‘Wicked Fox’ by Kat Cho
This romance-fantasy is a contemporary spin on age-old Korean legends that feature gumiho, a mythical nine-tailed fox that turns into a beautiful woman and must feast on the souls of men to stay alive.
Can you get more badass? I’ll wait.
When Miyoung comes across Jihoon being attacked, she protects him, which goes against her code. She loses her fox bead — her gumiho soul — in the process. In this vibrantly written depiction of modern-day Seoul with more than a splash of K-drama, Miyoung and Jihoon navigate dangerous forces hiding at every turn as their unlikely friendship shifts into something more intimate. Make sure to check out the first book in this exciting new duology.
Oh, pro tip: Make sure to eat before you crack it open because every few pages you will be hit with another food description that will have you salivating and in need of a snack.
