This buzzy YA novel set in 1920s-era Shanghai is actually. Juliette Cai is the proud heir of the Scarlet Gang - a network of criminals far above the law. When I first picked up this book I thought, this is wild, and then I couldnt put it down for 3 days. A blood feud between two gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city in chaos. The year is 1926, and Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery.
