A Twist of Fae by El Holly is the second book in the
spellbinding fantasy series, Finding Fae, a mix of adventure and
unexpected twists in a world that lacks no surprises for readers. In the
opening book, Evelyn “Eevee” Acker discovers that she is not purely human. A
short note from her fae parents sends her on a journey to unravel her roots. In
this second installment, Eevee already knows where her real parents are.
However, it is not the kind of place to just walk in and see them. They are
captive, and to meet them, Eevee must first rescue them. She will be risking
not only her life but the lives of those she loves. Will she abandon the
comfort of her home in Duluth for a dangerous adventure into the fae realm?
Eevee is a lovable protagonist, a character who makes a
discovery that sets her life on an unpredictable course, colliding with danger
at every turn. She enjoys the support of her best friends — Quince, Cam, and
Maggie — and Holly excels at exploring the details of their relationship. El
Holly's gift for character shines through this second book in the narrative and
I loved the way she builds Eevee, a young girl torn between two worlds, drawn
by two loyalties, and struggling to establish the balance between what she
knows and the unknown. Themes of adoption, adventure, courage, and magic are
expertly developed in this book. There is an addictive simplicity in prose that
augments the beauty of the narrative and Eevee's voice, echoed brilliantly through
the first-person narrative tastes like drippings of the honeycomb. You'll find
it irresistible. The worldbuilding is wonderfully accomplished and it will be
interesting navigating Elfaeme and getting acquainted with the fae culture and
laws. The unpredictability in the plot in A Twist of Fae pulled me through the
pages.

There is a particular kind of silence that falls in the early hours — not the absence of sound, but the quiet rearrangement of the world before it begins again. A kettle sighs. The light finds its way through the window in thin, precise strokes. In that stilln...
