Roma is stunned at Marshall\u2019s death and he is out for revenge. Juliette will not spill any secrets in order to protect the people she cares about most. A new monster now threatens the city and Roma and Juliette must again team up to try and save Shanghai.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had really enjoyed Chloe Gong\u2019s retelling of Romeo and Juliet in <em>Our Violent Delights<\/em> and was very excited to see how she would continue their story in <em>Our Violent Ends<\/em>. This book did not disappoint. I actually enjoyed it more than the first because our characters were well-established and we could jump right into the drama and action. I didn\u2019t pick this up immediately after finishing its predecessor, but as I remember both, I found <em>Our Violent Ends<\/em> to have more adventure throughout. This was a fast-paced book that kept me turning the pages. There was a lot to follow and I did have to re-read some parts and take mental notes of everything going on to make sure I didn\u2019t get lost in the story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went into <em>Our Violent Ends<\/em> reminding myself that I think this duology is more sci-fi than fantasy. Knowing that made it more enjoyable. Even with monsters and traitors, I was more invested in Roma and Juliette and how they would end up saving Shanghai. The sci-fi elements added suspense and a common enemy, but it wasn\u2019t my main focus for this book. While Roma and Juliette are still fiercely independent characters, we finally get to have some romance! I was wondering how their relationship would develop since this was such a unique and creative retelling. I was pleasantly surprised with their relationship development and felt there was enough tension and build-up to make their love story satisfactory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like with <em>Our Violent Delights<\/em>, I was very impressed with this book. As an extension of a retelling, I had no expectations for where the story would go. I loved how Gong remained true to the Romeo and Juliet plot while making the characters more complex and relatable. Overall this was a fantastic end to a thrilling story. It offered representation in classical literature that I hadn\u2019t had before and showed how with a little imagination, characters could have many more layers of depth to them than previously written.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5\/5 stars What are you willing to do for love?
