With Samuels' star-power and the proficient execution of the episode episodes, The Nine Lives of Chloe King is the sort of summer fun that I'll happily watch in the summer and it has the potential, if it navigates the story properly, to become the rare ABC Family series I might stick with even against regular programming.

There are allegories galore--from celibacy to puberty (all that body "processing"), alienation and, yes, teen angst of the "what the heck is that thing on my back?" variety. Think "Teen Wolf" for girls.

[A] family-friendly, charming show. [Jun 17 2011, p.91]

In the premiere of this likably preposterous new show, [Chloe] learns that these changes are embedded in her DNA and can be traced back millennia. [20 Jun 2011, p.58]

Despite only marginal spring in the exposition-heavy pilot, the promised mix of action, angst and serialized mystery should make for a purr-fect little summer escape.

Heeding one of the elementary vampire show lessons, Chloe King sets all this against a backdrop of clever teenage banter and the awesomeness of teenage romance.

Nine Lives may satisfy undemanding teens in the ABC Family target audience but it'll feel like a retread to others.

As a 32 year-old woman, the idea that I'd become hooked on an ABC Family show was once laughable, yet this show got me on the first episode. Any show that can capture the dedicated attention of teens and adults is one worth mentioning. Well done and I'm sorry it's not returning for a 2nd season! :(

I really LOVE this show it is full of entetainment and action and so far I really happy of what they are showing! I really am hoping for more of Nine Lives of Chloe King!

Though it has potential, the acting and inventiveness of this drama are lacking. Nonetheless, I will continue watching, hoping for some entertainment in a summer which seems barren of decent TV.

SO far i am not impressed at all ! I like Skyler a lot ! And she is so good and still made it charming but the story is so weak ! i hate this kind of love stories ! season final was also so bad hope next season will be better and it had to be !

I watched this when it was on television, and I witnessed its downfall. From what I remember it was predictable and there was an annoying (and sometimes stilted) love story/triangle between Chloe King and that blonde haired boy and then that boy that always entered the shop where she worked.
