I loved it!

It was so enticing that I couldn’t put it down, this book grabbed my interest from the very first page. I couldn’t put it down, I had to know what happened next. The story is well written with a very good storyline. This is Book Three of the Rise of the Red Claws series. This series had me on the edge of my seat. The author creates a world with fully-formed, vivid characters that you take to heart very easily. Love is found in the most unexpected of places. The twists and turns are unexpected and at times astonishing. Prepare to fall in love with reading again.

A thrilling, unpredictable and emotional saga that weaves vampires, shifters, deception, magic and an ancient prophecy that will determine the fate of humanity. If you love books featuring a strong female protagonist, supernatural thrills, small towns, intrigue and a spellbinding plot, then this will definitely become a new favourite. Experience the magic that has captivated so many readers

A sinister evil engulfs the world, but love can create warriors. Witness the beginning of the end, chaos reigns across the planet, and the forces of darkness spread their deadly shadow far and wide.

So with all that and more this story pulls you in and holds you tight. It’s a must read. I highly recommend to everyone.

Series review

Overall a good series with a few unexpected twists and pretty awesome characters.

I would be remiss if I didn’t say how much I enjoyed the following series when I first read it. Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1) by Stephenie Meyer New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2) by Stephenie Meyer Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3) by Stephenie Meyer Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4) by Stephenie Meyer Midnight Sun (The Twilight Saga, #5) by Stephenie Meyer
While this “Rise of the Red Claws” wasn’t exactly the same as “Twilight” it was very, very similar.

3 Star Series ⭐️⭐️⭐️

must read

Love this series cannot wait until the books come out on Devon and Lupita’s daughter and Nell and Christopher’s daughter hope they are both good. And they fight against evil together. The only thing I hate is, there is no name for me to put on a list to look for so I’m not really sure I’ll know when it comes out sadly.

Enjoyed this series

Interesting take on vampire lord and genealogy as the premise of the main characters with a unique prophetic plot. A positive blend of supernatural and human characters worked well throughout the story. Pure romance without over the top love scenes. Overall entertaining and would recommend.

Completed this series although I enjoyed it my thought still feel the twilight series was repeated throughout the story for me was rather mild perhaps a bit more grit would have enhanced elements Amara ending left unfinished along with some other lead characters ( perhaps for spin offs ) rated 3 stars with story geared for YA if you like easy reading then this book is for you

Well, I really enjoyed this book.I give it a 4 star just because I didn't really like the ending.That kind of left off at a cliffhanger a little bit. This is supposed to be the third and final book of the book series unless she plans to write a spin-off one day. But overall , I really enjoyed this series, and the second book was my favorite out of the full series.

Wow what a way to end it. But it seems it may not be the end???? I truly hope that somewhere in the future the story continues and we see what Was the future truly holds, but for now. Wow. This was good!!!!!

it is a good read, I want to know what’s next

You get to the end and the epilog and you realize the series has not ended. It’s that or a new storyline is unfolding. Either way, I am waiting to find out what happens with the prophecy….book 3 can’t be the end!

A good read from the first to last page. Many unexpected exciting twists & turns.

I couldn't put the books down. Ends with a cliffhanger ... hoping there is a fourth book about the child.

Honestly could not finish

Although not horribly written, at 27% finished, I just couldn't continue. Bored out of my mind. Nothing has happened., and feels like book was forced to be written with no real purpose.
