I love seeing these two couples get their HEA and how their separate journeys years later inevitably bring them back together to solve the issues that happened at the end of Foul Lady Fortune. I’m excited to see how these characters are brought back to help Rosalind and Orion in the next book!

Another Chloe Gong review—who’s surprised? Last Violent Call is divided into two novellas: A Foul Thing and This Foul Murder. Together, the stories had their purpose and executed them in that quintessential Gong way. Only this time, readers are able to peer into the domestic livelihoods of Juliette and Roma, and Benedikt and Marshall. It’s been awhile since I read Our Violent Ends, and as a result, I felt a little removed from the characters. Still, I feel I was able to be thrown back into the knife-wielding, gun-toting hearts of these former Shanghai gangsters. The murder-mystery element of TFM was especially fun for my reading slump brain. All in all, I’m more than ready to pick up Foul Heart Huntsman and finish this captivating journey that has spanned years for me through Secret Shanghai.

This was surprisingly cozy and lighthearted, despite all of the dark topics and content warnings. Juliette and Roma are no longer the same characters as they were in the These Violent Delights duology, but I'm glad they're living the lives they deserve, as well as Benedikt and Marshall. The banter is hilarious.

Favorite Quote:
"Hey," Juliette said. The word was muffled because she hadn't bothered drawing away first.
"Hmm?"
"We should have a fight."
Roma made a perplexed sound, thinking he had misheard her. "I beg your pardon?" (Pg. 91)

HAHAHAHAHHAAHAH 笑死了！
