Foxy Tails by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Húlí is a nine-tailed fox and since he was a small child, he has been insulted, feared, persecuted and hunted, this is the only life he knows and it has become a life full of hiding in plain sight and keeping his head on his shoulders all while doing what he needs to in order to survive, even though he knows it will lead him into trouble. Xiăo Ying is a man who descends from a family of powerful healers and he has continued that tradition and become one himself, however, when he was only a young one, his entire family was wiped out in one day and ever since, he has held himself away from the world and live the life of a hermit while trying to find out exactly what happened.

One day, Húlí made a mistake which has led to his latest escape from the demon hunting hounds, albeit this time, he was betrayed by one of the few people he allowed to get close to him and now he is again, running for his life, however, when he sees a cottage ahead which looks empty, he takes a chance and flings himself through the door, only to find that he is not alone. Xiăo Ying is having yet another quiet night home alone, that is until a young man comes crashing through his front door and into his life, demanding and then pleading for him to close the door, he has no idea who he is, or why he is there, but he decides to help him. It is at this moment that both their lives are changed and despite the untoward circumstances, neither can forget the other when they part ways, that is until their paths cross again as healer and patient.

As the reality hits of their situation, they begin to get the know the other, albeit under untoward circumstances again, this is where they decide to embark on a journey together with others who join them along the way, however, when neither can deny the feelings for the other, love blossoms and blooms as they tread a path of truth, lies, secrets and revelations, but will they find the answers they are so desperately seeking, or will this path lead to darkness, pain and further betrayal? This is a charming tale of a group of solitary individuals coming together to form strong bonds and stronger alliances in this story of fate, romance and a future where the past is illuminated and the future obscured until the end.
