Fans of Maggie Stiefvater and the hit television show True Blood will flock to this first book in the supernatural mystery series set in a town where werewolves live in plain sight.
Mackenzie Dobson's life has been turned upside down since she vowed to hunt her best friend Amy's killer: a white werewolf. Lupine syndrome--also known as the werewolf virus--is on the rise across the country, and bloodlust is not easy to control. But it soon becomes clear that dangerous secrets are lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, Mac's hometown--and she is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her in grave danger.
Kathleen Peacock's thrilling debut novel provides readers with a mystery that Kimberly Derting, author of The Body Finder, calls "clever and frightening," while Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of Firelight, raves: "Forget every werewolf book you've ever read. This one breaks the mold."
- Supernatural Mystery: Mac vows to find the white werewolf who murdered her best friend, Amy, but the town of Hemlock has secrets of its own.
- Friends to Lovers: She's always counted on her best friends Kyle and Jason, but as the hunt intensifies, long-held loyalties--and feelings--are put to the test.
- Urban Fantasy: In a world where werewolves are out in the open, a vigilante group called the Trackers arrives in town, and Mac must decide who the real monsters are.
- Secrets and Lies: Everyone in Hemlock is hiding something, from the town's most powerful families to Mac's own circle of friends.
