About this audiobook

*The Secret Life of Amy Bensen is now a streaming series on Passionflix!*

In this third book in the sexy, suspenseful Secret Life of Amy Bensen series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones, we meet Amy’s brother Chad—and the woman who either loves him or wants him dead.

Six years ago, Chad’s hunt for a dangerous treasure turned deadly when his family home was set on fire, his parents killed. Faking his and his sister Amy’s death to protect her from further retaliation, he set her up in a new life with a friend’s help, letting her believe he’d died.

But now the men who hired Chad to find the treasure have found him, imprisoning and torturing him to learn where it’s hidden. A dark-haired beauty named Gia helps him escape, promising him access to his worst enemy. And as he tries to unravel the deep secrets of the past, he starts falling for her…only to discover she’s not what she seems.

Unable to trust anyone, Chad focuses on only two things: protecting his sister Amy and getting revenge. Is love even possible in the midst of heartache?

    The book was okay, but the tv show was so much better. Since I saw the tv show first, I already knew that Chloe was going to transform into a Mai, which is a descendant of the Egyptian goddess Basset and is part cat with catlike features like claws, night vision, etc. In the tv show, Chloe finds out that she is the Uniter and has 9 lives to unite the Mai and the humans. The Mai and the Uniter aspect wasn't mentioned at all in the book. After Chloe falls off the tower and walks away from it fine, there is no mention of the Mai and not very much action. The middle of the book wasn't very interesting. I think the book is going in a different direction than the tv show, because Jasmine isn't in the books and she was a main character in the tv show. If Jasmine isn't in the books, I guess Valentina won't be in the books either, so who is going to be the leader of the Mai? Also, it's kind of random...but in the tv show, his name was Alek, and in the books his name was Alyec. I like Alek spelled like that so much better...but that's beside the point. The good thing about the book was that it went much farther into depth about Chloe's feelings about her transformation, because I feel like in the tv show, they kind of glossed over her feelings about her transformation and focused on the action. I think the next book might be more interesting because Chloe will probably figure out that she's Mai. In the tv show, I hated Brian, but in the books, I liked him much more. This book kind of dragged the first 20 minutes of the pilot episode for the whole book. The Fallen focused more on the romance aspect of Chloe's transformation, but I wished it focused more on the supernatural aspect. It was mostly a love triangle story, and Chloe's new supernatural abilities were kind of a background story. Another strange thing was that Chloe didn't really spend much time wondering why she fell from a 210 foot tower and walked away without a scratch, how she has claws, etc. She kind of forgets about it after a chapter and spends her time focusing on her love life. Which is really kind of weird, 'cause if that happened to me, I would've have been freaked out. The only mention of the Order and the assassin in the book was the notes and the very end. I kind of had to force myself through the middle of it. I will read the next book because I want to see the actual action and the Mai part of it. It was good writing, and the imagery was great, I just wasn't as interested in the subject matter (Chloe's love life) because I thought it would be more supernatural based, like the show. One thing I enjoyed about this book was that Chloe didn't seems as one dimensional as she did in the show at times. By the finale, I wanted to kill her because she's just couldn't leave Brian. And, in the book, Chloe and Brian actually had a connection, as opposed to in the show, where I feel the writers in the show slapped them together to create a love triangle with Alek. In the book, Chloe and Alyec didn't have much connection in the book...Chloe pretty much just thought he was hot. There was much more character development in this book as opposed to the ten episodes in the show, so I also enjoyed that. This book would have been so much better with a little more action, and a little less romance. This book was pretty much 95% focused on Chloe's love life and feelings and 5% focused on the actual Mai part of it. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen the amazing show first. Overall, it was an okay book, and it was kind of a slow read.

    I bought this set of books last year before I ever knew about the television show, but since I saw it was going to be airing this week on ABC Family, I figured maybe I should actually start reading them and see if the series was any good. I was expecting kind of a low budget book type deal. I can happily say I was quite surprised. This book was way better than my expectations and I really ended up loving it.

    This was interesting. I haven't read anything like this story before. I started reading it because of the abcfamily tv show. It was interesting reading it while watching the tv show because they are really different. I love the show and I like the book a lot also. sadly the show doesn't seem like it will make it another season :( You get to know Chloe better by time the end of the book comes along with more action taking place. I'm looking forward to reading the next two which I'm sure will develop the story a lot more. Fallen was an interesting fun start to the story.

    Chloe is an ordinary teen, her mum is on her case, she wants the school hottie to notice her and hangs with her two best friends. The day before her 16th birthday, Chloe falls 200ft and walks away. Nothing is the same after that. I liked Chloe - she has a lot of attitude - but that makes her more real. The pace was good - stops abrupbtly since it is a definate series. There is some clever imagery as well. Looking forward to reading the others.

    Why I read it:Well, last year I watched the show, The Nine Lives of Chloe King on Netflix and really enjoyed it! I was super interested in the story and didn't realize until I watched the last episode that it had been cancelled. Well, the show ended on a huge cliff-hanger and it drove me crazy. Naturally, I went to Amazon to order the books so I could find out how the story would end. However, the reviews I read there were rather negative, and I put off buying it. Well, the other day I saw it at my local book store and couldn't resist. Review: Overall, it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting based on those reviews. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. Sure, it wasn't exactly like the TV Series, but it was pretty similar. I actually rather enjoyed it. In the book you get to see a lot more of Chloe struggling with the changes she's facing. One thing a lot of people were complaining about is that Chloe herself was rather moody and immature. At times in the Fallen, she definitely was those things, but she even admits that to herself and doesn't understand why she's being that way. She even states that she isn't normally that way, and you can definitely see an effort to be better even with all the crazy things she's going through. And there are A LOT of crazy things she's going through.As far as finding out what happened after the show ended, I'm not even close yet. I'll definitely have to keep reading the series before I get that far. The book follows along loosely with what happened in the show, but some things are different already. It's difficult to see where it's going. Anyway, for now I'm going to disregard the show. As for the book, it was a quick, easy, interesting read. The storyline was interesting and mysterious. There are still quite a few questions not answered: What happened to Xavier? Is Chloe going to stay mad at Brian? Is Alyec as stupid as he seems? Will Amy & Paul find out what's going on? I'm definitely still interested in finding out.
