 Jihoon chugs his respect women juice and for that he's the only YA love interest we're ever going to respect in this house. Nothing but love for our dumbass.

People who say Wicked Fox feels like a kdrama are pretty much right on the nose. It definitely reminds me of some of the dramas I grew up with - and I definitely started figuring out who'd they cast for a tv adaptation. I think a lot of people will say that they've read this story before - and maybe they have - but it's full of tropes that are seen more in white authors and I'm willing to enjoy an own voices author having her heyday in candy coated fluff on her own terms, you know?

The thing that surprises me most is this really feels like the first two novels and not just the one. We've got two big climaxes and I'm a little confused. The pacing didn't bother me since I often like to binge a series but I wonder if it would have done better as two smaller books.

I think anyone who likes their paranormal romances to be a bit less grimdark is probably going to enjoy this.
