Having read THE KITSUNE by LILA DUBOIS. I can tell you it
was a heart-warming tale with just the right amount of
sensuality to keep the reader interested.
It is well written and fast paced with beautiful imagery.
The book starts out with a hook and just keeps reeling
you in. There is never a time where I started to loose
interest. It was fast paced and kept the readers attention
at all times. If you enjoy learning or reading about
Japanese legends and folklore you will defiantly enjoy this
book.
The story is about a young man who denies his heritage
and is in pain. A kitsune / a Japanese fox spirit is sent
to help him deal with his pain and the reader is along for
the ride.
As the story unfolds the reader sees the relationship
between the two main characters grow. We learn the how and
whys of what the young man has gone through in his life and
just why he is the way he his. You get to see the
importance of family and faith as well.
It was very interesting to see how the man dealt with the
things in his life from work to friends and lovers. As the
man is half Japanese and half American he has two heritages
to deal with.
Being half Chinese myself I very much related to what the
character went through but you do not have to be of
Oriental descent to enjoy this story. All the love and
magic in this story make it a beautiful read about being
true to one self.
All in all THE KITSUNE was well written and the scenes flowed
nicely, never a dull spot and the imagery was beautiful and
never overwhelming. A most enjoyable read
that makes me want to look and see what other stories this
author has written.
On the anniversary of Joe’s mother’s death he breaks his own
rules and has a one night stand with an exotic stranger.
Sakura is unlike any woman Joe’s ever met: smart, beautiful,
and very quirky. That’s because Sakura isn’t like any woman
he’s know before--she’s not human. Sakura’s a kitsune, a
mystical Japanese fox who can take on the form of a woman,
on a mission: help Joe discover his Japanese heritage and
make peace with his past. They didn’t say anything about
falling in love with him…
