Hi everyone, how you doing? Hope you’re doing amazing. On this beautiful day I’ll bring a book review of “Foul is Fair” by Hannah Capin a retelling of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Macbeth”. In this one we follow a young woman, Jade, who’s seeking revenge against a group of boys who in a party drugged her and committed sexual assault on her.

Jade and her three friends come out with a plan, use the purest of them all, the one did not attend the party and take each and every single one of the boys who have committed a crime against any girl. Slowly Jade infiltraste into the group of friends and the new school, fulfilling her revenge.

This book was amazingly writing, its prose reminisced Shakespeare’s. The story was a smart, powerful story filled with such a female power and strength. Seeing how with each page Jade and her friends gather together to show boys and men that there’s no way they’re gonna get away with hurting, damaging people with no consequence.

This books is brutal and doesn’t shy away of its repercussions and how men uses their privilages and abuse their power against all. But also that women are not damsels and they have a fight in them to reckon with.

This book is such a masterpiece and if you like feminist stories this book is for you.

“For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” - Romeo and Juliet, Act V Scene 3 Our Violent Ends picks up a few months after the events of These Violent Delights. It’s the 2nd half of Chloe Gong’s thrilling retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Tensions are high in Shanghai as the Nationalists, Communists, and gangsters grapple with one another for control of the city. Roma and Juliette must work together once more to stop the five new monsters threatening their city. Sparks fly as they attempt to resist their feelings for one another. It all comes to head in an explosive ending that is far more noble for our star-crossed lovers than Shakespeare’s original ending. I absolutely loved this series! I really hope it gets a film or tv adaptation at some point because this series is so incredible and the characters are fantastic. I can’t wait to see what @thechloegong comes out with next! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💥 #ourviolentends #theseviolentdelights #chloegong #juliettecai #romamontagov #romaandjuliette #romeoandjuliet #starcrossedlovers #shakespeareretelling #read #reading #books #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CiGf0GIrmn7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Twelfth Night in the Regency Era Two of my favorite genre in one book--it’s almost too good to be true. True of Heart is a retelling of one of Shakespeare’s comedic plays, Twelfth Night. I wondered how the author would handle a woman dressing as a man. Without giving anything away, she did it brilliantly. Martha Keyes is an experienced author, and it shows. The pacing is tight. The story moves quickly. The motives are clear. Circumstances force logical choices. The tension is high. And it is just plain fun. True of Heart is a delightful roller coaster of emotion with a satisfying and hard-won conclusion. . . . . .

“In glittering Shanghai, a monster awakens…” Shanghai 1926: Juliette Cai, heiress to the Scarlet Gang, has returned from America. A mysterious madness is killing her people and those of the rival gang, the White Flowers. She must team up with White Flower heir and old flame Roma Montagov to stop the madness. These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong is a fantastic take on Romeo and Juliet. The story is gripping and the tension between Roma and Juliette is break-taking. It’s a fantastic slow burn that addresses important topics such as racism, colonialism and immigration. I absolutely loved this book and these characters! I can’t wait to start the sequel! 🌹🌼⚔️❤️‍🔥 🔥🔥🔥#theseviolentdelights #chloegong #juliettecai #romamontagov #scarletgang #whiteflowers #romaandjuliette #romeoandjuliet #shakespeareretelling #shakespeare #read #reading #books #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQJm-MPd8H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
