Summary: Exhilirating New Teen Fiction
Review: Sixteen-year-old Chloe King wasn't expecting anything bad to happen to her on that fateful day. After all, she was smart. Did her homework, got good grades, avoided her Mother, you know, usual teen stuff. But that day she just wanted to have some fun and let loose with her two best friends, Amy and Paul. She deserved that, seeing as how no one was really doing anything special for her Sweet Sixteen. So the three of them headed to Coit Tower, San Francisco's highest tower. So she was a little out of it, they all were. But not all of them fell, only Chloe did. She fell the full 200 feet. She should be dead. But she isn't. She lived to tell about it. But now things are weird. Guys are suddenly prowling around Chloe non-stop, when before it was like she wasn't even there. And that's not all. Chloe is growing claws. You know, like the claws that a cat has. And someone's trying to kill her. Good thing for Chloe, she's still carrying eight lives around in her pocket.

THE FALLEN, which is Volume one in the NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING series is a welcome addition to the teen fiction genre. Chloe is a cool character, who pretty much has a full-on personality change once she experiences her fall from Coit Tower, but that's not a bad thing. Amy and Paul, Chloe's best friends are fantastic supporting characters, and make the story that much better, by putting some minor difficulties in Chloe's already crazy life. Cat lovers, as well as fans of Francine Pascal's FEARLESS series will find themselves flocking to Celia Thomson's THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING, seeing as each character possesses a strange ability, but has to deal with it on top of their normal teenage problems. A must have book, as it takes you on a crazy, yet exhilirating thrill ride from the first page to the last.

Summary: Awesome book
Review: This book was very good. Usually I just pick up random books with interesting titles/summaries from the library, and I have struck gold with this book. Chloe is an average teenager, (except for the fact that she has 9 lives), and I can definitely relate to this book, being a 14-year-old. The only thing that took one star away from my rating was the fact that I didn't really like the fantasy part of the book, like when she is getting attacked, because that is just not my taste, but the rest of the book was awesome and I look forward to the other 8 books in this series.
