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.
Kathleen Peacock’s thrilling novel is the first in the Hemlock trilogy, a spellbinding urban fantasy series filled with provocative questions about prejudice, trust, lies, and love -quoted from Goodreads

I am really looking forward to reading this! I love that it's a paranormal, murder mystery with what sounds like laced with a bit of romance. This book is definitely moving up on my TBR list. I was fortunate to receive an ARC of Hemlock at ALA and I can't wait to sit down and read it. I'll have my review up for it in April.
The other day on twitter there was discussion about Hemlock's US vs UK cover. Since I love them both, I wanted to share with you what the UK cover looks like. *hint* Look really closely at the cover and what Mac is looking back at.... there's something in the trees.
What book are you waiting on?
