The Liar's Dice by Jeannie Lin
4.0
I almost didn't read this book bc my brain refuses to read books out of order in a series and I didn't have the previous books. That would have been such a loss.
This is a prequel to The hidden moon by I really suggest reading it as it sets everything and you would miss the MCs meeting by skipping this novella. There is a character list that recaps the big lines from the previous books so I was never lost and I got the important background information for the side characters.
" That was what Gao was to me. Someone completely unexpected. "
Wei-Wei is sneaking out of her family's residence at night dressed like her brother. That's where she meets Gao, and they stumble upon a murdered men. That starts a quest for answers and the opportunity to see Gao again. Gao is a dangerous person but Wei-Wei still feels safe with him.
They're drawn to each other but this novella only sets the scene for the events of the full novel. We get adorable moments, banter, and Wei-Wei being smart but unprepared for the challenges she faces in the underground. A good mystery with romance undertones.
" His mouth quirked. “And see? It didn’t cost you anything.” I thought of the touch of his hand on my cheek and the missed moment between us. There had been a price. "
