Hemlock is a werewolf tale of murder most foul. It’s available from Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of HarperCollins in North America and Simon & Schuster in the UK. A few people have said nice things about it. Including Publishers Weekly: “Jacob fans rejoice: Peacock’s debut is loaded with werewolves both creepy and hot. Mac’s smart and believable voice will leave readers looking forward to more.”
