Book description
π§ Audiobook Alert: These Violent Delights is pure, unadulterated magic. Chloe Gong's 1926 Shanghai isn't just a setting-it's a character, dripping with jazz, danger, and the sharp scent of betrayal. Juliette Cai (Scarlet Gang heir) and Roma Montagov (White Flowers heir) aren't just rivals; they're a wildfire of history, love, and the kind of rage that cracks concrete. And oh, the voices in this audiobook? Perfection. Juliette's sharp wit and Roma's quiet intensity leap from the page (or rather, the earbuds) with such raw, lived-in authenticity, you'll swear you're standing in a smoke-filled Shanghai speakeasy. π₯
The twist? A bloody contagion turns gang members against themselves-clawing throats out while whispering about a monster in the Huangpu River. Suddenly, the feud isn't just about power; it's about survival. And the chemistry? Chef's kiss. You'll be yelling at your headphones, "Just talk to each other!" as they navigate old wounds and a city on the brink. Gong masterfully twists Shakespeare into something fresh, violent, and utterly addictive-no dusty old ballroom here, just neon-lit chaos and razor-sharp dialogue that sings in audio. π
If you loved The Last Magician's intrigue or Descendant of the Crane's fierce heroines, this is your next obsession. The audiobook isn't just a listen-it's a vibe. You'll feel the Shanghai heat, the tension in every pause, the heartbeat of a city drowning in its own blood. Trust me: the narration (seriously, find this version) makes the rivalries feel personal, the romance electric, and the monster under the river real. You won't just hear this story-you'll live it. π§β¨
