Last Violent Call by Chloe Gong

Last Violent CallLast Violent Call by Chloe Gong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved these two novellas with the reappearance of Roma and Juliette and tying Foul Lady Fortune with the original Chloe Gong books, The Violent Delights & Our Violent Ends! I can't wait to read the next book, Foul Heart Huntsman because the suspense is killing me about this dangerous chemical weapon that Orion's mother created---and how it manipulates people to follow commands, even killing themselves! I love the romance, horror, and sinister evil these characters fight! You will too!

Foul Lady Fortune by Chloe Gong

Foul Lady Fortune (Foul Lady Fortune, #1)Foul Lady Fortune by Chloe Gong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once again Chloe Gong has penned an absorbing part of history---1931 in Shanghai, and interwoven the story of 2 spies of the Nationalists (while also keeping relatives and friends of her first duology in the plot as well) who are tasked with posing as a married couple and to expose who is murdering people with a syringe to the elbow and WHY? But Rosalind and Orion have many secrets that they keep, but as they draw closer to each other and what is really happening, they find so many lies, conspiracies, and mystery upon mystery. I have many questions for the second book- Oliver? Phoebe? Dao Feng? Rosalind? The Hong Family?!? Spies? SuperHuman Chemical? Jiemin? Alisa? Silas?

Our Violent Ends (Our Violent Delights #2) by Chloe Gong

Our Violent Ends (These Violent Delights, #2)Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVED this 2nd book, and Chloe Gong kept the high crime, mystery and adventure pounding as Juliette guards a secret that could destroy her position as heir of the Scarlet gang---not that she wants to rule but she doesn't want her sick twisted cousin to bump her out. And by keeping this secret, Roma now hates her, wants to kill her and has changed. The monsters are still a threat but now the Communists and Nationalists also vie for Shanghai! The worldbuilding, the strong characters and the intense plot all combine for a thoroughly awesome story in a city that is becoming more and more dangerous and evil. What will happen to Roma and Juliette; YA readers will love this final book in These Violent Delights! A must read and highly recommended!
