Claire De Lune is another debut novel that I have read nothing but great reviews for but I didn't like it as much as I hoped I would. There was just something about it that I didn't like and it got in the way of me fully enjoying the book.Claire Benoit is finally happy with her life. She didn't get the car she wanted but she did get a date with the guy of her dreams. The summer of her sixteenth birthday couldn't be better. That is, until she finds out she is a werewolf. How can things possibly work with Matthew when his father is trying to hunt her down? And who is the werewolf that is really killing humans?Claire was a pretty good main character. She was kind of shy and nervous with Matthew but brave when she was a wolf. I love characters that have more than one side to them. The only problem that I had with her was that she was whiny sometimes. I guess it was understandable though because she had just found out she was a werewolf. Other than Claire, I didn't like any of the wolves, not even Claire's mother. They were rude and seemed to look down on Claire just because she was younger. It got old after a while.The plot was kind of boring a lot of the time which I was not expecting. The most entertaining parts seemed to be when Claire was with Matthew and I found myself looking forward to those parts more than anything else. It did pick up towards the end though.Overall, Claire De Lune was pretty disappointing to me but I know others have enjoyed it. If you are a fan of werewolf stories than it's probably a book for you. This was just one that I could not get into.
