 e Violent Delights"><em>These Violent Delights</em></a> by Chloe Gong:</p>
 \n<p style="padding-left: 30px\;">Perfect for fans of <em>The Last Magicia
 n</em> and <em>Serpent &amp\; Dove</em>\, this heart-stopping debut is an 
 imaginative <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> retelling set in 1920s Shanghai\, wi
 th rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River.</p>\n<p s
 tyle="padding-left: 30px\;">The year is 1926\, and Shanghai hums to the tu
 ne of debauchery.</p>\n<p style="padding-left: 30px\;">A blood feud betwee
 n two gangs runs the streets red\, leaving the city helpless in the grip o
 f chaos. At the heart of it all is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai\, a form
 er flapper who has returned to assume her role as the proud heir of the Sc
 arlet Gang--a network of criminals far above the law. Their only rivals in
  power are the White Flowers\, who have fought the Scarlets for generation
 s. And behind every move is their heir\, Roma Montagov\, Juliette's first 
 love...and first betrayal.</p>\n<p style="padding-left: 30px\;">But when g
 angsters on both sides show signs of instability culminating in clawing th
 eir own throats out\, the people start to whisper. Of a contagion\, a madn
 ess. Of a monster in the shadows. As the deaths stack up\, Juliette and Ro
 ma must set their guns--and grudges--aside and work together\, for if they
  can't stop this mayhem\, then there will be no city left for either to ru
 le.</p>\n<p>If you need help reserving a copy of the book\, please contact
