Description
In a world hidden within our own, magical beings live among us, capable of transforming into majestic animals… if they find their mate. Kingdoms of these enigmatic beings, called beastwalkers, have existed for centuries, each species governed by their own regal king and queen. One thing the courts crave above all else are the animi—human females who can unlock a beastwalker’s ability to shift into their animal forms.
Lola Katz is known for three things, talking too much, being obsessed with paranormal romance books, and her two-toned skin. Lola’s vitiligo makes her feel both invisible and a specimen under a microscope at the same time. The nineteen-year-old, New York City waitress has no plans further than attending community college and hanging out with her two besties, Katy and Maddie. But when she starts seeing men with exotic, animal-like features, Lola starts to believe she’s losing her grip on reality.
Then Lola meets Callon Leo, the prince of the Kingdom of Claws. Callon is handsome, enigmatic, and thinks of nothing else but his duty to his kingdom. When he uncovers the resurgence of animi abductions—a practice strictly forbidden by the council of shamans—he vows to put a stop to it by any means necessary. But Callon finds his focus shifting from his royal duties to thoughts of Lola, her captivating presence permeating his every waking moment.
At the same time, Lola cannot seem to banish thoughts of the enigmatic prince from her mind. As she unravels the truth behind Callon’s sudden interest in her, Lola discovers her own place within a supernatural conflict between the kingdoms, where love, loyalty, and her own unique power intertwine.
Reviews
Fantastic new series!!
5By SpeckahI really enjoyed the world building in this story. If I had the book in paperback, I probably would have wanted to throw it across the room, because I wasn’t ready for it to end. The characters in the book feel real, like the could walk out of the book into real life. When an author writes characters like that, it is much easier to relate and create the story you are reading in your mind. I really liked the twist in this story when compared to other shifter series, it really does make the females of the story toe to toe with the males in the story. Now I don’t have a problem with shifter series that have males protecting their females, its just nice to read a change up to formula. I look forward to reading the next in the series and any of Quinn’s future books.SO GOOD!!!!
5By Canoodle_Doodle😋In the book kingdom of claws it says that Lola love shapeshifting book characters, and after reading this book I honestly feel like Lola!! This book makes me want to read more and more. This is one of my favorite book series. While I was working I was so anxious to finish work so I could go and read the book, I rate a 5/5 because this author and this book deserves it for being such a descriptive and creative book!! Have a good day!!! ❤️🦁❤️🐆Review
5By Arob2523Omg I’m in love with the Shifter series and I wasn’t sure I would love it as much as the GWS but I DO I DO I DO!!! These books are AWESOME!! I shouldn’t have been worried because Quinn wrote them and EVERY book she writes is just AWESOME!! I’ve read both books and I can’t wait for the third I’m freaking out because I need more lol!!! My rating for the Shifter books is definitely 10/10!! ❤️ 🦁 🐺 🐍Always amazing,
5By sadmkgalQuinn never ceases to amaze me every book draws me in and the characters are funny, sweet, lovable always hot, sexy and loyally protective. The stories are great without trash talk and they stay pg 13Highly recommend it!
5By India2004Interesting story with 3 Best friends that discover the world of beast walkers exist. They balance each other with their wits and personalities. Some parts are slow and predictable but there is plenty of fun interactions to keep you entertained. Can’t wait for the next.Great start!
5By Wood WitchAuthor Quinn Loftis has scored a TOUCHDOWN with this first book in her new shifter series!! “Kingdom of Claws” is well written with strong female characters, but they must be related to the infamous GWS trio somehow with their similar personalities. The urban storyline is a little darker, slightly twisted, and the new shifters are potentially more ferocious. As we have come to expect from Loftis, she leaves us anxiously craving the next installment. Will be interesting to see how these characters mature and the story develops.Kingdom of Claws left me breathless!
5By newman821I mean WOW!! I could not put this book down. I didn’t realize I was nearing the end of the book or chapter and wham! It was over! I screamed no!!! And almost had a panic attack. I NEED to know what happens to Katy and the KOV and how the relationship grows with the two love lions! Incredible story Quinn!Feels a little messy and rushed
4By Lilwiccan1This story felt a little rushed with a ton of different angles thrown in. The girl trio also felt like a weak version of Jacque, Jennifer and Sally. Jen’s dry wit and snark will always reign supreme imo. I am intrigued enough to see where it leads and what this author does with a new world of a whole lot of shifting species!Love ❤️
5By AlemarmanNo real words other than when is the next book coming?!!!!A new type of shifter series!
5By Drea2892Kingdom of Claws is such a great read. At first I was a little nervous to read a multiple shifter book because they tend to confuse me but of course with the incredible world building that Quinn always manages to do, it was no problem at all. This new world has at least 10 different types of shifters but their backstory is very different from that of the grey wolves. We do get to see the beginnings of that soulmate love that Quinn writes so beautifully about. Kingdom of Claws follows an avid reader who loves to read supernatural romance books and actually ends up living out the type of books that she reads. She is part of a best friend trio and they are absolutely hilarious. Lola’s story is really awesome and something new for all of Quinn’s readers to jump into. Please do not hesitate to get this book!Wow.
5By GatemeisterQuinn, you did it, again. Masterful world-building is not as easy as you make it look—but Kingdom of the Claws is the beginning of another amazing journey for your readers: the new ones and “the Pack.” Thanks for the ride!Awesome!
5By Unsatisfied Gal“The Kingdom Of Claws” is about a new group of shifters. Quinn has introduced at least ten various types of shifters in this new series along with the trio of best friends that is a signature staple of Quinn’s writing. This book however centers around Lola and Callon, who to say the least are as imperfect and as real as it gets which is appreciated because that makes them easy to relate to and lovable. The stubbornness of our male lead is frustrating and our female lead cannot keep her thoughts in her head. It is comical at times and I look forward to the rest of Callon and Lola’s journey in future books within this series. Quinn’s ability to create supernatural worlds within the normal world is unrivaled and she does so seamlessly making it somehow seem normal and real. It is this wonderful magical fictional world that she has created for us to enjoy. There are writers and then there are storytellers. Storytellers have this gift of taking you out of this world and transporting you to the once upon a time, far, far away or to a city like New York in present day such as is the case with this book and makes you feel as though you are living in this amazing secret world. If you enjoy this genre then Quinn Loftis is definitely the author for you. So pick up a copy and enjoy this crazy magical ride along with the rest of us in the Quinnverse!!You’re gonna love this.
5By woodywbQuinn has done it again. This book does not disappoint. This is an amazing story and you fall in love with the characters. I love that not everyone is perfect but they love each other and support each other. This is such a great read and I can’t wait for the next one to come out.Fantastic!
5By bahamamama2319I have been a longtime fan of Quinn’s writing, but to be honest I was a tad skeptical of picking up this shifter romance after many failed attempts at reading other authors’ takes on the genre. But boy was I proved wrong! Kingdom of Claws opened my eyes to a whole new fantasy world and immediately drew me in. The characters, story, lore, and romance were all fantastically written. I loved every second of reading this book, and I cannot wait to see how the rest of the series plays out.Kingdom of Claws
5By 86Amysss86This is book 1 in Kingdom of Claws by Quinn Loftis. If you have read any of Quinn’s other books and loved them then you will not be disappointed in this one. It has her unique writing style that makes you feel what the characters are going through. It’s full of laughter, suspense and shocking moments. I loved the Lion shifters and getting hints of other shifters that are coming. I couldn’t put the book down and it was over way too soon. Looking forward to reading more of this wonderful series.Freaking incredible
5By ERuiz94I was lucky enough to be an ARC for this book. I have to admit Quinn’s Wolf series is my ultimate favorite series so I was worried this new series wouldn’t live up to the wolf books…. Well I was wrong! This book brought what I love about the wolf books but in its own way. I didn’t feel like it was the wolf series all over again but I think it’s just as good. The friendships are true and so hilarious but not only for the girls but also the men. I thought that was a nice touch. The relationship between the main characters in rocky and I liked seeing the struggle of the main male as it’s not something you always see. I loved all the characters and I can’t wait for the next book. This is the first shifter book outside of wolves that I truly enjoy. Highly recommend!This was an intriguing book
5By MlsimmLet me say that I enjoy the writing style of this author. She has a way of drawing you until you just can’t stop reading. This book makes you laugh out loud and you don’t want to put it down. I cannot wait until the next book come out.Entirely and Completely Captivating
5By Ma'am hockey freakI’m always super impressed with Quinn Loftis’s series and I love them all!!! They are those books that have you hooked from page one to “You hope the series never ends!!” So!!! When the same author creates a new series with the same level of intrigue and intensity you have become accustomed to and admire, but delivers an Entirely and Completely different Captivating world while keeping you just as hooked and enthralled. You just say WOW!!!! Then you pray pray pray… book 2-100 don’t make you wait too long!!!
