These Violent Delights (These Violent Delights, #1)

Chloe Gong

The year is 1926, and Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery. A blood feud between two gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city helpless in the grip of chaos. At the heart of it all is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, a former flapper who has returned to assume her role as the proud heir of the Scarlet Gang—a network of criminals far above the law. Their only rivals in power are the White Flowers, who have fought the Scarlets for generations. And behind every move is their heir, Roma Montagov, Juliette’s first love…and first betrayal. But when gangsters on both sides show signs of instability culminating in clawing their own throats out, the people start to whisper. Of a contagion, a madness. Of a monster in the shadows. As the deaths stack up, Juliette and Roma must set their guns—and grudges—aside and work together, for if they can’t stop this mayhem, then there will be no city left for either to rule. Perfect for fans of The Last Magician and Descendant of the Crane, this heart-stopping debut is an imaginative Romeo and Juliet retelling set in 1920s Shanghai, with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River.

Oh, how I loved this book. I don't have much to say about it really (as you can tell from my lack of posts) but I was so enthralled in it, it was hard to put down. I love it so much. I'm in tears right now, the epilogue broke me. I can't wait for the movie to be out, I know I'll cry. It was so sad. I love Haymitch so much, always have, but this just makes me care about him so much more as a character. Sure he's a dick at times, but its always for a reason, and that reason often has something to do with protecting others or preventing more harm being done to the world. I loved it so much. 10/10, would read again.
