Tails Always Wins by C.A. King is the first book in the Chasing Tails series. This book is a brilliant start to yet another great new series by an amazing author. C.A. King has become, very quickly, one of those authors that I don’t hesitate to read. Half the time I don’t even bother to read the description of the book because it won’t matter what it says, I know I will like what I read. She has such a way of telling a story that I instantly get lost in her words. This book was up the usual high standards too. I felt instantly connected to the characters. I was drawn into their story and taken on an exciting journey with them. It was a well thought out, fast paced story that I flew through in no time at all. This book also has to have one of my absolute favourite covers. It is so eye catching and vivid. I loved it the instant I saw it. I cannot wait to see what is next in this series.

I loved this book,where shifters and humans clash. This is a creative story that has well developed characters that pull you into the story and made it feel real. This story takes place in a world that is full of injustice and prejudice. A breed registry is created for dogs but what will happen when they had shifters to the mix? I enjoyed watching Brodie and Tails grow throughout the story, they made great characters. What will happen when they take charge of their future? A must read!

Tails Always Wins (Chasing Tails Book 1) By: C.A. King 5 out of 5 stars
The story Tails Always Wins (Chasing Tails Book 1) by C.A. King is a wonderful shifter book. It pulled me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put the book down until I had finished the last page. It is a story that includes not only an interesting and entertaining storyline it also has 2 main characters that grew to care about with each chapter that I read. They are Brodie and Tails. Brodie is a shifter that keeps his nose clean. He doesn’t make waves. He keeps one side of himself hidden from society. He is finding it hard to stay under the radar. He then meets Tails. Tails is a woman who is strong, intelligent, and beautiful. Before she meets Brodie she never would have thought to question what she is told. What does the future hold for Brodie and Tails? Read this book to find out. There are moments that are sad, ones that are emotional, and there are times when you wonder what is going to happen next. I love shifter stories and I can add this one to my list of favorites. The author has done an amazing job of creating an awesome story with amazing characters. I highly recommend reading it.

Brodie spent his entire life keeping his nose clean and his other form hidden from society. Enrollment in an involuntarily threat evaluation was about to change everything. Failure left two choices: a death sentence or joining the fight. He had zero interest in leading a revolution, but the foxy lady at the centre of it all had him spinning in circles.
Tails spent the majority of her life learning the value of favours and how to extract them; a skill she put to good use for the cause. When a clumsy, run-of-the-mill shifter almost ruined everything, she found herself stuck on babysitting duty. In the past, questioning superiors never crossed her mind. The new addition to the pack not only turned her world upside down, but also had her second-guessing everything, including her own feelings.
Betting against them is a deadly mistake. Wherever destiny leads them, luck is sure to follow. In the end, no matter how many times the coin is tossed, one thing holds true… Tails always wins!

Truly Unfortunate by C. A. King is a five star novel. I have read other books by this author and have loved them all. Even though this is not the normal genre of books that I read, her writing style is fantastic and makes the reader really need to know what is going to happen next. The book continues to go back and forth in time from when Truly was a child and then as she is a twenty something. When Truly is growing up, she feels like she doesn’t belong and no one likes her. The kids at school are brutal. When one of them has an accident and dies, no one thinks twice about it. The girl who died was the typical mean girl and everyone just thought it was fate for something terrible to befall her. But then other people in Truly’s life start dying too. Now it is time to find out if Truly has something to do with it or not. I cannot wait to read the rest of this series when the author returns!

TRULY UNFORTUNATE(welcome to knollville book 1) By C. A. King
Four Stars
Truly Unfortunate was a unique and slightly twisted read. You have this character Truly who has no memory and is surrounded by bad luck. She did everything she could to stay on a good path. There was always someone there putting her down. I was shocked when all the crazy deaths started happening. But was excited for the twist the author threw in the book. I am a firm believer in karma. I think the punishment for the characters crime was extreme but they were wrong. The only thing I wish was different was the details about Truly. She really had no personality and we don’t really get to know her. But I did see the point the author was making this was a story about a mysterious town. I say read this story because it’s a little twisted and if you have a dry or dark sense of humor it’s perfect.

A. King- Review by Gail Guerrero
Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King is the first book in the new series Welcome to Knollville. Truly doesn’t remember her childhood and is struggling to pay for counseling to hopefully unlock the secrets of her life. Jeff is a police officer and he is seeing a pattern in some cases that he is working on. This is a spooky at times but definitely intriguing book. There is a paranormal thriller that I didn’t want to put down. I was intrigued by the moment I started and wanted to find out Truly’s story. She is a great character. As usual C.A. King sets up a great story with plenty of detail to give a clear image of everything and everyone. I am so happy to have a new series to start that King is writing. I look forward to see where the series goes.

King – Review by Sheri Schrader
“Truly Unfortunate” is the first book in the Welcome to Knollville series by C.A King. C.A King’s newest fascinating character is Truly. She doesn’t remember anything from her childhood and works three jobs just to pay for her crappy apartment and the therapy she needs. Strange events start to occur in her small town of Knollville and Knoll County’s most skeptical police officer, Jeff, is on the case. I was so excited when this book got released since I am a HUGE fan of C.A King and her Portal Prophecies series. C.A King has an incredible talent of creating these other worlds and interesting characters that I wish I could visit. Every book I have read, and there have been several now, are wildly imaginative and unpredictable in every sense. C.A King is one of those authors whose brain I wish I could peer into and see how she sees life. Her imagination and creativity never cease to amaze me. I am so excited for more of this series to come out so I can continue to love them, as I know I will. Five obvious stars from me! Now to download a bunch more of her books to tide me over until more Welcome to Knollville books come out!!

Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King a thrilling five-star read. This is the first book in the Welcome to Knollville series and what a start, I have read this author before, but this novel seemed in a league of its own. The phycological thriller aspect of the read keeps you so hooked that your heart will be in your throat and your heart will be pumping out of your chest. Then there is the world building and drama and the plot, agggghh I don’t know what to say about that as I don’t want to spoil it for when you read this amazing story. Truly has a story that you need to hear, so go read this novel to hear it.

King – Review by Sara Oxton
Truly Unfortunate ( Welcome to Knollville Book 1) by C. A. King. This was such a good book. Its not my normal genre but I really enjoyed it. Truly is a damaged young lady who can’t remember her past since the age of 9. Her childhood was very traumatizing and sad. Her mom didn’t love her and she never had a real father so she was pretty much on her own. As an adult life was just as hard, working 3 jobs to try to make rent and also paying for therapy. Jeff has always wanted to be a detective. He was saddened by a classmates death at the age of 9 so he vowed he would do what he could to help others. When Truly and Jeff’s worlds collide thru a series of unfortunate accidents the fact that they share a lot more in common will emerge. This is a super fast read and leaves you with great questions. Can’t wait to read more in this series.

King – Review by Tausha Treadway
Truly Unfortunate is book one in the Welcome to Knollville series by C.A. King. I have not read a story by this author, and it took me by surprise. I did not anticipate the high quality of the story, the depth to each character, the complex and intriguing way the characters joined together to make a suspenseful dramatic tale. It was a brilliant paranormal saga and one I enjoyed more than I imagined I would.
Truly was a character I instantly felt bonded with. There was no getting to know you stage, I instantly felt attuned to her. She enthralled me. I just had to know her story. The author has this maddeningly clever way of giving a clue of what may happen next, without really telling you anything. It was genius. Truly Unforgettable was a one sitting read and one I truly will not forget. 5 stars.

King – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
Truly was an interesting and determined main character of this novel. She worked three jobs just to make ends meet and was unable to recall her childhood. I was fascinated with her time spent at her doctor’s office attempting to regain those memories. I hated the amount of suffering she dealt with as a child. It broke my heart. I was intrigued with Jeff’s character as he worked to find the correlation of accidents happening and Truly’s past. I did not expect what happened at the end. Great novel!

A. King – Review by Madison Degraffenreid
Truly has no memory of her childhood. Life is pretty bad for her now, so what could her brain possibly consider so bad that her memories refuse to come forward? Jeff is a detective who is seeing deeply disturbing patterns in deaths and will stop at nothing to find the connections between them. Each of them will need to decide which is the lesser of two evils. This paranormal thriller kept me on the edge of my seat and up at night. I absolutely agree with the warning that is for mature audiences but that could be because I have a pretty over active imagination especially in the worst case scenario department. C.A. King is a fantastic writer and if you enjoy this book, you should read The Portal Prophecies and The Four Horseman series.

A. King – Review by Emma Morreale
This book left me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Truly Unfortunate is the first book in the Welcome to Knollville series by C.A. King. Truly doesn’t quite remember certain things from her childhood. Her doctor’s say that she might be repressing her memories. But she doesn’t understand why and when people start dying she gets so confused. In comes Jeff…Jeff is the county’s sheriff. However, when things start to go down he has no choice but to investigate and work the puzzle that is happening in that town. The story starts to become interesting and twisted. It is also pretty dark and pretty raw. This book is considered a paranormal thriller. There are so many twists and turns that you have to continue to read in order to find out what happens. I love murder/psychological mysteries and this definitely did not disappoint. I loved the characters and the way that the author sucks you in and doesn’t allow you to leave. It had a way of thinking that Truly must be as crazy as she thinks she is. This book is definitely a page turner so be prepared to not put this book down until you are finished! You become a part of this storyline because it feels so real! I cannot wait for the next book in the series! I definitely need to find out what happens next! Definitely a home run for this author! Two thumbs up with an absolute yes on a must read!

KING – Review By Melissa Agena
Truly Unfortunate is the first book in C.A. King’s Welcome to Knollville series. I have read and enjoyed a number of C.A. King’s books in the past, including her Portal Prophecies and Four Horsemen series, so knew I could expect enchanting world-building and strong, interestingly complicated characters and a thoroughly enjoyable story! Truly Unfortunate tells the story of Truly, a young woman struggling to remember her tragic past (TW – mentions of abuse although there are no graphic descriptions). As the story progresses, she remembers more about her childhood and we begin to wonder how it might be linked to a series of unusual deaths happening in the present. Truly is truly (haha) a great character. She is working several jobs to afford medical treatment and rent, working hard to overcome her trauma and amnesia. She is also kind and considerate to her friends, good at solving problems and willing to stand up for herself. The supporting characters include Jeff and Miranda, the detectives trying to make sense of the series of seemingly accidental deaths. They’re clever and determined, and able to joke about the ridiculous situations they find themselves in! And there’s Stan, the bus driver, a character who will feel familiar to anyone who frequents public transport. I also particularly liked Maria, Truly’s colleague and friend who lightens the otherwise quite dark tone. Truly Unfortunate is quite a dark book, with a wonderful and gripping story. For me it’s a five star read – I struggled to put it down! I’d recommend it to anyone who likes a mystery with a touch of magic.

Truly Unfortunate written by C.A. King. This is definitely not my first book by C.A. King and it won’t be my last each book has a unique spin and twist that you love and hate as the story goes. Truly Unfortunate is no different, as the story progresses you think you have it figured out, you for your own case and motive and then boom something else happens and you have to rethink everything. Then the end comes and you realize you were right and wrong the entire time but you can’t wait to see if there is another book and how it goes.

I’ve had the pleasure of reading other books by C.A. King, and let’s just say that the more I read by her, the more I fall in love with her style. This time, I was able to read Truly Unfortunate of the Welcome to Knollville Series, and let’s just say that it has certainly become one of my favorites.
I love diving into a book that will take a hold of my attention and make me sit on the edge of my seat. I kept trying to figure out what the outcome of the story would be, and let’s just say that it wasn’t what I expected. I’m anxious and excited to continue the journey with these characters, and to see what else the author will do. This was a definite 5 Star Book for me!

King – Review by Roxana Yoss
Truly Unfortunate is a quick read for a novel, a tale about the weird and unusual in one small town following Truly, a girl who works three jobs and still is unable to make ends meet with a landlord who harasses her at any given moment. It is a relatable read, following Truly on her day to day excursions as she goes from job one to the next as she struggles to make ends meet, suffering the injustices that surround her. However, the kicker in all this, what makes this story, so riveting is the fact that it goes back in time, flashing back to the memories Truly had forgotten, memories of abuse and bullying. That is the power of the novel that injustices happen, that bad people are going to do bad things but that there is some karmic justice in the world to make everything right.
Once again, it is a short read at just under 200 pages, making it a quick one, but that is not all that makes it a quick read. The fact that the novel moves so effortlessly to build the tension and the intrigue keeps the reader on their toes. Other than that, Truly is a pretty forgettable character, her history and origins are what make her stand out, but her personality, nothing about it stands out. Jeff, on the other hand, his obsession with the weird and the connections he makes to fortune telling, now his actions and reactions, that is what makes him appealing to read. His motives and the way his arc in the narrative moves and intertwines with Truly’s from the past to the present, that makes him interesting.
Overall, it is a good read, and as a starter to something bigger, it works.

King — Review by Cynthia Ayala
C.A. King is a magical storyteller. I just can’t get enough of her stories and every time that I see a new release of hers on my feed or a coming soon it is an auto-buy. No questions asked, no need to read what it is even about. Truly Unfortunate is no exception to the rule. I was blown away when I got a peek at this cover for the first time. I knew the world that King was going to take me to was going to be one that I wouldn’t want to leave.
The story behind that gorgeous eye-catching cover is quite possibly one of my favorite novels that I have read by King. This is one twist psychological thriller. I know for sure that I didn’t want to put it down, and I was thrilled to learn that there will be more to come in this series. When King builds a world for the reader, it is from the ground up and down to the very way that you would think the atmosphere feels and smells. I love how I feel transformed into the place the character is is when I am reading and in Truly Unfortunate, this was once again the case.
I am struggling with how to share things about the plot of this book and not spoil it too much for the reader. There is a few things though, expect the unexpected. Go into this novel with an open mind and be ready to learn a few things, perhaps about yourself.
Truly has no memories of her youth, her formative years. There is something missing and it has to be for a good reason is all the doctors can think. All of a sudden there are a bunch of unexplained deaths occurring around her, and its people that she knows!
A local cop on the case,Jeff, is convinced that there is more to the story than meets the eye. He is determined to get to the bottom of it and make the case just like he has always dreamed of doing. But is this all in his imagination?
Just when you think you know what is going on there is a few twist that you do not see coming, ones that will make you read this well past your bedtime! I know I did, and I still am left hanging wondering so many questions. I can’t hardly wait for book two! Thank you so much for the great read CA King!

King ~ Review by Liz Vrchota
Truly Unfortunate by C.A.King is a must read! I’ve yet to read a book by this author that I don’t love. She’s a truly phenomenal author whose stories always pull me right in from the get go. This is the first book in the new Welcome to Knollville series, it’s a dark and twisted paranormal thriller type of read!
This storyline is highly captivating! I intended to read only a few chapters and somehow I made it all the way to the end as I got so swept up into the storyline. Truly was so intriguing and mysterious and I found myself trying to piece it all together yet I was unable to do so, which was find by me.
I would highly recommend this book to others, it’s one that should not be missed!

King – Review by Kaitlynn Taylor
It would be TRULY UNFORTUNATE if you did not read this book!!!!
Confession: I love love love this author and she is an auto one-click for me. I think this might be the best book yet (and yes, I’m aware I’ve said that about all of her books).
I’m not going to tell you anything about this story except that it’s a story of a woman (girl) whose name is TRULY.
It’s a fast paced book that moves along quickly. I easily devoured it in a few hours. It is visually written and while I read it yesterday, it is still sitting with me today. I have questions that may or may not be answered in future installments of this series. It is a clean story and I’m not even sure there were any swears in it.

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome to Knollville Series) by C.A King 5 Stars
Ms. King is an excellent author who truly has a wild imagination. I have read several of her books and each one is completely unique. This is another well written original storyline. It is a twisted tale that blurs the lines of reality. It is the first book in the Knollville series and I think it’s off to a great start. It is a paranormal story with a dark fantasy flavour to it.
Truly is a woman whose childhood is a complete blank to her. She has no memories at all. She has been to several doctors who all say the same thing, that she has blocked traumatic experiences. The only luck she seems to have is bad and as memories slowly start resurfacing, death seems to be following her. Jeff is a detective whose current cases all seem to point to Truly. To uncover the truth, he needs to open his mind and think outside the box.
This story has many twists and turns that it’s addictive. It is definitely not black and white, there are many shades of grey. You will not be able to put it down. I highly recommend that you read it. This has to be my favourite book from this author.

Truly Unfortunate is the first book in the Welcome to Knollville Series by C.A King. It is a spooky, slightly dark, paranormal thriller. Another superb read from the talented Ms. King. She never fails to deliver a fantastic story and always hooks me right from the get-go. This story is a little different from most of her other reads, but still entirely original, well written, and given the same attention to detail and polish, that she gives all her stories. Truly can’t remember a huge portion of her life, and it’s assumed by the doctors who’ve treated her, that she must have repressed something terrible, which has caused the memory blockage. Try as she might, she can’t recall anything. But, it’s more than that, nothing seems to work out for her either. When she begins to have disturbing visions, and people start dying- she really starts to wonder. Jeff is the local police officer and loves his job. He’d always known he’d become a policeman, galvanized by a tragic event back when he was nine. When strange things start happening and bodies start turning up, he will need to think outside the box to connect the dots to figure out what’s going on. There was definitely more to this story, and character/s than first met the eye. My review is a little vague on purpose, because I don’t want to give anything away. I recommend going in to the book blind and just let the story surprise you. This was nothing like what I was expecting, but in a good way. This is a wonderfully twisted tale that pushes the boundaries of reality, and really kept me questioning what was going on. Another great read from Ms. King’s limitless imagination! Bring on the next book!

5 Star Do Not Open Until Halloween By C.A.King is a YA fantasy book. I’m going to be honest and say I wasn’t sure about this book,until I started reading and I was hooked from the beginning till the end. I’ve read other books by this Author and have never been disappointed. Caitlin is a good girl with a kind heart. But what happens when she’s asked out on a date with Justin?She’d already promised her aunt she would house sit.Caitlin handles both situations in a way that has her now dealing with a fairy whom wasn’t invited. She must find her belief in magic in or for the fairy to be saved. I highly recommend this book,and I look forward to reading more from this Author. @ddaugh35

King – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
Do Not Open Until Halloween by C.A. King is a short, fun read. The story is about Caitlin who is asked to housesit for her Aunt. Little does Caitlin know that life will be getting more interesting very quickly. Like other books by C. A. King this is a good, imaginative read. I read this in one sitting and was glad to get to read this story. The characters are good and interesting, while the story is a mix of sci-fi and fantasy. I look forward to reading much more from this author in the future. I always enjoy the stories.

I always look forward to diving into C.A. King’s books as they take me on one of a kind journeys and they never disappoint. Just like all of her other books Do Not Open Until Halloween is a must-read fantasy novel! This was a shorter read but it was highly entertaining the whole way through. This fantasy read is action-packed, intense, dramatic, dark and so captivating. I found myself smiling and giggling from start to finish as Caitlin embarks on her very own one of a kind adventure. All of the detail in this story made it so easy to picture everything playing out in my mind, which made it so entertaining. C.A. King has an imagination like no other and I would absolutely recommend this fantasy read to everyone!
I look forward to reading more of her work in the future!

This is definitely an original story. It was kind of like Dungeons and Dragons, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and the Wizard of Oz all rolled into one story. It is a fantastical journey into the imagination.
Caitlyn promised her Aunt Petunia that she would house sit while she went away for the weekend. Caitlyn’s friends pressured her to invite some guys over as well. Unexplainable things happen and they accidentally stumble upon a real live fairy. Having to save the fairy, they need to believe and take a leap of faith into a magical realm.
The action starts pretty much from the beginning and is quick paced. I did feel like the story was rushed at times. It would have been nice if the author incorporated the fairy a little more. I liked the underlying anti bullying theme that was happening. I enjoyed the book though I think it is better suited towards a younger audience.
