Enemies To Lovers

This is the 57th box for FairyLoot and was announced 2nd October 2020.

*This entire theme is inspired by one of our favourite tropes ever. We love a good enemies to lovers story − the slower the burn the better! It leaves so much room for angst and tension when the main characters begin as enemies and cannot stand each other (or better yet, if they are trying to kill each other…) but also can’t help their growing attraction and feelings.*

## Book

The book is These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong, this is both their first feature in a FairyLoot box. The book was published 17th November 2020.

##### Blurb

The year is 1926, and Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery.

A blood feud between two gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city helpless in the grip of chaos. At the heart of it all is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, a former flapper who has returned to assume her role as the proud heir of the Scarlet Gang—a network of criminals far above the law. Their only rivals in power are the White Flowers, who have fought the Scarlets for generations. And behind every move is their heir, Roma Montagov, Juliette’s first love…and first betrayal.

But when gangsters on both sides show signs of instability culminating in clawing their own throats out, the people start to whisper. Of a contagion, a madness. Of a monster in the shadows. As the deaths stack up, Juliette and Roma 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 rule.

**Perfect for fans of *The Last Magician* and *Descendant of the Crane*, this heart-stopping debut is an imaginative *Romeo and Juliet* retelling set in 1920s Shanghai, with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River.**
