Silent Reading: Mo Du (Novel) #2
Silent Reading: Mo Du (Novel) Vol. 2
LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER
Yancheng Municipal Bureau is called in to handle a school bus hijacking—a bizarre crime, but seemingly an isolated one. Sadly, the police are unable to return one of the bus’s young passengers to her parents. She’s vanished without a trace.
The schoolgirl’s disappearance leads Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran to reexamine a police investigation that took place twenty years earlier. That strange case seems to have haunted almost everyone who lived through it—especially Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran’s own mentor.
Soon, it’s impossible to overlook the fact that the school bus passenger wasn’t the first young girl to go missing in Yancheng. On the contrary, girls have been vanishing into thin air for twenty years. And the next to go missing is one Tao Ran knows personally.
Dealing with that bus hijacking already forced Luo Wenzhou to enlist Fei Du’s help, and it seems he won’t get a break from the petulant young scion anytime soon. The only way for Tao Ran and Luo Wenzhou to find this girl alive may be to follow Fei Du’s instincts—however strange or disturbing they may be…

4.5 🌟
Priest knows how to write such a perfect blend of actual plot, and tension, banter and just overall romantic build up. I feel like just re-reading the fan translation to get the whole story again.
I need this series to be injected into my veins, I’m so tired of saying that words can’t describe how much I love these two, but it’s TRUE.
If this Seven Seas’ translation of volume 3 doesn’t have the iconic line I’ve been waiting so (im)patiently for, I’m gonna riot 😩 Can June come around a bit faster, please and thank you!

This was a great volume filled with both strong plotting and strong characterization. The story in this one is very dark and tragic. It realistically depicts cycles of violence and trauma, and like the previous volume, it wraps up its individual mystery while leaving threads for future volumes.
The romance is still slowly simmering, but after Fei Du and Luo Wenzhou's reconciliation of sorts at the end of volume one, the nature of their bantering has become more flirtatious. It's still so fun to read and is accompanied by some adorable awkwardness.
While the reader gets some glimpses into Fei Du's own tragic past, he's still pretty mysterious to Luo Wenzhou, and I'm eager to see them open up to each other.

“You can teach a child to be wary of strangers, to be more alert, but you can’t let her be afraid to wear a floral dress. Otherwise, what’s the point of us police?”
I’ll be honest, even though this volume has less action than the first one, I ended up liking it more. It’s heavier and more emotionally draining, and I felt that the entire time I was reading. There were moments I had to put the book down and just breathe because anything involving crimes against children hits me hard. This story leans deeply into child abuse and inappropriate relationships with minors, and it does not soften the reality of it. If that subject is triggering for you, I genuinely recommend skipping this one. It’s intense in a way that lingers. The investigation stretches across two timelines and slowly uncovers something that’s been buried for years. Watching everything connect piece by piece made my stomach drop more than once.
What really stayed with me was Luo Wenzhou and Fei Du. Luo Wenzhou can be sharp and stubborn, and he hides his care behind sarcasm and irritation, but it’s obvious how deeply he feels. The small things he does meant more to me than any dramatic confession could. Fei Du carries himself with this calm, polished confidence, always a little teasing, always watching. Underneath that is someone who has been hurt and who sees far more than he lets on. The way they circle each other, argue, push, and quietly look out for one another had me completely invested. Their connection feels restrained and complicated, and every charged exchange made me want to keep reading just to see how far they would let themselves go.
This book is not easy. It deals with abused children, buried truths, and long-standing failures that are painful to sit with. Some sections are dense because the investigation goes deep into detail, but I appreciated that commitment. It made everything feel real and grounded. By the time the truth started coming together, I felt emotionally wrung out. Still, I’m glad I read it. It’s haunting, thoughtful, and deeply human. Even when I had to step away, I kept thinking about it, and that’s usually how I know a book has truly affected me.

The case in this book ... I can only say in one word "Damn"
It's sick, it's creepy and it's horrific. I love the banter between Luo Wenzhou and Fei Du. The tension, gosh. The plotline, amazing. The dark side of the case? Goddamn!
Anyways, love love love this book ❤️

Review of advance copy
5/5 🌟
Read this a year ago and it became one of my favorite stories. I love Priest so much! Her characters are the funniest and wittiest. I love her writing, sweet romance, and story telling. Her world building is out of this world. This volume had to be one of my favorites. It was creepy, horrific, yet so intriguing. You will not regret it!
Wendu! You both have my heart wrapped around your finger! Wait... That's Wenzhou wrapped around Fei Du Hehehe

It's my favourite read of the year so far. I love the push and pull between Luo Wenzhou and Fei Du. The drama and the investigation in this volume had me completely engrossed. The results broke my heart, but I don't think it would have made sense if everything had ended with a happy ending in that situation. I've read a lot of danmei in the fantasy genre, so it always hits extra hard when there's no magic to fall back on and reality crashes into scenes.
The illustrations were gorgeous. Fei Du posing on the front of that car is so staged and such obvious bait, but I love it. The mysteries around his past are still so shrouded, but hopefully, the next few volumes will give us some clear answers. I already have a strong sense that the boy has major daddy issues.
Hope to see him open up to Luo Wenzhou more and see more heat between them that only exists in the dark recesses of a certain young lady's mind currently. Shout out to Rylee for the cover art, especially. Both Volume 1 and 2 have covers that match the tone and feel of the story to a T. June and September can't come soon enough. I need volumes 3 and 4 in my hands now, but alas, I must exercise patience. Until then, I guess I'll just have to try and devour the rest of seven seas danmei releases with all due haste.
I blame the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation for starting me down this road. My poor wallet cries out every time they announce a new series is being officially released. Of course, then I read these stories, and the regrets fly out the window. Thank you, Priest, for this story. I can't wait to see what happens next. I need to see Tao Ran figure out what's happening right behind his back while he's making googly eyes at his crush. I feel like he'll need a week's vacation just to process that kind of bombshell. It's not like he hasn't earned that already anyway. This whole group needs a vacation arc. Fei Du, open thy wallet and see it down. If you can afford to laugh off parking tickets, you got vacay money for at least a couple dozen people. That's all I'm saying 😂

I cannot rate it just yet because Forbidden Planet apparently got stock early as it got delivered to me last week. But 5 Stars, and I'll add that later when I can rate it.
Arc 2: Humbert Humbert
Turn the page.
"I loved you. I was a pentapod monster, but I loved you- Lolita"
Oh... Oh no...
While the first book was a little bit confusing with so many names and twists and turns, this one had a much smaller cast. It was also easier to read knowing and seeing when the perspectives changed and shifted, almost like a TV show.
The relationship between Fei Du and Lou Wenzhou has changed and developed a lot between the two books and even during this one.
But more importantly, the topic of this book. It is very intense...
Trigger Warnings for- Child Murder, Child Kidnapping, Child Sexual Abuse, Paedophilia, Child Prostitution, Grooming
That said it does raise some things that will probably be answered going forwards and one question in particular isn't answered, but considering it is raised right at the end, I think it might come up again in the future.

Dopo la terza rilettura di questo arco confermo che si tratta di una discreta bomba.
Per il resto non penso ci sia altro da aggiungere, considerando che negli ultimi due mesi su questa storia credo di aver speso un quantitativo di parole pari a una tesi di laurea.
Non vedo l'ora però che escano gli altri volumi, avere fisicamente fra le mani il cartaceo a questo punto è niente di meno che una necessità.

Este es mi caso favorito de todo Mo Du, y sigue siendo igual de interesante que la primera vez que lo leí.

"You can't even carry something like this upstairs? Where's your stamina, young man?"
Fei Du turned and gazed down at him from a few steps up. "Want to put it to the test, Sergeant Luo?"
salaried worker"
That left luo Wenzhou speechless.

Забудьте о том, что я собиралась понемногу читать новеллу, разбив её по томам. План растянуть текст на месяц-другой довольно быстро схлопнулся, а всё потому, что каждая новая глава вызывала во мне всё больше положительных эмоций. И уже было совсем неважно, что такая направленность в детективах вообще ни разу не для меня. У новеллы весьма гармоничная завязка на тотальной коррупции, личной драме и романтике (��равда, последнее начинается полноценно только с четвёртого тома, но моменты присутствуют и раньше, хоть и не такие явные). И писательница так удачно «вплетает» все эти темы в роман.
Не так давно Ло Вэньчжоу рассказал о закрытом деле, которое волновало его прошлого начальника. Некто похищал маленьких девочек, а после преступники звонили родителям, но не для того, чтобы потребовать выкуп, а чтобы напомнить об их горе. У девочек не было ничего общего, помимо одежды — все они носили платья в цветочек. Не дождавшись поимки похитителя, отец одной из жертв самостоятельно провёл расследование, отыскал похитителя и лишил его жизни. Прошло двадцать лет. Школьники вместе с учителем отправились на экскурсию, но на середине пути неизвестные взяли их в заложники, чтобы затребовать выкуп. Одной из девочек удалось сбежать, но помощи она не нашла. Кто-то забрал бедняжку, а спустя пару дней пропала ещё одна девочка. Неужели объявился подражатель или всё куда страшнее и двадцать лет назад убили не того человека?
Я уже упомянула, что авторка умеет в правильный баланс заданных тем, и это действительно так. Она не перегружает текст и не мечется, а последовательно ведёт сюжет и грамотно заканчивает каждую линию. Впрочем, если присмотреться, то в новелле присутствует определённая градация. Первый том охватывал личную драму и коррупцию, второй сосредоточился сильнее на личной драме, третий исключительно на коррупции, четвёртый повторил путь второго (но с сильной коррупционной линией), а последний опять же пришёл к тому, с чего всё начиналось. И вот эта личная драма изрядно встряхнула меня, изничтожив все нервные клетки. Наверное, по этой же причине второй и четвертый том для меня стопроцентное попадание в сердце.
Педофилия, проституция, родительский беспредел и посреди всего этого мрака искреннее желание быть хорошим и правильным человеком. Мне было больно за каждую из девочек, которым не посчастливилось закончить свою жизнь таким ужасным способом. Не могу сказать, что писательница уж так сильно углублялась в драматизм, скорее наоборот — она была весьма суха на эмоциональную часть, но это холодное повествование только сильнее давило и морально уничтожало. Это один из главных плюсов текста. Он не давит на жалость намеренно, а описывает всё без прикрас, и такой подход задевает за живое.
Рано ещё признаваться в любви Ло Вэньчжоу, но этот мужчина так прекрасен, а я так падка на сильных мужских персонажей. Он кажется таким обычным парнем. Где-то несерьёзным, где-то грубым и излишне поспешным, но стоит ему на чём-то сосредоточиться, и вот он уже превращается в стойкого и хладнокровно-мыслящего человека. И в любой из своих ипостасях он остаётся настоящим взрослым. Тем идеальным примером, на который хочется равняться. Честное слово, Ло Вэньчжоу — моя римская империя. К сожалению, Фэй Ду никогда не приблизится к этому неподъёмному уровню, но с каждым томом я всё сильнее к нему проникаюсь, и в этом он уже представлен куда лучше.
Новелла меня захватила и стала одной из той, к которой я буду возвращаться. Наверняка я в каждом томе буду говорить о том, что коррупционные детективы не моё и что писательница каким-то способом умудрилась влюбить меня в этот текст, но так оно и есть. Невзирая на нелюбимый поджанр, я читала до утра, не желая прерываться, и наслаждалась каждой строчкой. И даже пообещав себе растянуть новеллу, заканчивая один том, я сразу же бралась за следующий.

always happy to be back with fei du and luo wenzhou. while this might not be my favourite arc of silent reading it is the one that has stuck with me the most.
fei du and luo wenzhou are reunited on a case where a young girl has gone missing in an eerily similar way to a series of chilling kidnappings from 20 years ago. things get a lot more personal when the second victim is a child they both know.
volume 2 feels very fast in comparison to how drawn out volume 1 was, but I feel like that makes sense given the nature of the crime at the centre of this arc.
and it truly is a horrifying crime; exploring the cycle of violence and abuse, and how the victim can become the perpetrator in twisted, spine-chilling irony. and there's this ongoing theme of young flowers just blooming that just makes everything more sick and sad.
its not lost on me that this is the volume we first start to see some of the horrors a young fei du faced.
another thing the book does well is the advancement of fei du and luo wenzhou's relationship. in volume 1, they were mutual annoyances who somewhat made peace, and in volume 2 they're still annoying each other but now its tinted with flirtation that leaves both of them baffled at first.

I wasn't entirely convinced after the first volume that I would love this series, but after this one, I need to know more!
The mystery was even better than in the first I thought. It was somewhat personal on a few levels. We also got a more insight in Fei Du's past and motivations, and I just need more. His memory about his father (I think) explaining about life and death was so heartbreaking. I think it may explain the fact he didn't want to keep Luo Yigue (the cat). The relationship between Fei Du and Luo Wenzhou is also slowly changing and I look forward to seeing what's coming next.
I like the side characters as well, have a lot of fondness for Luo Wenzhou, but Fei Du intrigues me enormously. I feel very protective about him but I can't help fear there's a darker side, like Wenzhou keeps thinking. I can't wait for the next volume! 🥰

Another banger from Priest! I'm really enjoying that each novel is its own self contained mystery. It's nice to not end on cliffhangers. This case did deal with little girls so be warned. Nothing graphic. This author does a pretty good job to alluding to things without painting a play by play. I enjoyed the flirting back and forth between Luo Wenzhou and Fei Du in this book. These two fools are definitely becoming much more interested in each other. We also got a bit more of a look at the secrets Fei Du is keeping so close to his heart. I'd love for him to let Wenzhou close enough to share the burden of these secrets with him. All in due time I presume. Overall I don't have a ton to say because it's a mystery and I don't want to spoil anything. I had a great time and was entertained from start to finish which is all I can ever want from a book.

I definitely enjoyed this second volume much more than the first one. The first book focused heavily on setting the atmosphere, introducing the characters, and laying the groundwork through the initial investigation and their personal complexities. Since each volume features a new case, it felt like a necessary foundation.
In this second installment, we finally see a real evolution in the relationship between the two protagonists. There’s more interaction, more chemistry, and you can truly feel the dynamic that fans love so much about this series. I absolutely loved that development. But what surprised me the most — without spoiling anything — was the investigation itself. It was gripping, clever, and incredibly satisfying to follow. I genuinely enjoyed forming my own theories and then discovering how everything unfolded.
Overall, a fantastic second volume.

Sinceramente, este volumen ha sido una montaña rusa de emociones.
Este arco, emprende casos de niñas desaparecidas que tienen conexión con un caso de hace 20 años en el que desaparecieron 6 niñas y nunca encontraron los cuerpos.
Saber lo que pasó a esas nenas en realidad y quiénes eran las personas que estaban involucradas en ambos casos, me han echo sentir fatal que tenían los ojos llorosos y ganas de vomitar. MIS DIECES A PRIEST POR SU ESCRITURA, como ha explicado las situaciones y los pensamientos …… OLÉ 👏
en otra parte Luo Wenzhou y Fei Du están poco a poco acercándose y sus pensamientos en como realizan que sienten algo es tan bonito 😍 LOS AMO

The case in this volume gave me nightmares. Give Luo Wenzhou all the banners because that man is Work. Ing. I'm genuinely scared of Fei Du's backstory. Every time we get the smallest bit of insight, I wish I could unsee it. The burn between these two is sooooo slow, but I am here for it. June cannot come soon enough.

This volume was quite the ride, and just as heartbreaking. Stories like this genuinely scare me; I get secondhand trauma (if that’s even a thing).
I loved Fei Du and Luo Wenzhou’s relationship even more in this one. The slow burn is killing me in the best way, and I can’t wait for it to finally pay off.
I’m also really curious about what cases we’ll see in the upcoming volumes.

If I could rate this higher than five stars I would! This one had me hooked from start to finish. The start of their flirty banter, the emotional weight and intensity of the case, the little nuggets of Fei Du lore…all of it, chefs kiss. 👏

The enemies to lovers slow burn I needed in my life. Plus the plot keeps me on the edge of my seat. Can't wait for vol. 3.

"You can teach a child to be wary of strangers, to be more alert, but you can’t let her be afraid to wear a floral dress. Otherwise, what’s the point of us police?”
