Hemlock Kathleen Peacock Books

Werewolves, plot twits, and a murder mystery? Yes please! Kathleen Peacock's debut will definitely satisfy the desires of YA fans looking for a great paranormal book to pick up and read. She did a fabulous job at engaging me with her book. Not only did I love that her werewolves were apart of society, I enjoyed the characters, the setting, and the lore. This book definitely breaks the mold of werewolf books that tend to blend together with their similarities. Kathleen created a fascinating plot line that made me want to keep reading. I wanted answers to the murder mystery, and I wanted to get to know her characters more. Believe me, there's some fabulous characters YA fans will definitely fall in love with.

I liked the way Hemlock flows and how the story is written. I enjoyed being thrown right into the middle of what's going on, and along with the characters, trying to figure things out as they do as the story progresses. I loved that. There's not a slow build up, but instead plenty of romance, action and plenty of mystery all intertwined together that kept the story in constant motion. Kathleen's twists are AWESOME! I didn't see some of those coming at all. That was so refreshing not being able to figure out what was going to happen next or who was behind the killings. I liked being able to figure things out at the same time Mac did.

Character wise, I enjoy a story with solid, well written characters and Hemlock has just that. Whether they're the good guys or bad guys, I found myself interested with each character and their role in the book. Mac (short for Mackenzie), was a character who grew on me as the story went along. She's someone that I got a little frustrated at times, and other times she's someone I really sympathized with. Overall she's someone I grew to admire. Her greatest strength is her incredible devotion to her cause, and to her friends and I loved that about her. I loved the romance in this book. It's one that doesn't take away from the book, but instead keeps the pace of the story going. This is how a love triangle should be, though it's not one of those where the girl can't choose between the two guys. This love triangle is one that's incredibly realistic and relatable.

The romantic leads themselves are fabulous! Kyle, Mac's best friend is someone you want to be around. There's more to him than meets the eye and I seriously loved the moments he and Mac have alone. Those moments are so bittersweet. I seriously adored him! Jason, the other love interest is a lot more complicated. He definitely takes the whole broken bad boy thing to a different level. Despite being mad at some (okay a lot) of his actions, it's hard staying mad at him once you get to know him. He seriously killed me with some of the things he does in this book, but then he turns around and does something unexpected and makes it so hard for me not to adore him as well. I really loved the history that Mac, Kyle and Jason all have together- being that they have been friends for a long time and are still dealing with their friend Amy's death from a werewolf. It's getting to the bottom of her mysterious death that fuels the mystery and the twists in this story.

Speaking of werewolves, I seriously loved the werewolf lore in this book and the twists that accompany it! I'm really hoping that book two goes into more details about the secret wolf society, because I want to know more. I liked that Kathleen gave me just enough to capture my interest with her werewolves and leaves me wanting more. If you're looking for bad guys, than wait till you read about the Trackers. They provided plenty of action in this story. Their sole purpose in this book is to hunt the killer werewolf that's lurking around Hemlock and in the process take out all other werewolves they find. I got their cause, but it's so twisted and totally wrong. Their mission to stop the werewolves turns into a hunt that puts Mac and her friends the direct path of danger as well as opposites of the war on werewolves.

If you're looking for a great paranormal read, I highly recommend picking this one up! There's plenty of action, romance, twists, and mystery that will wanting more when you're done with this book.

Hemlock Kathleen Peacock Books Reviews

I have to say, I was really disappointed with this book. I saw it at Barnes and Noble one night and it's been on my To-Read list for a long time. I got a notice on Bookbub that it was on sale and was excited to buy it. It wasn't really even worth the sale price. The character relationships were really annoying... You've got Mac, the main character, who's BFF, Amy, was killed by a werewolf attack. Then there's Kyle, Mac's other best friend, and Jason, Amy's former boyfriend and Mac's other, other best friend. Jason's acting out and Kyle's rock steady, until he's not. I guess what I mean is, you're given the impression that Kyle's always there for her, and a steady friend, but with both guys, it's this constant "you're my best friend, thanks for being here, I love you (even if I can't say it)" kind of deal, and then the next thing you know, it's "I can't be around you," or "I'm mad at you and don't want to talk to you," or "I need some space." There's no consistency and no one is happy with each other long enough for you to really feel like they are truly good friends, it's all just wishy washy nonsense. And then there's the huge fact that the whole book felt like a watered-down werewolf version of "Veronica Mars." I love "Veronica Mars," it was an awesome TV show, but this book really can't hold a candle to it. Mac is the Veronica of this book, Jason's the Logan but less "I both love and hate you Logan" and more just "you're really screwed up Jason," Kyle is like a Wallace/Duncan combo, and you've also got Weevil present in the form of Trey. Mac has dreams where Amy (Lilly) talks to her and then before you know it, Mac has decided to become a PI and solve the murder. I honestly imagined the cast of "Veronica Mars" the whole time I was reading. I'm half temped to buy/read the next book in the series just to see if there's a field trip and a bus goes over a cliff, but I think I'll save my time and money. If no one has realized it by this point, I would not recommend this book. Honestly, it wasn't terrible, the writing was fine, it was just so unoriginal and overdone. I'm a fast reader (I usually finish a book in a day or two), but this one took more like a week because I just wasn't interested enough in it. Okay, sorry...rant over.
