Books like Wicked Fox by Kat Cho
Gu Miyoung is a gumiho—a nine‑tailed fox who must devour men to survive—in modern Seoul, a city where few believe the old tales. After rescuing a boy named Jihoon from a goblin, Miyoung loses her fox bead, a key to her soul. Jihoon, who has seen her tails, is drawn to her despite the danger. As murderous forces close in, their uneasy friendship grows into romance. When a young shaman offers to restore Miyoung’s bead, she faces a fatal decision: remain immortal or accept a mortal life with Jihoon.
The story blends Korean folklore, low fantasy, and supernatural romance while exploring themes of identity, sacrifice, and love between mythological and human worlds.
