See allThis book is a slow burn, but if you can hang in there it is SO worth it.
This is ultimately a story about revenge. It's told from dual perspectives, one is a young female fox shifter and the other is an older man that is working as an investigator. Since this is not a plot-driven story, you really get to know these two characters and everyone they meet along the way.
It is such a beautiful story based on Asian mythology and I'm glad I stuck with it.
So, I heard a lot of great things about this book. From people much younger than me. Who really like cutesy-cliche-love stories. And it was exactly that. Cutesy. Cliche. And some french kissing in France.
It's not a bad story, it's just that it is hard for me to keep reading something that is SO INSANELY PREDICTABLE.
Overall, it was good writing and gave me a couple of chuckles but I definitely wouldn't read it again.
I honestly don't know what to think about this book. I've never had such a hard time assigning a star rating before.
I disliked this book until about the halfway point. After that, I still wasn't crazy about it but I was pretty invested in Marianne and Connell. Like I couldn't help rooting for them even though they made me nuts.
At the end I just wanted to chuck the book across the room.
There is something to be said for being this angry at a book, though. I'm obviously too invested in it to say that the book was simply not good. As for all the 5 star ratings go - I just don't get it. I feel like I'm missing something big here.
