Book Review: “Divine Rivals” by Rebecca Ross
Every once in a while, I get caught sleeping on a hot book. Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross is one of them. I got an ARC at YALLFest 2022 because someone mentioned it involved journalists.

“These Violent Delights” By Chloe Gong
Retellings of the classics are everywhere right now. Some are done better than others, and Chloe Gong’s These Violent Delights is definitely on the list of more imaginative takes. I mean, it’s Romeo and Juliette… but in 1920’s Shanghai… with gang feuds… and monsters. It sounds like a mess, but I think it works, eventually.Continue reading ““These Violent Delights” By Chloe Gong”
