Over dit e-boek

“OMG, this was absolutely amazing! Meimi is badass, brilliant, and snarky… And the setting! The world described is very dark and technically advanced with super interesting sciency stuff, aliens, and tons of mystery.” - Diary of a Wannabe Writer

I’m Meimi Archer, your regular high school science geek for hire. Sure, it’s dangerous to create high-tech gizmos for a criminal overlord called the Scythe, but it keeps Mom and me safely off-grid. Ever since the Authority took over the United Americas, you either live inside a domed city (where you’re watched 24-7) or you scrape by on illegal money while hiding out in the sticks. Guess what category I fall into?

Long story short, everything's fine until I screw up a job. Badly. My home slips into two-dimensional space-time. It only lasts for a few seconds, but the move still sets off about a dozen government alarms. If they track me down, Mom and I are good as dead. Now I need to pay someone off, hide the evidence, and keep us safe. Fast.

That’s when a hottie named Thorne materializes in my kitchen. He’s about my age, wears black body armor, and says he came to “this version of Earth” from another planet. We share a bizarre mind-meld moment before he vows to do anything that ensures I survive.

Hey, I’ll take all the help I can get. Plus, Thorne has dimples...

“This kept me on my toes … Be it random science, opening portals to new dimensions, evading capture, doing shady deals with crime bosses, betrayal, the humdrum of school with Lead Camper Dave (snicker), to hot (alien) man-candy sent to help save the day. Pick this up and expect to get sucked in to the Dimension Drift.” - Smada’s Book Smack

Beoordelingen en reviews

I have read other books by this author so it was no surprise to me that even though this isn't my regular cup of tea, I liked it :) World building was very good, as this is the prequel, the setting of the stage is done and out of the way. I must admit, I'm normally not into the science part of sci-fi, but the author explains it in such a way that you can easily understand (yay) and follow the rest of the story. Our main character Meimi has a lot on her shoulders, living in a society under the rule of "the Authority" that kills off people who are no longer useful to them, such as her ailing mother. She has to stay off the grid, creating advanced devices that manipulate space-time for the local mob boss to stay fed, housed, clothed but most of all, out of the Authorothy's clutches. She is very mature for her age, though her social skills are somewhat lacking due to working and spending time in her lab. It was well written with no (noticeable) errors and there is no sex described (if that is important to you). I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and I was pleasantly surprised. The prequel was a short and easy read, looking forward to reading more!

Over de auteur

Christina Bauer believes that fantasy books are like bacon: they just make life better. All of which is why she writes romance novels that feature demons, dragons, wizards, witches, elves, elementals, and a bunch of random stuff that she brainstorms while riding the Boston T. Oh, and she includes lots of humor and kick-ass chicks, too. Christina lives in Newton, MA with her husband, son, and semi-insane golden retriever, Ruby.
