Wicked Fox

Audiobook narrator Emily Woo Zeller voices an array of characters both magical and mundane in this romantic urban fantasy, set in contemporary Seoul. Gu Miyoung appears human, but she's actually a GUMIHO, an immortal nine-tailed fox who feeds on the life force of men. Though her exacting mother cautions her to keep a low profile, Miyoung reveals herself when she rescues a human classmate from a goblin attack, kicking off a chain reaction that has life-changing consequences. Although Zeller's smooth tone and even pacing underscore the occasional lulls in the story, she gets to show off her emotive range during bursts of action and high-stakes drama. Character voices are subtle yet distinct throughout this angsty, atmospheric audiobook. R.A.H. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
