In any case, let me assure you that this book is a blast even with ZERO prior knowledge of Korean folklore. I am completely new to the concept of the gumiho – though apparently there’s a pokemon based on one and a Korean TV show called My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho that I low-key can’t wait to watch. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a lighter read. Kat Cho did a wonderful job keeping me on my toes and weaving in Korean folklore. “ Wicked Fox is a delightfully fluffy read with just the right balance of twists, turns, and cheesy drama without being overwhelming and tacky. I am already working Vicious Spirits into my summer reading list! Also, there is so much dang cuteness between our protagonists that it easily outweighs any and all possible faults. I for one, adored every bit of it and would go so far to say that – in this aspect at least – Wicked Fox may very well be one of the MOST realistic depictions of teenage emotions that I have read in my lifetime. The back-and-forth between our MC’s might give whiplash to those less experienced in angsty teen dramas. Admittedly, though, this book does read like a bit of a soap opera at times. He makes no excuse for her actions and yet he is genuinely sympathetic to her lack of options. I also love that Jihoon never misunderstands this about her. We get to see so much conflict from our protagonist about who she is and what she does. I have been trying to put my finger on exactly what about this book resonated with me so heavily and I think it comes down to Miyoung. “Night and darkness made a believer of everyone.” – Kat Cho, Wicked Fox And the outcome could cost one of them everything. While their fragile relationship blooms Miyoung and Jihoon are faced with a series of impossible decisions. Jihoon, however, isn’t ready to give up on the girl who saved him so easily. After all, companionship is a risk she can’t afford to take with goblins on the loose.

In the wake of this traumatizing event, Miyoung struggles to distance herself from the boy who could ruin everything for her. In a frantic move to save him Miyoung makes a fateful mistake, putting her own life very literally in the hands of Jihoon. While searching the woods for a wicked predator on which to feed during her monthly full moon hunt, she stumbles upon a goblin attacking a boy of her same age named Jihoon. So be sure to give my book friend a follow since her reviews are top notch and also you can never be following too many book blogs!Įighteen year old Miyoung is a gumiho – one of the fabled nine-tailed foxes that survive by consuming the energy of men. This was a buddy read with book BFF Amanda of Bookish Brews and NO, this is not an Amanda stan account (…yet :P) but reading is indisputably more fun with a pal.
