The Flicker and the Phoenix is a young adult novel set in present day. Will appeal to readers of YA thriller and fantasy.
“The Flicker and the Phoenix blends genres in a delightful way I never expected. But, more than that, even as a fun and fast-paced thriller, it has heart. Handling multiple POVs and a dual timeline, Holmes weaves together an inter-generational family story of loss, revenge, generational curses, and yet, ultimately, hope. You’ll be surprised by more than just the mind-bending twists, but also by the character depth, and its thoughtful exploration of the relationship between violence and belonging.”
