If Chloe Gong has 1000 fans then I am one of them. If Chloe Gong has 1 fan then it is me. I Chloe Gong has no fans then I am dead.

I really appreciated a deeper insight into Rosalind, the reasons for her actions in These Violent Delights and the way she thinks she has to redeem herself after. 

Sometimes it was hard to keep up with code names and loyalties, but that was exactly how it was back then!
And after that epilogue I don’t know what to think about Phoebe.

As much as I love Roma and Juliette, in this book I felt that there were a lot more moments of chemistry between Rosalind and Orion, though possibly because in this book we got to see them meet and fall for one another despite their mistrust, whereas Roma and Juliette were already in love. 

I was so scared I wouldn’t enjoy this book as much as the These Violent Delights duology, but Chloe Gong goes above and beyond every time. I love the Secret Shanghai secrets. I love every moment and every character that comes into play.
