Waiting on Wednesday (53)


Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock

Mackenzie and Amy were best friends. Until Amy was brutally murdered.

Since then, Mac's life has been turned upside down. She is being haunted by Amy in her dreams, and an extremist group called the Trackers has come to Mac's hometown of Hemlock to hunt down Amy's killer: A white werewolf.

Lupine syndrome—also known as the werewolf virus—is on the rise across the country. Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to control.

Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy's murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, secrets about Amy's boyfriend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her life at risk.

Hemlock is the first novel in a spellbinding urban fantasy trilogy filled with provocative questions about prejudice, trust, lies, and love.


Release date: 2012 (Katherine Tegen Books)

I know some people think the werewolf "trend" has long since passed, but I love the sound of this one- especially the mystery aspect.

What are you waiting on?

  1. Werewolves have been a favorite of mine for years now, and even though some people might be getting bored of them, I'll still sink my teeth into any good werewolf read!

    I hadn't heard of this one, so thanks for sharing! (:
