These Violent Delights

I am not a fan of retelling but I have to say it was a great surprise. This is suppose to be a retelling of Romeo & Juliet and in some aspects it is... but I wish I didn't know. Because it doesn't really add to the story.
Shanghai in the 20s, what an amazing and interesting time to tell a story. Gangs, drug traffic and speakeasy... loved the atmosphere and ended being hooked. You want to solve the mysterious events happening and know more about our heroes pasts. I also learnt a lot about Shanghai and it made me curious to learn more about this city story.
Highly recommend.
