Well dang, this sequel just kicked everything into high gear, didn't it?
There will probably be spoilers of These Violent Delights so beware.
The end of These Violent Delights had everything in tatters. Roma & Juliette thought they had taken care of the monster only to find that more were being threatened to release. On top of that, Juliette killed one of Roma's best friends and there's just no going back from that. So the beginning of this book has everyone fractured and trying to get back to "no ...more

THE ENDING!!! This was a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars for me! Honestly, the only reason I couldn't give it the 5 is because of my own personal likes and dislikes regarding what I wanted in tying up the end of the book.

what an intricate weaving of true-life events in 1920's Shanghai, Communists and Nationalists and the gang culture, with a sweeping love story reminiscent of the classic Romeo and Juliet tale.
We love Juliette in all her cold calculations, covering a marshmallow heart. we love Roma, strong and ruthless, devoted to his secret and forbidden love. And a true Plague on their Houses, with the monsters and their magical infection.
All the secondary characters are delightful, Marshall, Benedikt, Rosali ...more
