Новинки Селии Томсон

From Russia and Eastern Europe comes a breed of humans with feline characteristics called the Mai. Chloe King is one of them. In this second installment in the series, she finds that there are others like her, others with nine lives and the ability to see in the dark. Just as she's beginning to understand her unique powers, the Tenth Blade, a ruthless group out to kill her and the rest of the Mai, strikes again. Having already lost one life, and with her mother and her friends also in danger, Chloe will do anything to stop them. Complicating matters is her growing attraction to Brian, a member of the Tenth Blade. He says he's on her side,…

Despite a rocky few weeks, Chloe King is starting to get it. She's figured out who she is (a girl with catlike superpowers), where she belongs (at home with Mom), and what she wants to do (chill with her friends).

Yes, she's got funky superpowers, and yes, two rival groups think she's some "chosen" leader. But no, she's not buying all that ancient-warrior crap. And she's definitely not developing a superhero alter ego like in those old comic books. For Chloe, being the One means she can have whatever she wants ... i. e. , more goof-off time and fewer "cat people" conventions.

Then she finds her friend bleeding in an alley. All at once Chloe realizes that the years of bloodshed are not over. In fact, they never will be. The Mai and the Tenth Blade are going to persist in their dangerous rivalry. Unless Chloe accepts her destiny ... and takes control.

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.
