Kennedy, aka New York Times bestselling romance author Elle Kennedy! Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.

Reviews for Thornbird

""A taut, empathetic thriller.” – Publishers Weekly, Starred Review ""Appealingly creepy and dark.” – Kirkus Reviews ""Incredibly dark and tense, Thornbird is a masterful thriller that bubbles with suspense from page one. It never shies away from its deeply unsettling premise, and Ryan Shipley is a flawed, heart-breaking main character whose journey to uncover the truth about her family's past is utterly gripping. I loved it"" Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills
