The Nine Lives of Chloe King

The Nine Lives of Chloe King

...

Have you ever fallen off something? The monkey bars, a chair, a ladder? Well, what if you fall off of a building or, let’s say, a tower, and survive? In The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Chloe is your average teenage girl, until the day before her sixteenth birthday when she falls off of Coit Tower and lives, without a scratch. From there Chloe’s life becomes that of nightmares. Mysterious men trying to kill her, boyfriends almost dying from her kiss, oh, and did I mention, claws?

            

I really like The Nine Lives of Chloe King. It was nearly eight hundred pages, but I read through it quite quickly. The first chapter is a little slow, but from there everything picks up. It reminded me a little of Eragon, in that the author didn’t really leave out much of the story, thus the seven hundred pages. The characters were vivid and interesting. My favorite was Alyec, who was sexy and very much the bad boy. The fights were well choreographed but sometimes they seemed to go on forever.

           

I do think this book is worth reading, although, only if you have enough time. Chloe can be whiny, but she’s enjoyable none the less. If you don’t read it for the awesome supernatural aspects or the pretty cool fight scenes, read it for the romance, because that had me on my toes.

3 pearls!

P.S. It’s way different than the television series.

Keep reading!
