There has been no shortage of vampire and werewolf novels in recent years. I was wondering how a new werewolf book could possibly bring about something new and original. Somehow, someway, Kathleen Peacock thought of an intriguing plot, wrote some fantastic characters, gave them life, unique voices, strong personalities, and wrapped it up in this lovely novel full of mystery, friendship, and loyalty.

What makes this plot unique is obvious from the start: The werewolves are out. The pub More...

"while trying to choose between the human boy who loves her and the troubled werewolf who saves her life."

I’ve been reading a lot of “friendship” books lately and this one tops them all. I love the heart of the story being about the loyalty and devotion that a friendship should have, but often doesn’t. Mac believes she would know everything about her best friend Amy, but a year after Amy’s brutal murder she starts investigating and finds things she never knew.

Mac begins investigating due to the arrival of the Trackers. The trackers are anarchical thugs that have tattoos on the side of ther More...

I don't even know where to begin, this book was that good. Start to finish. It captured my attention from the first page. I fell in love with the main characters (the good ones). The author presents them in a way that you are able to feel their every emotion.....every experience they go throng, you feel like you are right there with them. The book was super suspenseful. And when I read the last page and realized I would have to wait probably well over a year to get the next one in the trilogy... More...

First Impressions: I fell head over heels in love with Hemlock’s cover a few months ago, but then I read the synopsis and started having second thoughts about reading this one. It’s about werewolves, and I don’t particularly care for werewolves. At least I didn’t, but they are starting to grow on me now. I made up my mind that I wanted to give this book a chance because it sounded very different and the synopsis is un More...

Hemlock left me feeling wishy washy so this might seem like a wishy washy review.

Parts of it were really strong. The character's voice was clear. The romantic love triangle was angstatic particularly at the beginning. Several of the werewolf descriptions - the bone crunching transformations, the feel of fur/heat - were well done and beautifully written.

I was left with two "holes" of enjoyment - hence the two lacking stars.

The first hole is that Hemlock tri More...

I read all 400 pages in 24 hours. I can't give you a full review but I can say this. Its one of the best mysteries I have ever read. I had tons of theories going through my head and yeah, they were all wrong but let's not dwell on my uber power to not take a hint. The werewolf lore was interesting and there was a small dystopic vibe for their plight. The bad guy was supremely bad and I wanted him to meet the long end of a pitchfork all through the novel. The protagonist was smart and unobservan More...

Really fun story, I fell right into it. The writing is very good, but I feel like there's somehow something missing. I did like the characters, though, and Kyle is definitely dreamy... There's something about a person willing to sacrifice themselves for you and all that.

May 08, 2012 Man May and June 2012 are the months to buy books. I am going to try and get an ARC of this book because I so WANT to read this book!

HEMLOCK is a fantastic, unputdownable mystery that had me on the edge of my seat! I didn't want to leave this group of characters or the town of Hemlock, both of which felt so familiar and like old friends by the book's end. Mac is a realistically strong, smart heroine, and the people around her are equally compelling. Can't wait to see what happens in Book 2!

1 star redacted for love triangle.

Loved the story and the characters but really, really wanted a story where there was just a good platonic friendship between a girl and a guy who wasn't gay or dating her best friend.
