[THIS SERIES HAS BEEN REBOOTED] Dangerous new players are entering the battle between the Supers and their enemy, an organization seeking power and absolute control. Now, Ivy and the others have no choice but to place their trust in Malcolm, a boy with questionable motives who is more than capable of killing them. He may be their only hope to save Claire and defeat Zodiac. Of course, Malcolm and his mysterious origins are the least of the their problems. Scientist John Smith is creating powerful weapons to pit against the Supers. The government is turning the country against them. They are far from being able to overpower Zodiac's army. Strangest of all are the triangular shards of metal beginning to turn up: the Pyramid Fragments. The one owned by the Director at Tyche Laboratories was only the first. The Supers know nothing about where they came from. Or what power they hold. ~ Cover by me Completed Word Count: ~54,000

[STORY HAS BEEN REBOOTED] Ivy just burned her boarding school to the ground, but that's the least of her problems. People are chasing her, the government wants to lock her up, and a group called Scorpion wants to recruit her. Ivy quickly learns that she isn't alone in the world. There are other kids like her. Kids with powers. They are known as the Supers, and now it's up to them to stop Scorpion. The fate of the country, and possibly the planet, depends on it. The Supers don't know it yet, but the whole world is about to change. They've become a part of something much bigger than an experiment gone wrong, or a fight for power, or the strange and sinister organizations trying to use the Supers for their own purposes. Something that could be bigger than the universe itself. // Completed Word Count: ~62,000 Cover by me Read more on my website: http://auroranelson.weebly.com/ Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/Uze4_QjdyYM Check out the pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.com/auroranelson28/the-supers-experiment/

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.
