8:00 AM

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine spotlighting upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.

Release Date: May 8, 2012
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books

Summary (from author's website): 
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.

I am very excited to get my hands on Kathleen Peacock's debut novel Hemlock! I would buy the book for the gorgeous cover alone, but it also helps that the premise sounds fantastic as well! I can't wait to see the new spin the Canadian author will take on werewolves, but the mystery of Amy's brutal murder and the romance elements are also appealing to me too. I have high hopes for Hemlock!

  5. I'm not big on werewolves, but I have to say the cover is beautiful! Also, I didn't realize she was a Canadian author — that's always a bonus :D
