About this listen
An enemy on her tails, an innocent at her side, and a dangerous power within her that could destroy them all. Jayci Lee melds Korean folklore with modern Americana in this fiery new series.
Sunny Cho aspires to be the dullest, least interesting person in any given room, which can be challenging for a nine-tailed fox spirit. So she drifts from city to city—staying clear of any and all attachment—and keeps her fox buried deep inside her. It is better this way. She would rather live as half of herself than risk losing control of her terrible powers.
Ethan Lee, a friend she left behind eight years ago, is a brilliant and distractingly hot PI. When he tracks her down and asks her to help him find his brother’s murderer, Sunny knows her uneventful life is about to be turned upside down.
Traversing the mortal realm and the world of gods, Sunny and Ethan discover their quest is much more dire than mere vengeance, and their friendship might be…more. An ancient evil is stirring, and Sunny is faced with an impossible choice: save the worlds from annihilation or claim the love fated by the heavens.

“Urban-fantasy readers will adore the smart-mouthed, sword-wielding fox spirit at the heart of this fast-paced tale full of magic, secrets, and romance.” —Booklist, Starred Review
“An absolute thrill ride! Nine Tailed is brimming with action, humor, and smoldering tension. Lee spins a fantastically original tale filled with cool magic and swoony romance you don’t want to miss.” —Juliette Cross, bestselling author of the Stay a Spell series
“Fast paced, heartwarming, and heartbreaking—my new fave fantasy romance! Supernatural meets K-drama vibes, immigrant globe-trotting immortals, and an epic battle between destiny and fate. Nine Tailed stole my heart with an explosion of fireworks and a wonderfully compelling gumiho. A stellar start to what promises to be a swoon-worthy series. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one!” —A. Y. Chao, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Shanghai Immortal

Introduction to Koream Folklore
Nine Tailed follows protagonist Sunny; a 130 year old Gumiho (a Nine Tailed Fox) who has been successfully suppressing her magic and living amongst humans in America. That is, until her disguise is dismantled when the brother of her friend Ethan is found murdered.
Quickly, it becomes evident that the murder has been undertaken by someone not belonging to the world of mortals, resulting in an adventure of life and death into the four kingdoms of Korean gods and immortals.
Being new to Korean folklore, I really enjoyed the introduction to the ancient stories, mythology, magical creatures, and gods. And while the story arc often had me wondering where this story was going, I did enjoy the journey and cast of characters introduced along the way.
What I did struggle with was the romance element of the story. I will be honest, I'm not a fan of push-pull type romances in general, but I tend to think that a 130 year old "being" would be a little more emotionally mature than the woman we find in this story. Besides a racy sex scene, which gained a few eye rolls from myself, I felt like I was inside the head of a young teen. Ignoring this element of the story, this was an enjoyable read.
This book would be suited to readers of fantasy romance and people who enjoyed the Twilight series.
