Synopsis

Chloe Gong returns with power plays, spilled blood, and lethal romance in the thrilling fantasy sequel to New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller Immortal Longings, inspired by Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra.

Calla Tuoleimi has succeeded in the impossible. Despite the odds, she has won San-Er’s bloody games and eliminated King Kasa, her tyrant uncle and the former ruler of Talin. She now serves as royal advisor to Kasa’s adopted son, August Shenzhi, who has risen to the throne.

Only Calla knows it isn’t really August.

Anton Makusa is still furious about Calla’s betrayal in the final round of the games. In an impossible feat, he took over August’s body to survive and has no intention of giving up this newfound power. But when his first love, the beautiful, explosive Otta Avia, awakens from a yearslong coma and reveals a secret that threatens the monarchy’s authority over Talin, chaos erupts. As tensions come to a boiling point, Calla and Anton must set their conflicts aside and head to the kingdom’s far reaches to prevent anarchy...even if their empire might be better off burning.

"Though you may think otherwise," she mumbles, "you are my anchor in this world. I'm sorry I tossed you adrift. I thought I was burying us instead." ⤷ 3.5 stars [this is a spoiler-free review] This is a very difficult book to rate, and I think I'll be thinking about my rating for a long time, becau......more

Goodreads review by Ashleigh (a frolic through fiction) on September 20, 2024

Vilest Things is an interesting mix of fantasy and dystopia as we delve into a world where body/soul jumping is common - and getting harder to track. The first book, Immortal Longings, had a high stakes competition that kept the pages turning, so I was intrigued to see where this sequel was going to......more

Goodreads review by Minju on April 18, 2024

I suppose that I cannot describe this book better than it’s title. Deep, dark, and delicious, Vilest Things is depraved and cruel like its predecessor, but far worse. With Chloe Gong’s infamous twists and turns, betrayals, and longing romance, I spent all three hours of my reading perched on the ver......more
