Book Review: Wicked Fox (Gumiho, #1)

Wicked Fox (Gumiho, #1)

Wicked Fox

Kat Cho

5/5

Miyoung has been shuffled from place to place her entire life, her mother's attempts at protecting her from exposing her half-gumiho nature. When she sees a boy being attacked by a goblin one night, she can't stop herself from saving him. She loses her fox bead in the process, dislodging it from her chest and putting her at risk of being controlled by a human. The boy who she saved though is different from anyone she has ever met and she starts to realize that there's no point in immortality if you're spending the whole time running. 

Okay this was the perfect mixture of K-Drama and like traditional YA fantasy. It was theatrical without being excessive. The characters both had their annoying quirks, but it wasn't something that weighed the story down too much and they were things that I could see as being genuine problems in the whole scheme of the universe. I was also kind of shocked by the plot twists at the end, so it wasn't as cliche and predictable as it could have been. 

I would recommend this for fans of urban fantasy and especially for fans of k-drama who can't handle sitting through entire k-dramas (specifically thinking of Oh My Ghost because this one has similar supernatural themes). Also if you love a nice coming-of-age type romance then this one would also be great for you it really hits all of the bases.
