''The Nine Lives of Chloe King'' is a three-book series by Celia Thomson that was adapted in 2011 as a 10-episode mini-series by Creator/ABCFamily. The book series features Chloe (Creator/SkylerSamuels), a young girl who seems to fall to her death at the beginning of the first book. After a mysterious recovery, she finds that she's changing and may not actually be human, but rather a member of a catlike race, the Mai, who can never truly co-exist with humanity. Moreover, she may be the reincarnation of the race's destined leader with nine lives and new powers, and the existing power base is not happy with that fact.

The television show was cancelled as of August 16, 2011, although for time it was reported to get a MadeForTV movie. However that never happened, but the script was leaked online to give fans closure.

* GenreSavvy: Paul
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: And boy did that wish come true!

* ProductPlacement:
** Chloe just really wants that Kia Soul.
** The camera spent a lot of time focusing on Paul's Marvel t-shirts, which happened to coincide with that year's movie releases.
* RelationshipUpgrade: Subverted in an episode where Amy and Paul both want this but have ''very'' different ideas of what this would mean. It does not end well.
* SecretPublicIdentity: Chloe uses her real name in public despite generally keeping her nature as Mai secret from humans. [[note]] With the exception of Amy and Paul[[/note]]. Perhaps [[JustifiedTrope justified]], as the members of The Order seem to be able to recognize Mai even when they don't use their powers, so it's unlikely that hiding her name or face would do anything to protect her.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: The Brazilian Mai think they can do whatever they want, including kill humans, because they are the Superior Race
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Between Alek and Chloe. It grows more obvious by the episode.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Brian with his dad, Jasmine with her mom.
