Rachel Young | 3 comments So far I have only finished Scarlet Lies It was a light-hearted rom-com set in Samoa, although it did briefly tough on some serious topics. It was still an easy, fun read though.

I will likely finish Our Violent Ends today. Five Stars! It is so good! It's the sequel to These Violent Delights, and it's even better than the first one. Star-crossed lovers Roma Montagov and Juliette Cai are the heirs of rival gangs in 1920s Shanghai. (Oh yeah, and there are also monsters!)
