説明
As violence spills into the streets, igniting old resentments and deep-seated rivalries, the stakes are raised higher than ever. This is not just a battle for supremacy; it’s a fight for survival in a world where betrayal lurks in every shadow. The characters must navigate treacherous alliances and difficult choices that challenge their notions of honor and love.
In a tale filled with darkly poetic moments, the protagonists grapple with the weight of expectation while being drawn irresistibly toward one another. Their journey sheds light on themes of identity, legacy, and the haunting impact of history—one that reverberates through the glimmering nightlife of Shanghai.
As danger escalates and relationships are tested, they will discover that even in a world rife with violence, the heart has a way of forging its own path, oftentimes leading them to a future that demands courage and sacrifice. Their story is one of passion and peril, where love and loyalty intersect in a dramatic showdown that neither of them could have anticipated.

-> 3.5 starsI have had this book on my physical TBR for quite some time. I am an avid YA reader and lover of fantasy so I was excited to read this (my TBR is out of control okay).However, I almost DNF'd this book at page 100. I was so bored. I normally love any paced books, fast or slow, no issue, however it was slow and nooooothing was happening. I pushed through though, I knew I would like this, and thankfully the rest of the book made up for it.The plot finally picks up and we have a great story to read. I love the world building (for the most part) of this book, once the plot picked up I was heavily interested, and the FMC instinct to shoot first, ask questions second, was a personal favourite.The romance didn't quite do it for me, but I think that is just because it felt a little copy paste from other fantasies so more is a me problem. The world building, while beautiful, was too fluffed out, we got long dragged out descriptions of things that just seemed far too extra for this story, easily could of cut down the word count on this book.The characters felt a lil 2d sometimes with some character decisions feeling very "15yr old makes dumb choice" as opposed to trained gang members.I shall be continuing this and hoping book 2 rectifies some of my issues in book 1, however I still did have a good time.-> 3.5 stars
I love this book! I was so excited everytime I caught a Romeo and Juliette reference and I love that it's set in 1920s Shanghai and the blends of different cultures. AND THAT CLIFFHANGER... I'm definitely going to have to pick up the second book soon! ❤
