DELUXE EDITION--a deluxe hardback edition featuring stenciled edges, a foil case stamp, exclusive endpapers, and a detailed map.
Blackthorn is a brand-new, tautly-written, deliciously gothic romance where A Discovery of Witches meets The Haunting of Hill House by USA Today bestselling author J.T. Geissinger.
The return of a prodigal daughter. A mysterious town and even more mysterious house. Buried secrets. A missing body. Feuding families. And a truth so explosive, it could destroy them all.
Twelve years ago, Maven Blackthorn fled her small hometown, leaving behind the wreckage of her mother’s suspicious death. In New York City, she built a new life—one without the shadows of the past and the whispers of “witch” that always haunted her. But now, drawn back for her grandmother’s funeral, Maven and her daughter, Bea, step onto Blackthorn soil once more, only to find themselves thrust into a fresh nightmare: her grandmother’s body has vanished.
The Blackthorns immediately suspect the Crofts—the ruthless titans of Croft Pharmaceuticals, whose bitter blood feud with the Blackthorns has spanned generations. But when Maven comes face-to-face with Ronan Croft, the son of her mother’s suspected killer and the only man she ever loved, the past and present collide with explosive consequences.
As long-buried family secrets claw their way to the surface, betrayal lurks behind every whisper, and old vendettas ignite anew. The deeper Maven digs for answers, the more dangerous the game becomes. And in a town where the dead won’t stay buried, neither will the truth—no matter who it destroys.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Make sure to peek at the trigger warnings—this one gets dark.
This book was straight-up gothic gold. Think small town with big secrets, a crumbling estate full of whispers, and a dark second-chance romance so intense it made my heart ache. Maven is the kind of heroine you root for, fierce and flawed, and Ronan? Let’s just say the tension between them could light the whole town on fire. Every chapter peeled back another juicy layer, and I couldn’t stop reading until I hit the last page. Absolutely addictive.
