Hello everyone! "Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, that is hosted by Breaking the Spine and the purpose of this event is that we spotlight upcoming releases of books that we are excited for! This will also tie into Wishful Ending's Can't Wait Wednesday post!
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Title: Wicked Fox
Author: Kat Cho
Expected Publication Date: June 25th, 2019
A fresh and addictive fantasy-romance set in modern-day Seoul.
Eighteen-year-old Gu Miyoung has a secret--she's a gumiho, a nine-tailed fox who must devour the energy of men in order to survive. Because so few believe in the old tales anymore, and with so many evil men no one will miss, the modern city of Seoul is the perfect place to hide and hunt.
But after feeding one full moon, Miyoung crosses paths with Jihoon, a human boy, being attacked by a goblin deep in the forest. Against her better judgment, she violates the rules of survival to rescue the boy, losing her fox bead--her gumiho soul--in the process.
Jihoon knows Miyoung is more than just a beautiful girl--he saw her nine tails the night she saved his life. His grandmother used to tell him stories of the gumiho, of their power and the danger they pose to humans. He's drawn to her anyway.
With murderous forces lurking in the background, Miyoung and Jihoon develop a tenuous friendship that blossoms into something more. But when a young shaman tries to reunite Miyoung with her bead, the consequences are disastrous . . . forcing Miyoung to choose between her immortal life and Jihoon's.
Wow! This reminds me so much of "Shadow of the Fox!" I can't wait to see if this romance can survive!

DeleteI was JUST thinking when I was reading the synopsis that it reminded me of Shadow of the Fox (which I recently read and loved!) :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome!

ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday Post
Thanks!
DeleteI can see why this reminds you of Shadow of the Fox. I hope this one will be good. I am adding it to my own wish list! Thank you for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for this one too. I've been seeing it all over Booktube.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious after reading that synopsis. And I'm always looking for another series and new author.
ReplyDeleteI like the cover. And a plot that is set in Seoul sounds very promising. But I have to read Shadow of the Fox first. Otherwise my TBR will start grumbling *lol*
ReplyDeleteCool!
DeleteI'm so excited for Wicked Fox. It was my pick a few weeks ago :)
