My Review: I never read book one of this one so I can't say if this really works without reading that one. I will say that I enjoyed this story though and I didn't feel lost within its pages. This story is unlike anything I have read and I really don't know how to describe it to tell you the truth. I loved the characters and the events of the story. The mystery was very interesting and I feel I really need to read book one. This is an author too look out for.
Review
"I can't deny the solid build-up of their chemistry, and that they are a solid pair for silly butterflies in the stomach. Every time they interacted with each other a smile would shamelessly mark itself across my face. I mostly found myself barely suppressing my giggles as I read in the comforts of the dead hours that I should have been sleeping. In my opinion, the playfulness of their relationship as they took on the imperative task of unfolding the mystery behind Alexa's death made this novel irresistible." ~ Eve Freestone, Reedsy.com
From the Author
Writing this book has been a journey, but it was worth it. It's really my love letter to my Filipino-American community, creatives and change makers who dared to dream outside of the box. I started writing The Night Orchid because I wanted more Asian-American visibility in the literary page. Most of all, I wanted to see a Filipinx protagonist in the American space. This was a three year journey--writing this after and in between my 9-to-5 job. But when, I finished, I had a hard time letting go. I've enjoyed creating Julian and Jo but now I have to share them with you all. Thank you so much for giving them a shot. Enjoy!
