Description

Thornhill is the second book in a supernatural mystery trilogy perfect for readers who love Richelle Meade and HBO's hit drama True Blood. Kathleen Peacock's extraordinary follow-up to her debut novel, Hemlock, features heart-stopping action and a sizzling romance.

Mackenzie's new love, Kyle, plans to turn himself in to the Lupine Syndrome Registration Bureau and enroll in a rehabilitation camp, where he can live with other werewolves. But Mac refuses to accept his decision, especially since the camps are rumored to be torturous. When she follows him there, she uncovers dangerous secrets buried within the walls of Thornhill—a prison for the young and infected—and realizes that the risk to the people she loves is greater than ever before.


To save the boy she loves, Mackenzie must go inside Thornhill. But what she finds is a conspiracy that will test every loyalty she has.


  • A Dangerous Love Triangle: She’s there to save her werewolf boyfriend, Kyle. But his best friend, Jason—a member of an anti-werewolf group—is the one by her side.
  • Secret Societies at War: Between the government's sinister rehabilitation camps and the ruthless Trackers hunting werewolves, Mac is caught in a battle where she can't trust anyone.
  • A High-Stakes Rescue Mission: Thornhill isn’t a camp; it’s a prison designed to break its inmates. Getting Kyle out will mean uncovering a secret that could get them all killed.
  • Paranormal Romance with Bite: In a world that wants to hunt, cage, or kill werewolves, Mac's forbidden love for Kyle is the most dangerous act of all.
