends with Cammie Morgan as she crawls through secret passages around the school. A book well worth reading...it just makes me wonder if there really is a school like this in real life?

I'd Tell You I Love You , But Then I'd Have to Kill You

What a title! It is absolutely an attention grabber when looking at all the books on the shelf. The first installment of Ally Carter's Gallagher Girl series is a hilarious look at a Cammie Morgan's life as she falls for the super cute and super sweet boy in her town of Roseville, Virginia. The catch? Cammie goes to a posh boarding school that the people of Roseville believe is just for spoiled little girls who have nowhere else to go. Of course that is what Cammie's school wants them to think, because in reality, the truth is a whole lot messier.
Cammie goes to a school for spies.
 Where Cammie and her spies take classes such as Cultures of the World (COW), Protection and Enforcement (P&E), or a history of espionage. Although she is able to speak fourteen different languages and is a certified genius, she has no clue how to speak the language of boy.  More than that, a normal boy who thinks that Cammie is a normal girl. Follow Cammie and her friends as the  dig through garbage, plant bugs, and hack into his computer trying to make herself into the girl that he thinks she is. This book was so much fun and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see into the life of a teenage super spy.

An Abundance of Katherines

I just found out about all the John Green books, and I like each one better and better. An Abundance of Katherines tells all about Colin, who graduated from college and has been dumped by the 19th time by 19th Katherine. As the book goes on, you begin to understand why Colin only dates girls named Katherine, and how that reflects on who he is as a person.
 It starts off just as he and Katherine XIX have just broken up, and to deal with it, he and his best friend decide to go on a road trip. They drive to a rural area in Gutshot, Tennessee, where Colin learns more and more about how to perfect his formula. Being a genius, Colin has decided to create an equation to tell him how his relationship with Katherine is going to turn out, and repeatedly draws graphs and functions describing his relationships.
The whole book shows incredible character maturity and I really enjoyed reading all the unexpected plot twists. I definately recommend it as well as all the other books by John Green!
