Aunt Tigress was so different from what I had anticipated, and it did not disappoint! I had a hard time putting it down and was quite impressed by how the author was able to craft vague notions together as the story became more complex. I also thought the ending and the “twist” was compelling and unexpected. I can’t wait to read Emily Yu-Xuan Qin puts out next!
Aunt Tigress follows Tam, a tiger in human skin, as she navigates college, love, and the supernatural world. When she finds out her mysterious aunt has died, things take a turn. Please read if you enjoy the following:
