From the blurb;
'Kim Hani - the once-terrible gumiho known as the Scarlet Fox - spends her days working at a cafe and trying not to let a certain customer irk her.
'Seokga - a trickster god thrown from the heavens for his attempt at a coup - spends his days hunting demons and irking a particular gumiho.
'When a demon of darkness escapes the underworld, and the Scarlet Fox emerges from hiding before quickly vanishing, Seokga is offered a chance at redemption: kill them both, and his sins will be forgiven.
'But Hani is prepared to do anything to prevent Seokga from bringing her to justice. Anything, this is - except fall in love...'
Kim creates a grumpy, steadfast, handsome god in Seokga and a powerful, intelligant, beautiful gumiho in Hani, when put together they butt heads and their mutual hatred quickly begins to create sparks as they are forced to team up on a who-done-it cime chase thriller with plot twists and South Korean mytholigy laced throughout.
A beautiful entry into the world of Kim's chracters The God and The Gumiho quickly sucks readers in and will leave them desperate for more.
Gorgeously written The God and The Gumiho is a delightful slow-burn romance with huge stakes that paints a picture of an underworld to our own that brings to life legends and myths. All of our cast of characters are fully rounded and draw readers into a guess who as we try to figure out who the villan is in this complex who-done-it plot line which will force our chracters closer together.
Building in intensity with every chapter the explosive conclusion to The God and The Gumiho cements Kim's writting talent while leaving readers eager for the next installment.
