Kitsune Tales: Two Short Stories by Emily Kay SingerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was perfectly happy to read and love whatever story I found in this book. But . . . it is harder to do so when the main character, the female fox spirit, spent so much time rubbing up against men. Annoying, that.
so, 2 stories. Story 1 saw the kitsune forced to work a case by herself. That god of love guy could help her but thinks she needs to do it on her own. She's literally shaking in fear and panic at the idea. But eventually goes to work. To hunt down the magical cat that snuck over from that parallel magic world.
admittly an interesting story. My problem is that I didn't like any of the characters.
Story 2 sees kitsune on vacation (by the way, kitsune's name is Yuri). First day at that. She's on the beach in barely there swimsuit. Loving the looks she is getting. From men. Suddenly her phone rings. The phone that is off. She answers. It's that god of love guy warning that there is a siren in the area. - A warning not a call to work/action.
Displaying an opposite personality than in the previous story - where she was literally shaking in fear - here she, despite being told to stay clear, dives into action.
The mini gecko dragon was neat. Siren less so. Kitsuns still an annoying character. And there a still stronf vibes of heterosexual tension - despite both siren and fox being female.
One of the reasons kitsune dives in is because sirens feed on me & parallel world magic. And kitsune is female & has earth magic.
kitsune tracks down siren. Who 1) is molesting a woman and 2) easily beats up fox.
A mini dragon now enters the picture and helps kitsune.
too bad there isn't a third story. Because book was going certain direction 1st story - news kitsune has humped male god of lovw. 2) story has female/female action that mostly doesn't involve kitsune though there was a 'kissed a girl & like it' moment. 3rd story would probably have had kitsune on side of women love.
