π Book Reviewπ Happy Monday loves, it's back to the regular work week for me. I hope you all had a fun & safe weekend. . I've been going back through my list of read books to make sure I have left reviews for everything, so don't mind me while I play catch up on books I read months ago π
. Book: Wicked Fox Author: @katjcho Genre: YA Fantasy Rating: ββββ Audiobook: ββββ Miyoung is a girl with a secret, she's a gumiho, a nine-tailed fox who must devour the energy of men in order to survive. Living in modern day Seoul, she choses to feast on evil men who no one would miss. In the forest one night, after having fed during the full moon, Miyoung stumbles upon a goblin in the process of attacking a teenage boy. She makes the rash decision to save him but in the process, looses her fox bead (her gumiho soul), before fleeing the area. Soon after, Jihoon, is surprised to see the fox girl who saved him, is his new classmate. She pointedly tries to ignore him, but his infectious friendliness eventually wears down her guard & they develop a tenuous friendship. I had so many feelings when it comes to this book. I was invested in the characters developing relationship & hoped for Miyoung to finally find a place she could fit in. Some feedback I have seen for this story, includes those having issue with how it was marked vs the actual book. I will agree, this story is definitely not as lighthearted as the synopsis would make it seem, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Another issue some have, was that it reads very episodic -almost like an actual K-Drama- but that was just a plus for me. My one critique, was the frustration I felt regarding her relationship with her mother. There were some very simple conversations that could have taken place to resolve a good portion of the plot. Overall, I loved story & really appreciated the cultural and supernatural elements you don't often get to see in the western media. I am very excited to soon be able to read the sequel, Vicious Spirits, out next month. .
