Brief Summary Of The Book 'Hemlock' By Kathleen Peacock

Improved Essays
The book Hemlock is a romance, mystery fiction book written by Kathleen Peacock that revolves around a high schooler named Mac and how her life was turned upside down due to her best friend, Amy's death. The reason I chose this book is when I first read the blurb, the plot caught my attention. Also, the genre of this book falls under the type of books I like. In the beginning of the book, when I discovered that the cause of a charming and wealthy teenager's death was due to an infamous white werewolf and her best friend and boyfriend ditching her; I was flabbergasted. I was wondering why would she walk the streets alone in the middle of the night when she knows there has been a serial killing involving a certain white werewolf. To make matters …show more content…
As the leader threatened Mac, her saviors came just in time to kill the leader but Ben got away. Mac went home and comforted Tess when Ben left. I sympathized for Tess, I know she really loved Ben and so did Ben but since his identity is revealed he has to leave. Back in Mac's room, Kyle left a note for her saying that he'll leave for rehabilitation camp specified for werewolves. Although I saw that coming, I really hoped for Mac and Kyle to become a couple even if that causes Jason pain. I really liked this book and thought the plot and was really interesting so I went for the second book. Throughout this book, I had many questions and thoughts about the story. For example, it was told that Mac has been haunted by her best friend Amy. When I finished the book I thought about why Amy would haunt her. In the beginning, I thought was because Jason was in love with her. But I slowly changed my mind when I realized how Amy helped her solve problems throughout the book. I guess Amy wanted to help her solve her death and help the werewolves. In the book, Amy's father was a supporter for helping the werewolves gain more rights and she gave hints or lead Mac to

    Although the story didn't involve as much action as an usual murder mystery, the characters were quite adorable, not only because of the fact that they were sheep, but because of their quirky, humorous personalities. The plot did go a little bit slow, and there were interludes between clues, but when the plot developed, it built up suspense and excitement. The main characters were fully developed, and each have their own strengths and weaknesses. There were some parts that gave me a laugh, and I quite enjoyed the simplicity of the novel. I didn't feel like the ending was rushed, unlike other novels where the author seems to just get to the resolution as soon as possible.…

    At the beginning of the book, I felt bad for Jennifer Thompson. My mind was not prepared for what I was about to read.

I also never put much thought in the victim 's role in the matter or what part they played in the process of the trial. Most of all, I had a belief that if you were truly innocent there is no way that you could be convicted of a crime that you did not commit.…

The fantasy novel, Howl’s Moving Castle, by British author Diana Wynne Jones, first published in 1986 by Greenwillow Books of New York, is no exception to this statement.
