DYING CAN REALLY CHANGE A GIRL'S LIFE.
Chloe King is a normal girl. She goes to class (most of the time), fights with her mom, and crushes on a boy... or two. But around her sixteenth birthday, Chloe finds that perhaps she isn’t so normal after all. There’s the heightened night vision, the super fast reflexes – oh, and the claws.

Sometimes you read a book, start scratching your head and think 'how the heck did this get published?'
I read a lot of YA, both good and bad, and The Nine Lives of Chloe King definitely goes in the bad pile. First problem, the main character is unlikeable. Chloe is self-centered, selfish, irresponsible and has a filthy mouth. (some swearing in YA is permissible. Every teenager repeated screaming the 'F' word at each other and their mother is not). She's also a bad friend to her pals Paul and Amy....more

So before, I was just completely rooting for Alyec (aka Alex) because on the show he's so incredibly sexy, what with the accent and drop-dead gorgeous (but yet somewhat conventional) good looks.
However, while reading this book, I feel like Brian's feelings were better conveyed compared to the show, and in doing so, I found Brian to be more and more appealing, and somehow just right for Chloe to be with. The depth of his feelings for her can't possibly be compared to Alyec's. And his somewhat r...more

The only reason why I even got the drive to read the three books was solely out of pure curiosity and the fact that I watch the show. I didn't start out with any high expectations, but even then it all fell short of what I was hoping for.
A good portion of the first book consisted of Chloe dying, discovering her new abilities, and being extremely hormonal and deciding to toy with two guys at once(in that order). Sadly that last part was the only one of the three that kept me even a little interes...more

Like so many others, I started reading The Nine Lives of Chloe King because I saw the show, which I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of those situations where the show is actually better than the book. When I first opened the book I was immensely excited. It started out okay, not really as good as I expected but introductions are hard so I continued reading because I hope for more. Around 50 or 100 pages I was struggling so hard to g...more

Yes, apparently I do have a thing for reading books that were the basis for cancelled supernatural teen shows. Deal with it.
So this omnibus is 3 books in one, and honestly, it's not half bad. Here's the premise: A girl finds out she has feline abilities because she is descended from an ancient race called the Mai, and it really isn't nearly as cheesy as it sounds. She has heightened senses, acrobatic balance, and retractable claws on her hands and feet.
Oh, and 9 lives too, because that's the nam...more

On this page you see a lot of good reviews and bad. But forget them all! I didn't so much choose to read the book as did I have it thrown at me like a baseball, but when it was in my hands; I looked closer. Through the first book, Chloe caught my attention in ways that I will never forget. When she discovered her new powers, I was amazed. Through the entire first book, she held my attention. Each night, I was left begging for more. Although Chloe was very... sexual... it didn't sway my feelings...more

I've been anticipating this book ever since I heard about the show ABC family is making based on this book. I've read many books about shape shifting, but none were about a person who suddenly develops cat-like abilities!

My personal Pandora's box, is cliffhangers. I will know that a book is not very good, that I could be spending my time reading infinity better things, and yet, once cracked, I MUST KNOW. I may not even like the written characters, I may not like the plot, or find any redeeming qualities in the book, but some compulsive part of me, MUST READ ON.

I picked up The Nine Lives of Chloe King because of all the new television series. I figured since I liked the TV series I may like the books. I was afraid that it would be the same as Vampire Dairies on CWTV in which nothing is the same, but decided to hope. I took the new omnibus featuring all three novels, hoping I could get a head start on the series before it further progressed. However surprise, surprise it was completely deferent.

I read this in part because of the TV show coming out, and found that, indeed, it is very good. I think it could have used a little bit less foul language, which I found a bit shocking, but oh well. They're 16, it's kind of expected. This book gave me a chance to laugh at the astonishment of my friends, who seemed to think that it was insane that I finished a 771 page book in under 2 days.

In the midst of a 1,000-mile multi-phased move last summer, we stopped for the night at a hotel to sleep and give our freaked-out cat some 'away time' from highway driving. (You're absolutely right. She's only four and probably shouldn't have been driving anyway.) While channel flipping at the hotel, I came upon an episode of a show I'd previously neither seen nor heard of titled 'The Nine Lives of Chloe King.' I watched, was moderately interested, and saw the note in the credits stating that it...more

Review:
The first thing I want to state from the very beginning is that at the time of watching the show, I had no idea that there was a book written first, so I went into this book because the show and it’s abrupt cancellation made me a big enough fan that I wanted to see exactly where it all started.
Doing it that way may have nailed this book right from...more

Okay so I really had a hard time rating this book because it is an omnibus and I had different feelings for each of the individual stories. Also, I hadn't seen the series so my review is based solely on the book. What I basically did was rate each story individually, then solved for the mean score.

The Nine Lives of Chloe King by Liz Brazwell contains the three Chloe King books previously written under the pen name Celia Thomson. This is a MASSIVE book. The three books together make for a book so large that it takes two hands to hold (and isn't going to work in the bathtub). If you've got an e-reader I'd suggest buying the digital copy even if it is more expensive.

The Fallen
Is the first of the trilogy. Braswell does a great job of building the characters and creating the atmosphere. At the end of this book there were so many more questions then answers. And by so many I mean it was a book of questions. Questions about what Chloe was and about the relationships between everyone. It was a great start to the series.

Story was good but really upset how things turned out:( I actually liked the show better than the book.
The Nine Lives of Chloe King is about a teenage girl who learns she is a descendent of an ancient society made up of God - like beings. Specifically referred to as the Mai, this group of supernatural cat people are said to be the children of Sehkmet. Not only does Chloe discover that she isn't human she also learns that she is the Chosen One, a very special figure in her ancestral legacy. If this isn't overwhelming enough she finds herself at the top of the hit list for The Order of the Tenth Bl...more

The first thing I did when I went to barns and nobles the other day was grab this book right of the shelf the second I saw it, spending the remainder of my birthday on it.
