Critics Review

PRAISE FOR CHLOE GONG
Ferociously savage and full of the most delicious twists, Vilest Things lives up to all my highest and most unhinged expectations * Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches *
Dark, dazzling, and deliciously depraved, Chloe Gong pulls no punches in this heart-pounding sequel to Immortal Longings. The prose is as smart and lethally sharp as the characters, the tension is palpable on every page, and the twists will leave you breathless. To say I’m obsessed would be an understatement * Ann Liang, New York Times bestselling author of A Song to Drown Rivers *
The only thing hotter than a character written by Chloe Gong is a betrayal written by Chloe Gong. The scale of world-building and depths of romantic hostility grabbed me by the throat (and I said thank you) * Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six *
A knife-sharp sequel smoldering with vengeance and intrigue. Chloe Gong does not pull her punches, and you’ll thank her for the pain * Heather Walter, award-winning author of Malice *
Immortal Longings is a grab-you-and-won’t-let-go sort of book, as brutal and merciless as its characters * Andrea Stewart, author of The Drowning Empire trilogy *
Gripping, bewildering, irresistible, Chloe Gong’s Immortal Longings is a tour de force of Asian Futurism * Ryka Aoki, author of Light From Uncommon Stars *
Vilest Things is another cutthroat classic from the amazing Chloe Gong * Tasha Suri, award-winning author of The Burning Kingdoms trilogy *
A fast-paced adventure, balancing each of the main characters’ dubious morality with the tension of the prior relationships Anton had with both Calla and Otta. Readers will excitedly await the next adventure * Booklist *
Smart, imaginative, and brutal, Immortal Longings is a mind- and genre-bending epic that is as cutting and honest as it is unpredictable * Wesley Chu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The War Arts Saga *
