Book excerpt: An instant #1 New York Times bestseller! Shanghai is under siege in this “tightly paced” (School Library Journal, starred review) and searingly romantic sequel to These Violent Delights, which New York Times bestselling author Natasha Ngan calls “deliciously dark.” The year is 1927, and Shanghai teeters on the edge of revolution. After sacrificing her relationship with Roma to protect him from the blood feud, Juliette has been a girl on a mission. One wrong move, and her cousin will step in to usurp her place as the Scarlet Gang’s heir. The only way to save the boy she loves from the wrath of the Scarlets is to have him want her dead for murdering his best friend in cold blood. If Juliette were actually guilty of the crime Roma believes she committed, his rejection might sting less. Roma is still reeling from Marshall’s death, and his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him. Roma knows it’s his fault for letting the ruthless Juliette back into his life, and he’s determined to set things right—even if that means killing the girl he hates and loves with equal measure. Then a new monstrous danger emerges in the city, and though secrets keep them apart, Juliette must secure Roma’s cooperation if they are to end this threat once and for all. Shanghai is already at a boiling point: The Nationalists are marching in, whispers of civil war brew louder every day, and gangster rule faces complete annihilation. Roma and Juliette must put aside their differences to combat monsters and politics, but they aren’t prepared for the biggest threat of all: protecting their hearts from each other.

Download or read book Bloodborn written by Stephanie Kemler and published by . This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the descendant of a centuries-old cult, Mina Coffin was never promised an ordinary life. The only things that keep her alive are drinking from open veins and keeping secrets. But truths drip from her lips like blood, and trust is a dangerous thing. Will falling in love with a man with killer instincts, being hunted by an ex-girlfriend with fangs, and a perilous accident threaten the peaceful life she built after years of turmoil? It will take a fight with her inner demons and the sacrifice of the ones who love her most to learn how strong she really is. Mina's journey is a long and gory one, but it's worth it. Even if she needs a few daggers and a lot of blood to find out. Sink your teeth into this fresh and exciting twist on vampire lore from up and coming novelist, Stephanie Kemler. Everything you thought you knew about dark creatures of the night fades to black as Kemler's novel poses a new question to vampire lovers everywhere: Which would you be? Bloodborn or Bloodmad? "I tend not to be surprised by books very often. But Bloodborn, Stephanie Kemler's debut novel, was that rare and bloody little gem that floored me completely. My heart ached for Mina Coffin, whose trauma lives and breathes on every page, and delighted in the ridiculously wicked Lucy... no matter how twisted she is. Or maybe because of that fact. It's really hard to tell. And the ending... well, let's just say that I didn't see it coming. From start to finish, this is everything you could want out of a gothic vampire tale and if not, then there's probably something wrong with you." - Christopher Stanfield, author of The Girl in the Storm, The Woman in Darkness, and Elegy "Thirsting creatures walk among us, born into devotion and blood. Kemler's debut is a strong one with brilliantly drawn characters humanized despite their otherness and wildly relatable in their emotions and constant struggle to navigate life's blessings and its curses." - Gillian Dowell, author of Paracosm, Found By Forbiddance, and Hello, Dove "A blood-worthy gothic romance, Bloodborn sinks its teeth into its sophisticated protagonist Mina Coffin and will fascinate readers. It is a triumphant story about transformation, love, loss, and grief. A natural page-turner that will captivate with the dark allure of Mina's world." - David Grinnell, author of Ashes "In her debut novel, Kemler shows off her world-building by immersing readers into a religion that feels like a damned branch of Christianity. I would recommend this book to any reader, particularly those who love gothic literature, romance, and paranormal thrillers." Grace R. Reynolds, author of Lady of the House

Besides, Vicente has always gotten everything he wants - why shouldn't he have Violet too? Soon his wants turn into an obsession, one that sweeps Violet into his games as they fall madly, deeply in love with each other, the type of first love that can drive a person mad.
