This is an entertaining fantasy read. Also a great introduction to Korean folklore!

Gu Miyoung has a secret, she is a gumiho (a nine-tailed fox that feeds on human gi). While out one night in the forest, she encounters Jihoon being attacked by a dokkaiebi (a goblin) and as she saves his life, she loses something important to her survival in the process. The two develop a tentative relationship as she tries to correct her mistakes and save his life once again.

Told in alternating chapters, the reader really comes to understand the two characters. I really enjoyed the setting, as it plays a bit of a character role in the process. Fantasy is really hit or miss for me. But this was definitely a hit because of Miyoung. She is strong, smart, fearless.

Definitely recommend!
