A FOUL THING REVIEW:what can i say about this first short story? it was hilarious as expect, but also ridiculously sweet and happy and it was everything i wanted and more。 chloe really spoiled us。 we got to see some of the plot form FLF happening in this too but condensed and the scene in which juliette writes the letter summoning rosalind to zhouzhuang had me just as hyped as when i first read rosalind reading it in FLF。 only this time it was kind was tinged with sadness because it means they’r A FOUL THING REVIEW:what can i say about this first short story? it was hilarious as expect, but also ridiculously sweet and happy and it was everything i wanted and more。 chloe really spoiled us。 we got to see some of the plot form FLF happening in this too but condensed and the scene in which juliette writes the letter summoning rosalind to zhouzhuang had me just as hyped as when i first read rosalind reading it in FLF。 only this time it was kind was tinged with sadness because it means they’re going to be exposed and people will know they’re alive, and i was so happy that they were finally living the cozy and domestic life they wanted with each other。 i just hope they can still go back to zhouzhuang after FHH is over。 please chloe。 i love how much we got to see roma and juliette just express their love for one another unabashedly and wholeheartedly。 it honestly made me so teary eyed reading this short story when i wasn’t laughing at their banter (as usual)。 reading a foul thing just made me want to reread these violent delights and our violent ends all over again。 THIS FOUL MURDER REVIEW:i don’t know what i was expecting from this short story but a murder mystery taking place over the span of almost a week wasn’t it and i loved every second of it。 it had me wracking my brain to try and read between the lines and bouncing off of the theories benedikt and marshal had。 i was definitely right about the culprit from the start although i was very confused by their identity as chloe did a very good job of not explicitly describing their looks。 i was honestly very close with my guess and for good reason because my guess was actually sort of linked to who i had though it was。 the humour in this was also top-notch as expected not just from chloe but from this duo。 i missed marshall and benedikt so much and i’m so happy we got an entire novella from both their perspectives。 i can’t wait to see what they end up doing in foul heart huntsman and if we get to see an on-page reunion (i wouldn’t say this is spoilery since why else would this novella be placed between FLF and FHH if it wasn’t related to the plot of the second book in the spin-off duology/last book in the secret shanghai series。 finishing this novella means i’m now one book away from being done with this series forever and i don’t feel happy that it’s almost over。 i never want this to end!!!all in all, i just love that we got to separate stories that focus on four well-loved characters but despite not having the same exact plot, they still are very well connected and sets up the last secret shanghai book perfectly。 this was an easy 5 star read。 。。。more

“Science could tell him that the ground was below his feet and the sky was above his head and the early light of day was upon his back。 Roma wouldn't listen。 To him, Juliette was the sun。” 5⭐️Ahh I loved this so much! It was great to be reunited with old characters and see how they’ve grown over the years - I love them so much。 The murder mystery aspect in both stories was so fun and interesting。 Although the stories were fairly short, Chloe Gong packed a lot into it, plot and character-wise。The “Science could tell him that the ground was below his feet and the sky was above his head and the early light of day was upon his back。 Roma wouldn't listen。 To him, Juliette was the sun。” 5⭐️Ahh I loved this so much!

These novellas were everything I needed and so much more。 An absolute Delight (punintended) to be back with my two favourite couples。 I laughed。 I gasped。 I spent most of my time reading with a stupid grin on my face。 I already want to reread and annotate the hell out of it。 What does a girl need to do for a foul heart huntsman arc? I’m desperate for more but I’m not ready for stories in tgis world to be over (and I’m also terrified about how it’s gonna end)

I love Roma and Juliette, and I love the storyline BUT I got a little confused(which is not the author's problem because I'm not good at understanding sentences) and when i get confused, i start drifting away and get bored。 That's my only problem with the novella。 THE PLOT TWIST IN A FOUL THING WASN'T INSANE, ok, maybe it is。。。but I kind of predicted it。 Juliette needs therapy。 yes, I said it。 Someone needs to take her brain and wash it cause WHYS EVERYTHING THATS COMING OUT OF HER MOUTH VIOLENCE。 but I love her for that。 Juliette and Roma can take my soul and i wouldn't complain (this goes for Ben & mars) This foul murder THIS NOVELLA IS FUCKING PERFECT。 It's everything I need。 murder mystery。 the plot is hella insane。 never thought of it。 it's simple yet mindblowing。 this foul murder is so interesting that i refused to pee cause i didn't want to put it down。 It was so easy to understand。 I don't even have much to say about this novella, that's how much I love it。 THE STORYLINE。 mmm screaming。 I love lev though。 (we're the same age so do consider me)FOR MISS CHLOE。 i think you're suitable to write a book about jokes。 I CACKLED, GIGGLED, AND KICKED MY FEET AROUND THE WHOLE BOOK。 you're amazing。 the interaction between each other character is amazingly written。 your writing style is amazing and beautiful。 Juliette and marshal should start a comedian group。 I love an awkward x openly loving couple。 AND JULIETTE AND ROMA ARE JUST LIKE OLD ELDERLY COUPLES。also, i dont know how i took more time to finish this novella than thick ass flf 。。。more

HOLY SHITBALLS THESE NOVELLASFirst of all, there were so many cutesy moments and plot developments that I’ve run out of tabs and need to buy more, so Chloe if you want to pay for those please be my guestSecond of all, ARE THEY ALL GONNA HELP RESCUE ORION IN FHH????What a whirlwind。 It was great to see R+J loving their best lives in Zhouzhuang and the little kid that throws balls at Roma 😆。 I loved Milyena and Yulun, so sweet。 Gong promised domestic bliss but man I was TENSE at some parts。 Marsha HOLY SHITBALLS THESE NOVELLASFirst of all, there were so many cutesy moments and plot developments that I’ve run out of tabs and need to buy more, so Chloe if you want to pay for those please be my guestSecond of all, ARE THEY ALL GONNA HELP RESCUE ORION IN FHH????What a whirlwind。 It was great to see R+J loving their best lives in Zhouzhuang and the little kid that throws balls at Roma 😆。 I loved Milyena and Yulun, so sweet。 Gong promised domestic bliss but man I was TENSE at some parts。 Marshall and Benedikt are EVERYTHING。 It’s like Murder on the Orient Express but gayer。 And the way you know the murderer but you don’t *know* them until the end? Well maybe everyone else would see it coming but I sure as hell didn’t。I’m conclusion, I’m gonna go buy more tabs and stare at a wall until Foul Heart Huntsman comes out because it’s all I have to live for 。。。more

All thoughts and opinions are my own。 Forever grateful for Simon Teen <3THIS WAS AMAZING。 Chloe Gong is such an amazing writer。 Last Violent call is the perfect story(ies) to read while waiting for Foul Heart Huntsman (Foul Lady Fortune #2)。 If you haven't read Foul Lady Fortune, or the These Violent Delights duology for that matter, this is your sign。 Last Violent Call consists of two short stories, A Foul Thing and This Foul Murder。 A Foul Thing explores Roma and Juliette's life off the grid after the events of Foul Lady Fortune, and it was such a great read。 I loved how Chloe talked about Juliette's trauma and her healing process, adding quotes like "They emerged back into the world, deciding that they had done what they could for their city and it was time to choose themselves, at long last。" (This made me tear up) and was able to write her in this setting without taking away from the characters roots。 She's still violent and stubborn, the perfect pair to Roma :,)It was so nice to be reading about RomaJuliette again, truly one of my favourite fictional ships。 Chloe was able to write a story in 100 pages that was cozy and sweet while also being action packed and exciting, I was never left bored。 I also was amazed at how Chloe was able to introduce whole new characters without making the story cramped or confusing, no threads were left bare。 Mila is a new favourite character of mine, I love her and can't wait for you all to meet her! This story was perfect and ended so well, I am in such anticipation for Foul Heart Huntsman。 This Foul Murder follows Benedict and Marshal when they're sent on a train by Roma (for a task you will understand when reading) and when their trip is threatened to be interrupted by a murder on the train, they take on the task of finding the culprit。 This was soooo fun I love murder mysteries。 I loved how in such a short amount of time Chloe can pack in so much, I did not expect the amount of twists in these stories and plot points that caught me off guard。 Also loved reading how Ben and Mars' are also still healing from everything they've lived through, and how that can be seen through small acts。 My only critic is that it took a bit to get things going in this story, there was not a lot happening at first, but caught up later on。 I am on EDGE for Foul Heart Huntsman, I highly recommend adding The Secret Shanghai books to your tbr! 。。。more
