Chloe King was a normal sixteen-year-old girl.
She did her homework and got good grades, but she wasn't afraid to ditch class sometimes to hang out with her best friends. She slept at home, but otherwise avoided all human contact with her mom. The usual stuff.
Then she fell from San Francisco's highest tower, and her life changed. For starters, she died. And then, she woke up.
Now Chloe's life is anything but normal: Suddenly guys are prowling around her, she's growing claws, and someone's trying to kill her.
Luckily for Chloe, she still has eight lives to go.

I have no girlfriend,舡 he said with exasperation. 舠I haven舗t had one in months. Why?舡 舠You just sound like 舰 I don舗t know 舰 grudging about
teaming up after school someday舒uh, when she finally gives up her dream of being a poet. She would design the fashions and I would manage the store or company: hiring, fixtures, accounts 舰.舡 Her eyes grew dreamy, then narrowed. 舠That舗s why it pisses me off that Lania gets to work the cash register. She sucks, and I totally want to learn that side of it.舡 Brian舗s face was blank for a moment. 舠Oh, is she that girl who keeps making fun of the way I dress?舡 舠Yeah.舡 Chloe snorted. 舠Good customer

It舗s too 舰 claustrophobic.舡 With a buzz they turned down the 101 and were zooming over the Golden Gate. It was a beautiful end-of-day panorama: the sky was darkening to a clear, pollution-free blue, and elongated puffy clouds rolled by, lit orange from underneath. The colors of the fading green hills in the distance deepened, and the water below looked
舠You think your human friends are going to help save you?舡 the man asked with feigned surprise. 舠Just because you keep company with them doesn舗t mean you舗re one of them.舡 舠Ho-ly shit,舡 Amy said, openmouthed. 舠Um, yeah 舰舡 Chloe estimated the distance between them舒about twenty-five feet.
