These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong

medium-paced

5.0

A thrilling Romeo and Juliet retelling set in 1920s Shanghai. Gong's vivid storytelling immerses readers in a world of rival gangs and mysterious monsters. With complex protagonists and a gripping plot, this book captivates from start to finish. The beautifully crafted romance between Roma and Juliette adds depth to an already engrossing tale. A must-read that leaves you eager for the sequel. 

While the story itself is captivating, the audiobook narration falls short. The monotonous delivery detracts from Gong's rich storytelling. For the best experience, opt for the physical book to fully immerse yourself in this thrilling tale.
