Thornhill: A Hemlock Novel
Mackenzie Dobson lives in a world turned upside down after the revelation that werewolves exist. When Mac and her friend Jason head to a werewolf rehabilitation camp to find Mac’s new love, Kyle, finding the place turns out to be the easy part after Mac and Jason are captured and held against their will. Peacock’s characters grapple with typical YA issues, such as identity, courage, and acceptance of self. Less dramatic and riveting than the series debut (Hemlock, 2012), this middle book sags with its lingering stay in the camp. Unanswered questions ensure readers will return for the next title. Grades 9-12. --Julie Trevelyan
