Foul Heart Huntsman

By: Chloe Gong

Narrated by: Emily Woo Zeller

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends comes the “fast-paced…impressive” (Kirkus Reviews) second book in the captivating Foul Lady Fortune duology following an immortal assassin in 1930s Shanghai as she races to save her country and her love.

Winter is drawing thick in 1932 Shanghai, as is the ever-nearing threat of a Japanese invasion.

Rosalind Lang has suffered the worst possible fate for a national spy: she’s been exposed. With the media storm camped outside her apartment for the infamous Lady Fortune, she’s barely left her bedroom in weeks, plotting her next course of action after Orion was taken and his memories of Rosalind wiped. Though their marriage might have been a sham, his absence hurts her more than any physical wound. She won’t rest until she gets him back.

But with her identity in the open, the task is near impossible. The only way to leave the city and rescue Orion is under the guise of a national tour. It’s easy to convince her superiors that the countryside needs unity more than ever, and who better than an immortal girl to stir pride and strength into the people?

When the tour goes wrong, however, everything Rosalind once knew is thrown up in the air. Taking refuge outside Shanghai, old ghosts come into the open and adversaries turn to allies. To save Orion, they must find a cure to his mother’s traitorous invention and take this dangerous chemical weapon away from impending foreign invasion—but the clock is ticking, and if Rosalind fails, it’s not only Orion she loses, but her nation itself.

Critic reviews

"Emily Woo Zeller brings passion to the thrilling conclusion of a duology about the exploits of an immortal assassin. Rosalind is in dire straits: She’s been outed as a spy, and her partner has been kidnapped. With the eyes of the nation upon her, she uses a public relations tour as a guise to find her partner. Zeller’s pacing keeps listeners on edge. As the threat of invasion looms, Zeller keeps that tension in the forefront. Each character sounds different, but all share Zeller’s intensity. Zeller’s powerful delivery enhances this fast-paced story."

Engaging and interesting

I love the plot and all the characters. Sometimes it was hard to keep up with all the characters but eventually I got familiar with them.

Love the conclusion

Narrator was great! I love this duet. It has the right amount of suspense, humor, angst, and even at times cheesiness.

Great Conclusion

For the most part, I liked the narrator. I wasn't crazy about her male voices. The story was engaging and filled with plenty of action and twists. It has a HEA, which I adored.

Very good

Very good, but I want more. 😃
I grew attached to the characters with their spy skills and love interests

Chole Gong Supremacy

As always Chole knows how to put me in a chokehold with her books. I was just waiting for time to listen to the book cause I couldn’t get enough.
