I tend to prefer contemporary/historical to paranormal (and ghost/witch stories to werewolf/vampire/creature books) but this one was pretty good. I'm interested in checking out the sequel although I wish I liked the cover for it more.The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-48430331037173097412013-06-23T23:17:58.138-04:002013-06-23T23:17:58.138-04:00I was a bit wary of this one, since I tend to not ...I was a bit wary of this one, since I tend to not be a very big fan of paranormal books. But you make it sound really good, so I'm kind of intrigued by Hemlock now! I'm not sure I'll read it right away, but I'll definitely keep it in mind.Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-13012740791387490402013-06-23T15:38:48.539-04:002013-06-23T15:38:48.539-04:00Oh, I loved this book!

Hey, I am a lover of well done love triangles so I don't think that would bother me either :) Although I'm also getting tired of the paranormal genre, it does sound interesting. And you liked it so bonus! <br /><br /><br />Alise @ <a href="http://www.readerswonderland.com" rel="nofollow">Readers In Wonderland</a>Alisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178388552763222269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-7381041468034966382013-06-22T16:05:53.962-04:002013-06-22T16:05:53.962-04:00I enjoyed this book as well!

Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan of the love triangle, but I did appreciate how it was subtle and more off to the side. The balance between character development, action, tension, and romance was all done very well, so I definitely liked that.<br /><br />Gorgeous review, Melissa! <3<br /><br />-Aneeqah @ <a href="http://mynotsorealife.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Not So Real Life</a>Aneeqahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352395407424623520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-82380338429971897372013-06-22T14:51:42.517-04:002013-06-22T14:51:42.517-04:00Glad to hear you liked this one, Melissa!

And as someone who is not a fan of love triangles I think the author handled it really well. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel now. ^^ Brilliant review! tthepageturnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175214824875744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-63335943397083327062013-06-22T11:46:34.847-04:002013-06-22T11:46:34.847-04:00Werewolf books have been pretty hit and miss for m...Werewolf books have been pretty hit and miss for me in the past. I do love Maggie Stiefvater's most recent books, but I never did feel a great deal of enthusiasm for her Wolves of Mercy Falls series. I guess I have just always preferred other paranormal creatures. Hemlock sounds like brilliant read though, so I'm looking forward to giving it a shot. Hopefully it will work for me as well as it did for you. :) Wonderful review, Melissa! I adore your blog layout, by the way.
