The Kerrigan Kids Box Set #1-3
USA Today Bestselling author, W.J. May brings you a continuation of the international bestselling series, The Chronicles of Kerrigan! Come back and enjoy the famous characters, or step into the series right here. You won't be disappointed! Grab the first three books of the 12 book series!
Book 1 - School of Potential
How do you save the world, when it's already been saved?
Eighteen-year-old Aria was supposed to have it all. A tight-knit circle of friends, a loving family, and a magical tatu on her lower back that gave her every superpower under the sun. When it came to the battle between good and evil, she was ready to do her part. There was just one little problem.
…good had already won.
Trapped beneath their parents' legacy, Aria and her friends find themselves restlessly pacing the halls of Guilder University, desperate to come into their powers, desperate for whatever comes next. The months blend together, each more monotonous than the next, until one day, no different than any other, a mysterious stranger comes to school.
Determined to uncover his secrets and driven by a fierce need to prove themselves, the new gang does whatever it takes to show the rest of the world they're ready. But that readiness comes at a cost.
Will it be a price they're willing to pay?
Book 2 - Myths & Magic
It was a trial by fire…
When a vicious murder rocks the Guilder Boarding School, Aria and her friends find themselves on shaky ground. When everyone has motive, everyone's a suspect. And thanks to a public brawl with the victim, Aria Wardell was seen to have more motive than most.
While fending off a ward of accusations from both the students and the faculty alike, Aria struggles to find balance in her life amidst the shocking development of some new powers. A new group of shifters on campus raise more questions than answers, and no matter how the world is crumbling around her, she can't get a certain moonlit kiss out of her mind.
Trouble is brewing. Secrets can't stay secret for long.
Will she ever get answers? Or should some secrets be taken to the grave?
Book 3 - Kith & Kin
If you can't beat them, join them…
When yet another attack leaves the students of Guilder University looking for answers, Aria decides to take matters into her own hands. Armed with a set of powers she'd vowed never to use, she follows the clues to the killer—only to find that nothing is as it seems.
The world is changing. Alliances are shifting. And the very foundations of the supernatural community are at risk. Like it or not, people are starting to take sides.
But will Aria and her friends find themselves on the right side of the fight? Or are some sins too big to come back from?

About the author
W.J. May
236 books1,191 followers Wanita May grew up in the fruit belt of Ontario - St.Catharines. Crazy-happy childhood, she always has had a vivid imagination and loads of energy.
The youngest of six -- four older brothers, and a sister -- taught her at a young age to be competitive in all aspects of life.
At sixteen, she began competing in athletics (track and field) and before she turned seventeen, she was representing Canada in high jump. She continued to compete, breaking Canada's JR High Jump record (1.92m - 6' 3 1/2" for those metric-ly challenged). She attented University of Toronto, and Kansas State University - winning CIAU's and becoming All-American 6x - NCAA Indoors Runner Up + more.
But you're not interested in her athletic career - unless of course you're curious to know she stands 1.70m (5'7") and has jumped 20cm over her head on more than one occassion. She's represented Canada at the World Championships, World Jrs., won Francophone Games, and loved every minute of every competition. From the grueling workouts, the crazy weights she lifted on her back, the days she thought her lungs were going to spit out of her mouth for lack of oxygen, the travelling around the world and the opportunity to read - her favourite past time.
Life continued with her husband (a distance runner from Liverpool, UK, who she met at KSU) and then their first, then second and finally third child. Their house became full of more imagination and stories.
Wanita and her husband run an online business, dealing in antiques and collectables - particularly jewelry and porcelain (one of the business' website: www.wadeincanada.com ).
After her father passed away in 2009, from a six-year battle with cancer (which she still believes he won the fight against), she began to write again. A passion she'd loved for years, but realized life was too short to keep putting it off.
Her first book, Rae of Hope - from the Chronicles of Kerrigan - will be available October 2011 by kNight Romance Publishing.
She is currently represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency. Wanita is a writer of Young Adult, Fantasy Fiction and where ever else her little muses take her.

Three full books, no full story
This series is ok, but the box set has three books in it and even adding them all together, it's not a full story. It's just one story, broken into who knows how many parts to sell more books, which it's always disappointing.

I'll be honest...
I enjoyed it, but:-
As previously mentioned, cliff hangers - it was a great surprise when the next book started with the next sentence!! As it was a box set, this wasn't so bad, until the last book - also a cliff hanger!
Unfortunately I'm not one to keep tormenting myself with a slow moving story which keeps ending, without ending!

hmmm. 3 books of the complete 12 book series. Each book is about 180 pages which makes the complete series about 2000 pages.
The books each ended with a cliff-hanger - I suppose each book resolves the previous story but I'd rather each book end and the next book start cleanly.

not quite as good as the originals
Probably better than just okay, but the foolish things they do to advance the plot irritate me. Sure they are “just kids”, but kids with quite a bit of life experience.

I’m giving this a 3 because although the book was realllllly good… it didn’t finish at the end of book 3. It left off in the middle of the story, in the middle of a mystery. If I would have known that I honestly wouldn’t have even read it.

Good YA fantasy novels about the superhero children of adult superheroes. I didn’t read the parent books first, so I was a bit confused by the relationships and names. I recommend reading from the beginning of the original series.

Once again I have found a good book in this story. I found it hard to put it down until the end.

So very engaging
This series takes you on quite the ride. The further in you get, the more interesting it gets. Twists and turns, hijinks, danger and laughter. Don't miss it.

Very entertaining
An excellent box set, with feisty , complex character, interesting storyline and plenty of intrigue. The romance is sweet and the fighting is fabulous.

Mind numbing
If you are in elementary school you might like the amateur story. The plot isn't that bad but the story is boring and confusing.
