Immortal Longings
by Chloe Gong
Buy on AmazonImmortal Longings is the cutthroat fantasy novel of a Hunger Games girlie’s dreams. Chloe Gong seamlessly blends revenge, romance and power struggle in this story about a former princess who teams up with an exiled aristocrat in a competition to the death. The book’s claustrophobic setting of San-Er (inspired by the real-life Kowloon Walled City), lends a gritty realness to a world where anyone can switch bodies (yes, there’s body-jumping in this book, but weirdly it works). If you find yourself hungry for a story that will cut you while you read and where betrayal lurks around every corner, you’ll want to check this title out.
