YAmazing Race



Welcome to my stop on the YAmazing Race with MGnificent prizes, a crazy whirlwind blog hop featuring over 50 debut authors and prize packs featuring ARCs, gift certificates, swag, and more! If you haven’t yet been to the Apocalypsies website, please click here to start from the beginning and read the complete rules. Now on to the race!

Read the Hemlock synopsis below and stay sharp because you'll have to answer a question about it back on the Apocalypsie blog at the end of this leg of the race.


Coming May 8th from Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of HarperCollins (add to Goodreads)

Mackenzie and Amy were best friends. Until Amy was brutally murdered.

Since then, Mac’s life has been turned upside down. She is being haunted by Amy in her dreams, and an extremist group called the Trackers has come to Mac’s hometown of Hemlock to hunt down Amy’s killer: A white werewolf.

Lupine syndrome—also known as the werewolf virus—is on the rise across the country. Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to control.

Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy’s murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, secrets about Amy’s boyfriend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her life at risk.

Got that? Great! Want an extra chance to win some Hemlock swag? Leave a comment on this post by 12:00 AM EST January 23rd, 2012 for a chance to win one of two Hemlock swag packs (signed bookmark, Hemlock postcard, stickers, and a Hemlock mini-card). Open internationally. Winners will be announced on Monday, January 23rd.

Ready for the next stop on the race? Click here to visit Jay Kristoff, author of Stormdancer.

UPDATE: The swag contest on this blog is now closed. Thanks so much to everyone who entered. I'm kinda overwhelmed at the response!
