“One of the best books by a new author that I have ever read. A Twisted Fate is packed with excitement, thought provoking chapters and sassy characters. If you enjoy sassy headstrong characters, great fight scenes, creative use of a new language (short index included for reference), and a thrilling story I would highly recommend this book to you!”
—Sarah H, Goodreads ★ ★ ★ ★★
“This was a fantastic debut novel by Endsley! I very highly recommend it to all urban fantasy lovers looking for something sweet, funny, but absolutely intrigue filled with amazing characters, cool but dangerous magic, deadly and fierce battles and an exiled elf just trying to just keep it together the best she can.
—Melinda C, Amazon ★ ★ ★ ★

“Overall, Endsley’s ‘A Twisted Fate’ is promising start to a series that skillfully blends the mystical with the modern. It earns a solid 4 out of 5 starts for its engaging characters, imaginative world-building, and a plot that keeps the reader hooked. As the first book in a series, it set the stage for what promises to be an enchanting and thrilling fantasy adventure.”

Here’s a little bit about the story:
Sixteen-year-old Bianca Monroe has prepared for this moment her entire life.
She’s joining the quietly famous magical school Miss Mabel’s School for Girls. The only place where she can save her own life. Winning a spot to work directly with Miss Mabel is downright dangerous—particularly with Bianca’s secrets to keep close.
Bianca comes face to face with enchanting spells, simmering potions, and the brutal pangs of homesickness.
Unfortunately, Miss Mabel has her own evil plans. If Bianca loses, she’s at the very center of them. Bianca’s only hope lies within the power of her grit, intelligence, and sheer determination.
