Our Violent Ends: #1 New York Times Bestseller! (These Violent Delights)

Product Information

Fantasy violence from a pandemic illness, spread by large insects, that makes people tear their own throats out. Common sense forgot to review in the sex/romance section that there is kissing between characters of the same sex.

Juliette and Roma frequently refer to “the city” personified as if the place is what causes violence and not people’s actions.

So Roma must now somehow reconcile the fact that the woman he loves is responsible for the death of his cousin. Shanghai is already at a boiling point: The Nationalists are marching in, whispers of civil war brew louder every day, and gangster rule faces complete annihilation. If you were Juliette’s or Roma’s friend and they told you how they felt about each other, how would you react?

Kathleen deserved a better explanation, deserved to know why the city was saying Juliette had shot Marshall Seo point-blank when she had once been so friendly with him, why Roma Montagov was dropping flowers everywhere he went in mockery of the feud’s victims when he had once been so gentle with Juliette. Up for grabs, we are giving away ONE (1) finished copy of These Violent Delights and ONE (1) finished copy of Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong.Personally, I’d have liked to see more emphasis on the traitor storyline and less on the main characters’ relationship to the political side of things. We also get to know more about side characters: Marshall, Ben, Alisa, and of course Juliette’s formidable cousins Kathleen and Rosalind. One of the greatest strengths of Our Violent Ends is the way it balances a heavier, meatier plot with character development.
