They'll do anything to outsmart each other. Anything, except fall in love.
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, even trick her way into his investigation. Anything, that is - except fall in love . . .Korean folklore, murder mystery, and a quirky love/hate story combine in this highly entertaining novel. The God and the Gumiho is one of a kind! Juliet Marillier, author of the Sevenwaters series and the Blackthorn & Grim series
The tastiest treat for fantasy lovers . . . Following the perfect drama between two sneaky immortals, The God and the Gumiho glows with its supernatural antics and sumptuous world Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights
Enchanting fantasy . . . With an intoxicating mix of action, mystery, and deliciously angsty romance, this reads like the most bingeable K-drama Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A trope that I really am not a fan of - enemies to lovers - snuck in like a tricksy gumiho and got me this time. These protagonists are just brilliant, fully realised and absolutely capturing my jaded old reader's heart. I loved every page The Fantasy Hive
