Review
The Fox and
the Devil is a really hard novel to rate and pin down. I'd say truly it's a
3.75 so Im bumping it up to a 4 here. It's a unique novel with an interesting
mystery and premise, but it's also very dry and dull at times. Despite that, I
love the writing style. Lucy Undying, though, this is not.
In The Fox
and the Devil Anneke Van Helsing chases down the woman responsible for a rash
of insidious suicides all over Europe. As she gets closer to the mysterious
woman she becomes consumed by the obsessive chase, much to the detriment of
those around her.
It's an
intriguing premise, the romance was engaging but the book as a whole is
extremely slow. There are large swaths of time where nothing really seems to
happen. At Times I felt like I was slogging through the novel. That being said,
again it's well written, I just found the pacing off. That being said, the
ending was satisfying, and I felt a sense of accomplishment finishing this
novel.
If you like sapphic supernatural mysteries, this is definitely worth your time, but if those aren't your jam, you may want to pass on this novel, which, although good, really makes you work for it.
