The pacing on this seemed so off. This could have been about 100 pages shorter.

It was enemies to lovers type of romance. This book was different from her Lady Fortune in two distinct ways. This book had in your face romance while lady fortune had more subtle romance. I wish both books had more romance, they were both lovable couples. Lady fortune had more paranormal fiction while violent delights had more of a boogey man feel until more towards the end of the book when you finally got some type of depiction of what the “madness” was. Chloe Gong does write exceptional and I don’t regret reading her books. I’m glad I started with Lady Fortune, and I compare the two not because she wrote both but because they are about the same characters in the same story world but different couples within that story line. A great read.

This book drug on for me. It had the potential to be good. But for an enemies to lovers arc, there wasn't much romance. I think between the romance, the politics, and the monsters - the book had too much going on & the author didn't seem to have a clear direction where this was going
