Our Violent Ends

This gripping and intensely passionate follow-up to These Violent Delights, dubbed "deliciously dark" by New York Times bestselling author Natasha Ngan, takes place in Shanghai during a siege.

In 1927, Shanghai is on the verge of a revolution.

Juliette has been a girl on the warpath since she gave up her romance with Roma in order to shield him from the blood conflict. If she makes a mistake, her cousin will take her position as the Scarlet Gang's successor. Getting the guy she loves to want her dead for killing his closest buddy in cold blood is the only way to spare him from the Scarlets' vengeance. Juliette's rejection could hurt less if she were really guilty of the crime Roma feels she did.

Roma is still in shock at Marshall's passing, and he seldom speaks to his cousin Benedikt. Roma is determined to make things right, even if it means murdering the girl he loves and hates equally, since he knows it's his responsibility for allowing the vicious Juliette back into his life.

Then, a brand-new, terrifying menace surfaces in the city. Despite their mutual secrets keeping them apart, Juliette needs Roma's help to finally put a stop to this threat. Shanghai is already at a breaking point: gangster control risks total destruction, the Nationalists are moving in, and civil war rumblings are becoming louder by the day. To fight politics and monsters, Roma and Juliette must set aside their differences, but they are unprepared for the greatest challenge of all: defending their hearts from one another.
