Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. If you love Kdramas and all things Korean mythology then this book is for you! I absolutely love the different tropes (enemies to lovers, forced proximity, one bed) in this story and the banter between Seokga and Hani. I was immediately sucked into the world of New Sinsi and couldn’t help but fall in love with the characters. Sophie Kim had me on the edge of my seat unexpectedly through the mystery and crimes happening in the city which I loved watching Seokga and Hani work together on to solve. 

As fun as majority of this book was, I did not expect the ending and how heartbreaking it was, but I’m definitely excited for the next installment to this series. The God and the Gumiho comes out tomorrow on June 4th, make sure to read this gem of a fantasy!
