Critics Review

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 *This spellbinding dive into the supernatural realms of South Korea seamlessly blends Korean mythology with contemporary urban fantasy… . [Sophie] Kim’s adult debut … marks her as a talent to watch. With its blend of romance, mystery, and supernatural intrigue, The God and the Gumiho is sure to enchant readers * Booklist *An action-filled contemporary fantasy based in Korean mythology, featuring morally gray characters and a little heat * Library Journal *An accomplished work of dark urban fantasy, and well worth reading * ParSec *
