Thank you NetGalley for giving me an Advanced Readers Copy for my honest review. 

This was so fun, we have familiar characters and new characters back from book one and it was nice to see familiar faces amongst the new. 

The humor amongst the very serious themes was elite and I was cackling more often than not. 

I wish the mystery wasn’t as predictable but I felt it wrapped up the duology really well and I can’t wait to read more from Sophie Kim!

This was such a fun and easy-to-binge duology! In the time it took me to read book one and then pick up this one, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Sophie Kim's writing and dialogue, so I'm adding it here so I hopefully don't forget again! I will absolutely be picking up whatever Sophie Kim writes next!

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC.
This was an enjoyable and satisfying sequel to the God and the Gumiho, just as easy to read and hard to put down, with romance that is once again sweet and a little spicy and perfectly tension- and longing-filled. I remembered the first book fairly well but forgot a few details, and that was not a problem reading this book. Generally the book reminded me of what I needed to know if I needed. I found this book reminiscent of some Percy Jackson books in a fun way for adult readers. I really enjoyed the additional aspects of Korean mythology explored in this book.

ok so yeah I didn't like this as much as the first book and it took me probably a third of the book to even begin to get into it? but then I was having fun. I think this cast of characters were less fun for me than the first, and I'm personally less than enthused abt a fake/malicious therapist. the dad thing was a bit underwhelming really. might still read the next when it comes out, I'll see i guess
