The God and the Gumiho the witty, romantic contemporary fantasy that reads like a K-drama

Seokga, the coffee addict

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

The fallen trickster god and coffee addict Seokga is trying to get reinstated as a god, but has to kill a powerful demon and the Scarlet Fox to achieve his goal. The gumiho Hani does everything in her power to prevent him from finding out her real identity by supporting him in his investigations as his assistant. Sophie Kims romantic mystery - inspired by Korean myths - is a fun read with lots of banter, demon hunting and a grumpy (ex-)god I loved the moment he first appeared.

A Sharp-Tongued Dance Between God and Fox

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

"The God and the Gumiho" is an enchanting blend of myth, wit, and slow-burning tension. Sophie Kim crafts a world where immortals hide behind café counters and ancient grudges simmer beneath playful banter. Hani, the infamous Scarlet Fox with a bloodstained past, is a fiercely independent heroine—cunning, guarded, and far more vulnerable than she would ever admit. Seokga, the fallen trickster god, is arrogant, charming, and deliciously unpredictable. Their dynamic is electric: full of sharp dialogue, reluctant alliances, and the kind of tension that feels both dangerous and inevitable. While the beginning introduces a wealth of mythological elements that may take a moment to settle into, the story soon finds its rhythm. What follows is a fast-paced tale of demons, divine politics, and emotions neither protagonist is prepared to face. Romantic without being overly sweet, humorous without losing its emotional weight, this novel offers a vibrant start to a duology that promises even greater depths to come. A captivating read for anyone who enjoys myth-infused fantasy with bite and heart.
