If someone doesn't pay, it will be hers that is spilled. Clues are scattered through her past and buried deep within her memories. When the pieces begin to come together, she needs all the help she can get. Falling for any of her would-be captors isn't on the agenda, but since when did love follow a schedule?
Cats and dogs have been enemies since the beginning of time. Learn the history behind the war in this shifter adventure tale set in Knollville County.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2019This was a great start for a new series! It grabbed my attention from the start and had me turning pages as fast as I could! Tawny has no idea where her father is and seems he's being hunted! Tawny is introduced to werecats and werewolves looking for him. This story is full of surprises and twists! Great story and definitely recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2021As with all the author's books, I enjoy C.A. King's writing style in this one.
Tawny is likeable, even though her experiences become difficult with her efforts to find her father and endure her abduction. The story is engaging and kept me reading until the end.
I'm excited to see what happens in the next book!

5 out of 5 stars
The story Dangerously Close To Extinction (Knollville Legends Book 1) by C.A. King is a book that I loved reading. It has shifters, mystery, danger, and legends. It pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the final page. I loved reading about the character of Tawny. She is a young woman who has two rival gangs wanting her to find her father for them. Tawny is intelligent, strong, beautiful, and stubborn. As clues to her past begin to emerge, she finds herself in a situation that she never believed she would be in. Is she also finding herself falling for one of her captors? What does the future hold for Tawny? Why is her father being sought? Will he be found? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has action and I found myself quickly turning pages as I had to know what happens next. There is humorous and at times sarcastic dialogue that had me smiling and laughing. I enjoyed the legends that are told and explained. Tawny is a character that is likable, and I grew to care about her with each chapter that I read. This is a story that I would highly recommend reading. It is entertaining and well written.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2019This is a story of werecat shifters. Tawny is a werecat but has no clue. Her father disappeared and now there are a bunch of people looking for him. Werewolves and werecats are the two main shifters here. I like the idea of this story but it seems unsettled. There is just something about this that doesn’t seem to flow. The conversations or the actions of the characters. I felt the “mate” situation need more time to grow. There were harsh words/actions between the two MC’s. Then the next page all is lovey dovey.
This isn’t my first book by this author. Normally I enjoy stepping into her world and seeing what she creates. I love reading shifter stories but this was just fell flat for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019I do not know about you, but when I see my favorite author releases a new book I am all about getting it first and fast. The problem is that I usually finish it right away and need to wait for the next book to read. C.A. King is that author. I love her stories. She really puts in her heart and soul into her work. You can always bet there is action, adventure, likeable characters, characters you do not like, far off lands, and many more exciting things. Dangerously Close To Extinction is no different. There is an adventure that makes you look around every page you turn to see what is going to happen next. The roller coaster ride starts on the first page and ends on the last page. I cannot wait to see what Ms. King is going to write next.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019I give Dangerously Close To Extinction (Knollville Legends Book 1) by C.A. King, 4 stars.
Tawny keeps waiting for her father to get back from wherever he is this time. But in the meantime, she will keep up appearances. She doesn't want anyone to know she is starting to get worried. But then she sees these eyes looking into the house one night. They seem like they are eyes of a beast. Later, it seems like that beast is following her. She hears tell of very large wolves in the area. Then she is basically kidnapped from her own home. She is told that this group and another even worse are all looking for her father. When she is told what these groups really are, it seems like she stepped into a Hollywood movie. But events happen that make her have to trust these people. But didn't they kidnap her? And what about the one she can't stop thinking about? To find her father and unravel the mystery, she has to decide whether or not to go with her instincts.
This is a good introduction to a new series. The characters are interesting and we learn just enough to peak our interest. I cannot wait to see how they evolve throughout future books. The story itself is different and fun. There is a lot of action and it puts a young woman in situations she is not prepared for but readily takes on. You don't know just where the story with take you next either. I like to be surprised while I read so this was selling point for me.
If you like YA paranormal romance and action, this book is for you.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2019C.A. King is a one click author for me and I always enjoy her stories.
This is the first book in a new series about a (fictional?) town called Knollville. Knollville isn't on a map, can't be found by GPS and the road is hidden in plain sight.
This story has a different flair than then the stories previously written. It set up as more "horror" with a softer edge. It was fantastic and I was 100% invested from the STUNNING cover to the very last page.
One of my favorite lines: "Beware of the eyes of the beast, cold as steel, and the blood running through its veins. Its heart beats only to serve the demon within"
I absolutely recommend this book

Dangerously Close to Extinction is the first book in the Knollville Legends series by C.A. King. I have read all of Ms. Kings books now and have loved exploring all her work. She is definitely one of my ‘no questions asked, just one-click it, authors’. Her stories never disappoint, so I didn’t even read the blurb for this story- I just snatched up a copy as fast as I could. So, I really had no idea of what to expect going into the story. I didn’t even know it was the first book in a new series. I saw the beautiful, intriguing, and elegant cover- and Ms. King’s name, and I was sold. This book turned out to be a completely wonderful surprise, in all the right ways. A paranormal/shifter story with an original spin- full of secrets, history, rifts, feuds, mystery, drama, kidnap, missing persons, discoveries, and so much more.
Tawny’s father is missing- and there are ‘people’ hell-bent on finding him. She’s a little afraid, especially when she sees some eyes looking into her home one night. She’s heard stories of large animals in the area, so that’s a little disturbing, too. Then she’s pretty much kidnapped… What exactly is going on? What do these ‘people really want? What is so important? And how does her father fit into the picture? What happens when secrets are revealed, and Tawny learns the truth? Will she trust her instincts, and if she does will they lead her astray?
WOW… What a great way to start a new series! Colour me impressed! Ms. King certainly knows how to tell a great story- I was hooked right from word go. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series, that’s for sure!!! I wonder what she has in store for us.
Thank you, Ms. King!
