Red Fox by Karina Halle

4.0

This book was SO much better than the first! It took place almost entirely on the shoot of their second webisode and the action and mystery completely drew me in. I’m feeling more optimistic for the series, and excited to move on to the third instalment.

The skinwalkers really threw everything at our leading couple! And for some reason almost NONE of it was caught on film. I don’t know why part annoyed me so much. Instead of investing in a better camera or paranormal gear, maybe get a go-pro and never turn it off. That way all the insane paranormal stuff that happens to them can be useful for their series!

I still have a lot of complicated feelings about Perry and Dex. Perry pretty much decides that Dex is the love of her life (after knowing him a month), and their relationship deepens. Trust is formed, and they trauma bond through the insanity that’s unfolding around them.

I like Dex a lot more after finishing Red Fox, but that’s due mostly to co-reading the corresponding chapters in The Dex Files. Understanding what’s going on in Dex’s head (especially when he’s acting asshole-ish or aloof in the main series) helps me feel more connected to him.

I’m leaving Red Fox liking our leading couple a lot more but knowing they both need to grow and mature a lot before they are able to be together!

I’m settling at a 4/5⭐️ for this one! I was between 3.5 and 4, but the action is really what put it over the edge!
