Book Review #320 - Claire de Lune (Claire de Lune #1) by Christine Johnson

Torn between two destinies?

Claire is having the perfect sixteenth birthday. Her pool party is a big success, and gorgeous Matthew keeps chatting and flirting with her as if she's the only girl there. But that night, she discovers something that takes away all sense of normalcy: she's a werewolf.

As Claire is initiated into the pack of female werewolves, she must deal not only with her changing identity, but also with a rogue werewolf who is putting everyone she knows in danger. Claire's new life threatens her blossoming romance with Matthew, whose father is leading the werewolf hunt. Now burdened with a dark secret and pushing the boundaries of forbidden love, Claire is struggling to feel comfortable in either skin. With her lupine loyalty at odds with her human heart, she will make a choice that will change her forever?

 

 

My Rating: 4/5

 

 

What I liked most about this book was that it was alot different to other YA Werewolf books. For starters the paranormal creature was female, and was the protagonist instead of the love interest like most other books.

 

 

I felt like the plot was lacking a bit. Not much happened throughout, and I didn't encounter any real surprises or plot twists. I was also let down a bit by the conclusion to Lisbeth acting weird as I thought it would be something more interesting that what it was.

 

 

I found Matthew to be a little weak. There wasn't much depth to him, in fact there wasn't much depth to any of the characters. I really didn't understand the purpose of Emily at all. I just found her distracting and annoying.
