THIS BOOK. WOW! This is my first read from Paullina Simons, and now I can say it won’t be my last. I’m incredibly impressed. The Tiger Catcher is a romance, but it is so much bigger than that. Love, loss, and adventure. This story has all the themes that pull on your heartstrings and keep you glued to the pages.
I opened this book expecting a romance, and what I got was so much more. There’s some mystery, some scifi elements…I dont want to go into too much detail and spoil it…but there’s a little bit of everything and I think so many readers will connect with this book.
Paullina Simon’s captivated me with The Tiger Catcher. I don’t want to spoil anything. You should just pick this novel up and give it ago. It’s probably too soon to say, but this could be in my top reads of 2019.

Out of the ordinary
Linda’s Book Obsession Reviews “The Tiger Catcher” by Paullina Simons, William Morrow, an Imprint of Harper Collins Publishing, May 28, 2019
Paullina Simons, Author of “The Tiger Catcher The End of Forever Saga” has written the first part of a trilogy. This is an intense, edgy, captivating, dramatic, enthralling, and emotional read. The Genres for this book are Fiction, with some input of Magical Realism, Romance, Historical Fiction, Time Travel, Fairy Tale, and Adventure. I had a difficult time trying to decide on what best genre fits, and I think a case can be made for all those mentioned. I found this to be a difficult and thought-provoking read as I was reading the second half of the novel. There are different time periods, and the story takes place in Los Angeles and England. The author describes are characters as complex and complicated. Some are obsessed, quirky and dysfunctional.
Julian writes a column for a newspaper in Los Angeles, has good friends and seems to be doing well. He meets an aspiring actress, Josephine and immediately becomes obsessed and drawn to her. There seems to be some magical essence that brings there world together. Julian is determined to spend his life with Josephine, no matter what. Just like in the song, “I Will Follow Him” sung by Little Peggy March, Julian will follow Josephine anyway, anytime, anyhow.
This is a book of twists and turns. Is Josephine who she says she is? There are deep dark secrets that can lead anywhere. I would recommend this novel for those readers who enjoy a dark, intense, thought-provoking novel.
I am a huge Paullina Simons fan and I have been waiting for her next book with impatience and trepidation. I could not wait to read The Tiger Catcher and I was very happy when I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher. I devoured this book! The Tiger Catcher has Paullina’s beautiful and unique writing style, complex and interesting characters, and an impossible love story (as to be expected from her books). It also has time travel which I knew about and a reincarnation theme, which I didn’t. I am fascinated by the reincarnation topic, I am always looking for more stories about it, so to find it in a book by my favorite author was such a great surprise and made me love The Tiger Catcher even more.
Paullina Simons doesn’t shy away from writing unlikable and problematic characters, characters who make bad decisions and stupid mistakes. But she makes her readers care and root for them regardless. Josephine and Julian’s relationship is all consuming and destructive, they both hurt other people in order to be together and have to recon with the consequences of their selfish behavior. But their love is so great, it will take them on a journey across space and time. On this journey they will have to learn from their mistakes and avoid the same disastrous pattern that tore them apart in the fist place. Will they find each other and their HEA? I very much hope so! I cannot wait to read the next book in the series, A Beggar’s Kingdom.
