Curse of the Nine-Tailed Fox: a New Adult Japanese Fantasy by Adelaide Rowan
5.0
An orphaned street thief and outcast Kitsune is shunned by all and labelled as cursed due to his unique appearance, and finds himself captured and faced with death after stealing from a Goddess.
When fate intervenes he is forced to go on a dangerous quest alongside Hikaru - an arrogant warrior loyal to the Goddess.
They must travel to the Underworld, face monsters, confront the Gods, and try to work together despite wanting to kill each other.
This was a beautifully written and unique fantasy adventure based on Japanese mythology with an anime vibe.
It features a slow burn enemy/ally/lover MM romance, where both are unaware of/or reluctant to admit their growing feelings, and both have their own traumas to face.
It also includes themes of hidden identity, found family, chosen one and discovering powers.
This story had action, adventure, drama, some sweet revelations, and some real tear-jerker moments. You can't help but feel for the main characters and empathise with all their damaged souls.
With sacrifice, betrayals, loss and empowerment, it's a dark journey and a story of unexpected love and the power of friendship.
(Also love the stunning book cover)
