"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

Full Review on my blog!

* a copy was provided by NetGalley*

Wow. Just wow. If Scythe is any indication, the Dimension Drift series is going to be a corker, hands down.

I just realized this was a prequel~ omg, this was absolutely amazing! I got so into it from the start and couldn't believe how fast it ended.

This was a great introduction into to a new series I can’t wait for.

Meimi is a girl with a lot on her shoulders. She believes that her sister Luci is dead, as she has gone missing over a year ago. Her mother's condition is also worsening, and she is only lucid a few times every couple of days. On top of all of this, she is supposed to be attending school. Luckily, she has found a way to hack her school system so that it says she's always there. When her hacking gets her on the government's radar, she has to find a way to protect both herself and her mother.

Can’t wait to read more! I'm really looking forward to Umbra, which is another prequel from Thorne's POV. I recommend this series!

After reading the blurb, I was excited to get my hands on this one. It was even better than I expected.

Meimi is about sixteen years old and a genius. Too bad, she can only use her talents to create devices for the black market, since it's the only way to keep her mother alive. Thanks to her mother's mental illness, she's been placed on the government's to-be-exterminated list. Meimi makes sure the two of them live off grid, but it's not easy. While semi-stealing parts for her latest order, Meimi runs into more than a little trouble, and she finds herself mind-melding with the government's latest killing beast. It could be a dream just like the ones she has about a hot alien guy...but as things get weirder and more dangerous, she begins to question more than her sanity.

This is a book for multi-universe, science fiction, action, teen romance and imagination fans. Meimi is a tough girl...not overly so, though. And it's this which makes her enjoyable. She's a genius in her area—dimension drifts—but she's social null and more than awkward. Plus, she's not a kick-butt heroine like often found in these novels. Her talent is simply her brains. And heart. Her sass is heavy but it fits very well to her situation and background. Plus, she's aware that she doesn't know everything and can't handle every situation. It's easy to like her and connect with her.

Imagination hits science fiction hard and creates a rich, fun world. There's a dash of dystopian which makes for an interesting mix with the multi-universes and dimensions. Not everything is scientifically sound...not even close, but that's also not the point. There is a ton of fun in these pages, and it's a fantastical dive into Meimi's amazing devices and the shifting of dimensions and creatures. The criminal/mafia add-on gives a nice touch as does the problems Meimi faces with her family situation.

The romance hits fast (as is often the case in young adult novels) and that was a little disappointing. But at least, the author makes sure to give a solid reasoning behind the almost 'instant' love in wonderful science fiction style.

This isn't a literary wonder but an enjoyable read to get lost in and an adventure with tons of thrills. I'll be continuing with this series to see what happens next.

I received a complimentary copy and was drawn into the story even much more than expected. So, I'm leaving my honest thoughts. ( )

When I saw that the book I had previously reviewed had an extended version, I kind of let out a big sigh. After all, why re-release a book with added content? Was it not finished before you put it out? However, reading this book, I realized that it's not just an extended version, but a completely different version of the original novella, and one that I like a lot more than I thought I would. Basically the same story, just told in a better way.

Check out my full review here!

DIMENSION DRIFT is a prequel that did it's job.

Meimi caught my interest pretty quickly. The things she can do are pretty neat and I'm interested in learning more about her as she learns about her self in book two.

There's a bit of an insta-love feel that I hope doesn't happen. I need there to be a little more lead up to romance. Hopefully I get that in the next book.

The world was interesting. Some things were a little kookie —Learning Squirrel High School with camp counselor teachers—, but I still ended up enjoying things.

DIMENSION DRIFT gave me just enough to keep me interested and left me wanting more.

I gave it 3.5 stars
