'I have NO WORDS!!! I'M REELING!!!! THIS BOOK RUINED ME FOR ANY OTHERS! SEOKGA AND HANI JUST STOLE MY HEART AND LEFT! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW??????' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader Review
'Oh my god this book just blew out all my expectations. I wasn't expecting the romance, which was INCREDIBLE. Hate to love, written in such a fantastic way. I loved the juxtaposition between the grump god and the annoying and hyper gumiho. One of my favourite books this year so far. I NEED more!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader Review
In this delightfully romantic Korean contemporary fantasy, a fallen trickster god must pair up with a coffee-slinging, shapeshifting fox to track down a demon of darkness before it devours the mortal world.
They'll do anything to outsmart each other. Anything, except fall in love.
Kim Hani - the once-terrible gumiho known as the Scarlet Fox - spends her days working at a café and trying not to let a certain customer irk her.
Seokga - a trickster god thrown from the heavens for his attempt at a coup - spends his days hunting demons and irking a particular gumiho.
When a demon of darkness escapes the underworld, and the Scarlet Fox emerges from hiding before quickly vanishing, Seokga is offered a chance at redemption: kill them both, and his sins will be forgiven.
But Hani is prepared to do anything to prevent Seokga from bringing her to justice, even trick her way into his investigation. Anything, that is - except fall in love . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An infamous gumiho, a Korean nine-tailed fox spirit, partners with a disgraced god in this enchanting fantasy from Kim (Reign of the Talon). In 1888, gumiho Kim Hani earns her title as the Scarlet Fox after greedily consuming the souls of 500 men. Now, over a hundred years later, Hani has retired and hides out from her past life by working as a barista, begrudgingly serving coffee to condescending customers like Detective Seokga, the fallen god of trickery. When two men attack Hani one night, she gives in to her killing instincts and brings their livers to her young gumiho coworker, Somi, as a gift. Soon after, Detective Seokga identifies the murders as the Scarlet Fox's work, and Hani offers to assist in the investigation to ward him off her scent. Meanwhile, Seokga's brother, the heavenly emperor, offers him a deal—kill the Scarlet Fox and the escaped demon that has been brutally murdering citizens, and he will reinstate Seokga's position and powers. Little does Seokga know that one of his targets is beside him—and with each passing day, he finds himself falling for her. With an intoxicating mix of action, mystery, and deliciously angsty romance, this reads like the most bingeable K-drama. Readers will be riveted.
