Book One of The FAWKES Trilogy
A dual-protagonist spy thriller about two siblings, one elite team, and what it takes to choose each other when it counts.
The job was dangerous enough before it became personal.
Eleanor Fawkes knows how to move under pressure. Working beside her older brother is something else entirely.

When one mission puts her between the threat and everyone else, the cost lands harder than either sibling is ready for.
FAWKES FLIGHT is perfect for readers who like covert operations, found-family team dynamics, sibling tension, cinematic action, and emotional fallout that lasts beyond the mission.

A strong start to the trilogy and one I thoroughly enjoyed!
Fawkes Flight follows estranged siblings Eleanor and Evander as they take on covert missions. Eleanor is self-possessed, trusts her instincts, and never waits for permission; Evander is far more guarded and controlled. Fast-paced and tense, it balances sharp action with real emotional stakes and difficult choices. Perfect for anyone who loves espionage stories with complex family dynamics.
I’m so excited to see where the story goes next!

"The job was dangerous enough before it became personal."
At its core, this is an espionage thriller with covert missions, high-stakes operations, and enough action to keep your pulse racing.
But beneath all of that, it is a story about estranged siblings, trust, loyalty, and the people who become family when your world demands sacrifices most people will never understand.
The story follows Eleanor Fawkes, who is recruited into the covert unit where her older brother, Evander, already serves.
They couldn't be more different. Eleanor trusts her instincts. Evander relies on discipline and control. Years of emotional distance suddenly have to coexist with life-or-death missions where hesitation isn't an option.
I have to admit, this is not a genre I naturally gravitate toward.
I love action films because I can see every explosion, every chase, every fight unfold in front of me.
Reading action has usually always felt harder because I struggle to picture most of the terms written in it. But Fawkes Flight surprised me.
The action feels incredibly cinematic without becoming confusing. Every sequence is easy to visualize, and every mission carries genuine tension because the emotional stakes are just as important as the physical ones.
What initially convinced me to pick this book up was the sibling relationship.
There simply aren't enough espionage stories where siblings stand at the center instead of romance. That instantly caught my attention, and I'm so happy it delivered.
Evander spends so much of the story trying to remain composed because that's what the job demands. He has trained himself to think strategically before emotionally. But there is one moment that completely shattered me.
Without giving away too much, when Eleanor is in danger, every carefully constructed wall around Evander crumbles. Watching him throw himself into trying to reach her reminded me that beneath every trained operative is still an older brother who cannot bear the thought of losing his sister. His breakdown at the hospital was one of the most emotional moments in the book for me because it felt so deeply human. It wasn't dramatic for the sake of drama. It was simply grief, fear, guilt, and love colliding all at once.
I also loved the team dynamic.
Every member of the unit brings a distinct personality and role, creating a genuine found family rather than simply feeling like supporting characters filling space. The trust between them has clearly been earned over years of working together, and I found myself growing attached to the entire team alongside Eleanor.
The writing itself deserves praise too. It flows effortlessly, balancing technical spy elements with emotional character moments in a way that never feels overwhelming. Even as someone new to reading espionage, I never felt lost.
One thing I appreciated about my reading experience is that I never rushed this book.
I took my own sweet time with it because some stories deserve to be lived with rather than raced through.
Every mission, every conversation, and every emotional beat landed because I allowed myself to settle into the world instead of speeding toward the ending.
And then came that ending.
That glimpse into the first chapter of Book Two immediately had me excited, especially with the three-year time skip waiting ahead. It opens the door to so many possibilities, and I genuinely cannot wait to see how Eleanor, Evander, and the rest of the team have changed.
If you're looking for a spy thriller with cinematic action, dual protagonists, sibling relationships that actually feel authentic, found family, emotional consequences, and a story that remembers its characters are just as important as its missions, Fawkes Flight is absolutely worth your time.
Now comes the difficult part - Waiting for Book Two.

Firstly, thank you so much to the author for choosing me as an ARC reader. I was so grateful to be selected.
From page one this gets straight into the action and it reminded me of an episode of 24 (do you remember how epic that show was when it first came out?). Lots going on and the book almost reads like a movie - lots of shorter sentences but full of detail. I quite liked the pacing and that the story didn’t loiter.
This wasn’t my usual genre (spy thriller) to read and I think that because of that I was easily confused initially. There were lots of characters introduced throughout and I couldn’t fully place them or understand their roles. It’s also full of characters that really don’t like smiling and really fight it when they can feel one breaking across their faces. Maybe this is linked to the emotions tied to the job.
The missions really sucked me in and I was totally engaged during those. The main mission was the definition of a page turner and I couldn’t get enough.
Overall I enjoyed this - it’s an action packed, strong and well written first book in a trilogy.
Thank you Rei.
“…fear liked authority even when authority was standing nowhere useful.”

I would like to thank to Rei Fang for providing me with an ARC of Fawkes Flight!
This was such a good and engaging start to the FAWKES Trilogy. First of all I really liked the writing voice and I felt swept in to the world from the very first chapter. One thing I loved right away was how the story throws you straight into the action. You’re immediately introduced to the main characters, the world they operate in, and the tension between Eleanor and Evander that clearly promises more conflict down the line.
The book is packed with action, covert missions, and high-stakes situations, but it never loses sight of its characters. Even when the siblings are focused on surviving the mission at hand, you can still see their different moral compasses influencing the choices they make, which added a lot of depth to the story.
The sibling dynamic was easily my favorite part, but I’m also really excited to see where the found family elements go from here because they have so much potential.
Overall, Fawkes Flight is a fast-paced espionage thriller with compelling characters and plenty of intrigue. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next in the series!

This one had me hooked from the jump. Espionage thriller, breakneck pacing, reads like it’s already storyboarding itself for a movie.
What got me most was Eleanor and Evander. Estranged siblings thrown back into each other’s orbit, and somehow the years apart melt away the second it actually matters. That’s what gives the action real weight, watching loyalty resurface in two people who’d stopped expecting it from each other. There’s one line, “You still with me?” “Always” and it hits different knowing how much distance came before it.
Book one of a trilogy and I’m already not okay waiting for book two. This needs to be a movie, no notes.
Honoured doesn’t even cover it, thank you for letting me read this early as an ARC 🙏

FAWKES FLIGHT is a timeless espionage adventure that will grip the hearts of spy thriller fans. The pace is quick and the adventures are plenty, and the characters are sharp and quick-witted while performing their operational duties with the utmost dedication. The novel is an excellent spy thriller that delivers authentic tellings of clandestine operations and exasperating real agency bureaucracy, while being distinctively fronted by an unlikely brother and sister duo—namely Evander Fawkes and his sister Eleanor Fawkes—and the tension between them drives a major emotional part of the story.
If you are a fan of the sibling tension and rivalry, and the familial awkward-love that happens between family members who are forced to work together, especially in the hit TV series Supernatural helmed by fictional brothers Sam and Dean Winchester, then you will fall in love with this book which is the first instalment of the FAWKES Trilogy series by this wonderful debut author from Singapore.
The team of characters are well-written. I’ve fallen in love with each of these characters and wish to see more of them in subsequent books! Additionally, the primary star of this novel is the plot, and readers will enjoy the thrilling plot as the secret agents embark across two electrifying cases across the Americas. The pace is quick and the plot flow is exciting, and readers would be flipping pages to find out what happens next.
If you love spy novels by espionage masters such as John le Carré, Ian Fleming and Kate Quinn, then you will love FAWKES FLIGHT by Rei Fang, now available everywhere.

I was honored to be asked to be part of the ARC team for Fawkes Flight. Huge thanks to Rei Fang for the opportunity.
This fast-paced, cinematic espionage thriller is packed with detailed tactical operations, high-stakes missions, and plenty of action. Rei Fang creates a believable world of covert operations where every decision carries weight and every mission has consequences.
What I loved most was the relationship between Eleanor and Evander. Their sibling dynamic adds emotional depth to the story, balancing the action with themes of loyalty, trust, and sacrifice. As the stakes rise, so does the emotional impact of the choices they face.
With polished writing, compelling characters, and expertly executed tactical details, Fawkes Flight is a fantastic start to the FAWKES Trilogy.
And after reading the sneak peek of Fawkes Spiral, I’m already invested and can’t wait to see what happens next!

Thank you Rei Fang for the opportunity to read this ARC - I was honored to be asked to be part of your team of early readers!
To be honest, this isn’t a genre that I have much experience reading, but my Dad loved to read spy thrillers and action/ adventure novels, and he would always talk about them with me. So after I read the synopsis, I knew I wanted to give this genre a try in his memory ♥️ And I am so glad that I did.
I was so incredibly impressed with this book! It truly read like an action-packed movie, with the perfect pace and balance between suspense and emotional depth. I loved the dual POV of siblings Evander and Eleanor, and getting both sides of every experience and high-stakes situation. The character development throughout the book was genius - witty (and sometimes snarky) banter between team members and siblings will make you laugh out loud! Overall, this was a super enjoyable start to the Fawkes Trilogy, and I am so excited for what’s next!

Thank you @reifangauthor for a digital copy of this incredible book! I loved every moment of this story, the plot, the setting, and all the characters! I thoroughly enjoyed the action-packed chapters just as much as the chapters with character growth or team bonding moments.
I loved the dynamic between the siblings Eleanor and Evander Fawkes! One needed precision and clean cut plans, and the other was able to act on a gut feeling mixed with experience. I also really enjoyed the bonding of the team and how they trusted Eleanor despite being new.
The writing was paced so well and super easy to follow. I felt like I was a part of this team and personally involved in their missions. I jumped for joy when the team were successful and got nervous when things seemed to be going awry.
I am so excited to read book 2 in this trilogy!

Looking for an espionage book that keeps you on your edge through the whole time, then look no further. Fawkes Flight is fast paced, and with smooth prose that feels like a motion picture. Well written and easy to understand if you are new to the genre. The story is full of high stake scenarios which feel realistic.
My favourite part was the relationship between Eleanor and Evander (love that name). Two estranged siblings that are trying to find their way back to each other while saving the world. They are the complete opposite, making their relationship awkward and cute. A controlled protective older brother, and an impulsive little sister eager to prove herself, was the heart of the story for me. I was looking forward to every time they were on a mission together as I knew their personalities will constantly make them struggle. The moment I started clutching my pearls was the post card part, fearing that it will break my heart in the future books 😭 The relationship was beautifully written, with awkward moments between the siblings and glimpses of remembering their childhoods. It felt natural, a slow rebuild that both needed.

I was thrilled to have received an ARC of this book before release and WOW what a start to this trilogy!! Trying to keep the review spoiler-free here, but the missions we follow these twins on genuinely keeps you on the edge of your seat! The dynamic between Eleanor and Evander was such a great touch on an already awesome action story. Also, Rei Fang is an incredible writer- their writing style had me anxious, laughing, sad, fulfilled, and everything in between. I cannot WAIT for the next one!!!

I can’t wait to see where it goes next!!
Super grateful for this ARC💖

The dynamic of the characters was fantastic! The different ‘missions’ will keep you sucked into the story. This was a great start to the trilogy and I can’t wait for book #2!

Wasn’t expecting to get this invested. Genuinely surprised by how much I ended up caring about Eleanor and Evander. The missions are fun and easy to follow, but the sibling dynamic is what made me keep turning pages.
Their relationship has a lot of history without the book over-explaining everything, which I appreciated. You can tell they care about each other, but it’s not overly sentimental.
The pacing feels almost like an action movie. Tense and fast and unputdownable from start to finish. I’ll definitely read the next one.

“Evander set two rules for this morning. One: don’t coach. Two: don’t flinch. The first rule was professional. The second was family, which made it harder to obey.”
Fawkes Flight is an incredible debut. I went into this expecting a spy thriller and came away mostly wondering how on earth Rei Fang manages to write prose this good. Every line feels deliberate and beautifully crafted. If you handed me a random page without telling me what I was reading, I genuinely might have guessed literary fiction. Rei’s prose is elegant, evocative, and absolutely packed with emotion. Yet the story itself reads like a proper action thriller. It felt like I was watching a movie!
There is clearly a lot of knowledge behind the special-ops world, from the jargon and procedures to the tiny details that make the whole thing feel so authentic. One of the things I found particularly fascinating was just how much of the job involves administration and paperwork. I came for spies and covert operations; I did not expect to be so thoroughly educated in the bureaucratic realities of the profession. The debrief/AAR scene was especially interesting and gave me a glimpse into a world I know very little about. It reminded me a little of Netflix’s The Recruit, although Fawkes Flight feels less dark.
I loved the decision to centre the story around a brother-and-sister relationship. I’ll admit that initially I wondered whether a romantic relationship might have worked better, but Rei completely won me over. By the end, I couldn’t imagine Eleanor and Evander as anything other than siblings. Their relationship felt much more distinctive and emotionally compelling because of it. And the pivotal moment when they use their childhood nicknames? Oof. That hit me much harder than I expected. It’s little moments like that that make the sibling dynamic work so well. (I also loved the supporting characters, Nate and Yuna! Found family is one of favourite tropes!)
And then there’s that bonus chapter. No spoilers, but WHAT?! I genuinely did not see that coming. Consider me officially invested!

This has a good sibling squabble and to be honest you don't get many books now a days which concentrates on siblings as main characters. The book is a spy thriller which is not my usual reading but still good. The usual actions,fightings,missions and team work were there.
I’ll be honest—the beginning was a bit confusing. The missions lacked enough background, leaving me wondering where they came from and who was behind them. I also couldn’t connect emotionally with the characters. The cover could be more eye-catching too. Overall, it’s a 3/5 read for me, but I’m adding an extra star for the author’s effort: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5.

This book is a fast paced spy thriller, about a brother and sister working together and learning to trust each other.
I liked the dynamic as I feel you never really get many brother/ sister main characters and I liked how their relationship developed throughout the book
It is a fast paced read and I could have easily stayed up to carry on reading it
Overall it was a good read, well written and I enjoyed it . This is book 1 of 3

Thank you to @reifangauthor for giving me an arc copy of her new book, Fawkes Flight!
This book reads like your typical spy movie. It jumped right into action and their missions were extremely detailed as they went through with them and saving the day.
As much as I enjoyed that, I can’t lie it confused the hell outta me lol. I was like oh man we’re fighting crime already, alright! There wasn’t a ton of detail about who they work for or why, just mostly context clues I suppose?
This wasn’t my typical read but I still enjoyed it. It was entertaining and nerve wracking, even if I didn’t quite know what was happening! This will be part of a trilogy so I’m looking forward to reading the next two as well!
Thanks Rei!
