These Violent Delights
Chloe Gong · 2 novels · 2020–2021
Chloe Gong's duology transplants Romeo and Juliet to 1926 Shanghai, where Juliette Cai, heir to the Scarlet Gang, and her estranged first love Roma Montagov, of the rival White Flowers, must set aside their families' blood feud to face a supernatural plague of madness spreading through the city's gangs. These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends push the star-crossed pair toward a resolution neither their families nor the city's warring forces will make easy.
