THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
''Deliciously dark'' NATASHA NGAN
''Heady, smart and vicious'' TESSA GRATTON
The heartstopping and unputdownable sequel to These Violent Delights, a searingly romantic fantasy retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 1920s Shanghai.
SHANGHAI, 1927: Juliette Cai is on the warpath. One wrong move, and her cousin will take her place as the Scarlet Gang''s heir. The only way to protect Roma, and herself, is to let the boy she loves believe she murdered his best friend in cold blood.
Roma is still reeling from Marshall''s death, and his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him. Roma blames himself for letting Juliette into his life, and he''s determined to set things right - even if that means killing the girl he hates and loves with equal measure.
Then a new monstrous danger emerges in the city. Shanghai is at boiling point: the Nationalists are marching in, whispers of civil war are brewing, and gangster rule faces complete annihilation. Roma and Juliette must put aside their differences to combat monsters and politics, but they aren''t prepared for the biggest threat of all: protecting their hearts from each other.
