âOMG, 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.â - Diary of a Wannabe WriterIâm Meimi Archer, your regular high school science geek for hire. Sure, itâs 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 youâre 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. Thatâs when a hottie named Thorne materializes in my kitchen. Heâs about my age, wears black body armor, and says he came to âthis version of Earthâ from another planet. We share a bizarre mind-meld moment before he vows to do anything that ensures I survive. Hey, Iâll take all the help I can get. Plus, Thorne has dimples... âThis 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.â - Smadaâs Book Smack Dimension Drift SeriesA dystopian adventure with science, snark and hot aliens 1. Scythe2. Umbra3. Alien Minds4.
