These Violent Delights

Wow, this book was something different! I've never read anything like this before and I really enjoyed it. I don't think I would've normally picked it up, but I got it in my Fairyloot box and I was so excited when I started reading it.

A story about two rival gangs, forbidden love and a monster that roams the streets of 1920 Shanghai, this book kept getting better and better. I really enjoyed all the information about Chinese culture, the whole vibe of the book and the fact that it's a Romeo and Juliet retelling (if the names Roma and Juliette didn't already make that very clear).

The plot twist were good, the pace of the book was good and it made me want to keep reading and reading after finishing chapter after chapter. The ending left me speechless and I hate the fact that I have to wait for the next book to come out, but I kind of loved that cliff-hanger.
