Foxy Tails by Natalina Reis – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
Foxy Tails by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Foxy Tails is a MM paranormal romance between a shapeshifting fox and a healer that meet quite accidentally. Huli is a nine-tailed fox that lives in a world that hunts him because they believe he is a demon. The story starts out action packed with the fox fleeing from hunters after trying to seduce the wrong person. The Fox does not always think clearly when he needs to feed, and this often leads to trouble for him. He tries to seek shelter in a home that he thought was unoccupied but quickly learns that someone does indeed live there. The home he sought shelter in belongs to Xiao Ying who is a divine healer. The two find a connection in that they both lead lives that are lonely and feel an attraction towards one another.
This was a fun and engaging story, and I liked how the story started out with the way in which Huli and Xiao Ying first meet. The introduction was quite accidental and unexpected but obviously fate intervened to bring them together. The romance takes a bit to get started, which in all honesty I enjoyed. It was not instant chemistry but more of a slow burning romance and a relationship that built over time. I found this to be refreshing and a bit more believable. Huli was as to be expected as a fox because he was sly, clever and did not always think before acting on impulse. Xiao Ying is a bit quiet and reserved but it is because he is wise and perceptive. The two characters brought out the best in one another and made a perfect couple. This book was full of action, suspense, intrigue, adventure, danger, magic, and romance.
