BREAKING. Her friends are grieving: Jihoon the loss of his beloved grandmother, and Miyoung the loss of her mother and her fox bead-her immortal gumiho soul. Somin, who is no stranger to loss, wants to help them pick up the pieces and move on with their lives, but neither seems to want her help. As Jihoon and Miyoung become more distant, Somin finds unexpected comfort in Junu, everyone's not-so-favorite dokkaebi.
Somin thought she knew who Junu was—an arrogant, self-serving con man-but the more she gets to know him, the more she finds Junu is sensitive, kindhearted, and giving. Most startling of all, he could also be exactly what she needs. For his part, Somin takes Junu's breath away. He wonders if she could ever love him and if he could deserve it. But before Somin and Junu can discover what's truly between them, the group of friends discovers the supernatural world isn't quite done with them.
Somin is seeing ghosts on the streets of Seoul, and Junu is visited by a reaper from his past. Turns out, Miyoung's lost fox bead has caused a tear between the world of the living and the world of the dead. The only way to repair the rift is to find Miyoung's bead or for Miyoung to pay with her life.
An electrifying, heart-stopping read, Dokkaebi: Vicious Spirits returns readers to the indelible world of Gumiho: Wicked Fox, where romance and danger abound.
