Hemlock /Kathleen Peacock/ 416 pages

There's a new extremist group in town and they're here to rid the world of werewolves, even the good, peace-loving, non-human eating werewolves! The "Trackers" have been sent to Mac's hometown to find her best friend's killer, a white werewolf. The government has been tracking people that have been infected with the Lupine syndrome for years now and they are sending them away to protect the population. The Trackers have pretty much taken over, no questions asked. There have been plenty of werewolf/vampire novels in the last few years and I'm not sure this one really stands out in the pack! The main character, Mac and two of her friends, who happen to be guys, try to solve the mystery of the violent attacks. Of course Mac, is torn between the two guys, hence the love triangle that seems to be ever present in most young adult novels.  This book is more of a mystery than a romance, and a little scary, allowing  a certain group to come in and try to rid society of an entire race. I believe this is book one in a planned trilogy.
