Thornhill

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.

But to save the boy she loves, she must brave the secrets of the camp alone. What will she risk when she discovers the truth is more dangerous than the lies?

• Love Triangle Romance: Mackenzie is determined to save her werewolf boyfriend, Kyle. But what about Kyle’s best friend, the dangerous ex-Tracker who came to help her find him?
• Dystopian Fantasy Elements: Explore a world of government registration and brutal ‘rehabilitation’ camps, where having Lupine Syndrome is a death sentence.
• Forced Proximity: Trapped inside the walls of Thornhill, Mac and Kyle are closer than ever. But in a prison where everyone is a predator, that closeness might be the biggest danger of all.
• Forbidden Love: A human girl in a camp full of werewolves, Mac will do anything to protect the boy she loves. But who will protect her from the monsters inside—and from the secrets of her own past?

Mac can't lose another friend.
Even if he doesn't want to be found.

The ripple effect caused by the solving of her BFF Amy's murder has driven Mac's new love, Kyle, to leave Hemlock and disappear from her life forever. But Mac refuses to accept his decision, especially since it puts him in danger. So she sets out in search of Kyle with barely sober pal Jason—and Amy's all-seeing ghost—in tow.

Clues lead Mac to find Kyle in the most surprising place—a werewolf den located in the mountains of Colorado—but their reunion is cut short by a terrifying Tracker raid. Now Mac and Kyle find themselves trapped inside the tall electric fences of Thornhill, a rehabilitation camp for young werewolves. As she devises an escape plan, Mac uncovers dangerous secrets buried within the walls of Thornhill—and realizes that the risk to the people she loves is greater than ever before.

A skillfully plotted supernatural mystery with heart-stopping action and a compelling romance, Thornhill is Kathleen Peacock's extraordinary follow-up to her debut novel, Hemlock.
