I loved it!

Cleo - September 2021

I LOVE THIS BOOK. It's fast paced and gets straight into it which is great. I live the main characters. ENEMIES TO LOVERS VIBES. The main character has relatable moments which I find great. The plot is well written and planned out. This book is easy to follow which I'm surprised about. So many moments made me gasp, cheer, and cry. It's such a fun book to read.
A kin to Romeo and Juliet but set in bustling 1920's Shanghai

Clay- Masterton Paper Plus - February 2021

Chloe is Chinese-born and resides in Auckland New Zealand, she’s young in her early twenties and has burst onto the New York bestselling list with her debut novel: “These Violent Delights is the start of a fresh retelling of the much loved play Romeo and Juliet, set now in bustling 1920s Shanghai. However, Gong has already shown by this book that her retelling will be like nothing before. Adding to the staple rivalling families and cliché forbidden lovers, Gong mixes in the threats of a mysterious monster roaming the city, a demonic disease forcing the unfortunate to tear out their throats, and the rising Communist Party puppeteering a mutiny against the ruling gangs. Gong’s unique setting paired with her graphic writing drags you straight into this ambient novel which is perfect for fans of the ‘Conquerors Saga’ or any lover of Shakespeare.”
