Mackenzie Reed

Author. Reader. Storyteller.

Hey, I’m Mackenzie.

I’m a reader, storyteller, content creator, pizza enthusiast, over-user of em dashes, and writer of YA thrillers featuring clever teens making questionable choices, including my debut novel, THE ROSEWOOD HUNT, and upcoming release, THE WILDE TRIALS. I appreciate you taking a second to visit my world. Stay awhile?

I’ve been a writer my entire life, but lately I’ve found a cozy nook in the YA thriller space with my books THE ROSEWOOD HUNT and THE WILDE TRIALS. My stories are perfect for fans of Karen McManus’ thrilling mysteries and Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ The Inheritance Games.

Check out my books!
