BOOK 1: SAVE YOURSELF
"They're after you. But which you...?"
Dr. Laney Carter is a Nobel-prize-winning physicist, awarded for her groundbreaking experimental research on string theory and quantum universes, and then led her team to successfully develop the first working prototype allowing safe, stable and educational inter-dimension travel.
Two months ago, she disappeared. So did the prototype.
So, why are there government trackers hunting down seventeen-year-old average high school student Laney Carter in this parallel universe?
She's totally not a genius, but maybe with the help of one tall, hot, and brooding Noah Donovan, she'll figure it out in time. Before all the worlds end. Or before they manage to delete her from existence...
BOOK 2: FIND YOURSELF
"What if your dreams are a window into a parallel world...?"
Eight months ago, seventeen-year-old regular high school student Laney Carter saved the multiverse. But now she can't remember. To make matters worse, her alternate world selves have begun "The Bleed", wreaking havoc on her life - an unexpected side effect from her previous journey to the other parallel world.
Luckily, tall, hot and brooding Noah Donovan is back to take her to his world again, and a team of genius friends in the New World are endeavoring to get her memory back and formulate a cure.
And Laney needs one, fast.
A veiled organization called "The Alliance" doesn't want her in their world. Laney has been displaced, in clear violation of the laws of spacetime. An anomaly. One that needs to be corrected.
Laney needs to fix her condition before "The Bleed" takes over completely. Or before "The Alliance" fixes her themselves. Permanently.
BOOK 3: FREE YOURSELF
“Would you risk everything to get home?”
Three parallel worlds. One supernova. How hard could it be?
Laney Carter needs to go home. Except the journey back will be as dangerous as staying.
Thanks to her genius scientist “alternate self”, she’s been stuck on a parallel world, tormented by her alter egos, being hunted by secret organizations. Her life in constant peril.
Laney has to trust a radical theory to cure her bizarre condition and return to her original dimension before the forces threatened by her existence catch up to her.
What would she be willing to sacrifice to go back to her normal teenage life?
Everything? Her life? Her heart? The destruction of the multiverse?
It’s a race against time and fate to defy the odds on this unique, fast-paced sci-fi adventure.

This series is about a teenage girl who happens to stumble into a parallel universe where people mistakenly assume she is her alternate, genius, self. The life of the genius is in danger. These books are great short reads, they are full of action and are very fast paced. They keep the reader hooked.
The characters are quirky. I ADORE them. I seriously did not think I would love these characters as much as I do now after finishing the third book. The story is compelling and the writing by the author is fantastic and surely whimsical at points.
I loved the romance between Laney and Noah so much. Star crossed lovers. Their romance definitely adds up to the amazing story it already was. As a reader you are rooting for them.
This series is great for readers who are looking for a fast paced, action packed, romantic, quirky and still want substance to their story. This series was more than just romance or action. It had a layer of trust and friendship which is a beautiful thing to discover while reading.
*Thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy of her books. Although the books were gifted does not mean it will influence my thoughts. This is an 100% honest review*

Total Score: 5/5
Summary:
Laney’s thought her day-to-day problems of school and her sleepless nights made it more difficult until she found herself unwittingly transferred to a different world. Laney was hunted by strange individuals who seemed determined to take her alive or dead. While on the run she is saved by Jake Donovan the popular school jock or so she thought. Laney quickly learns that things are not what they seem and Jake is really Noah. You see somehow Laney has fallen into an alternate dimension where things may look similar, but are different. Laney and Noah find themselves on a desperate mission to save not only his world, but a realities. Will they succeed or is everything doomed.
This was a fascinating look at the possibilities of what could happen in alternate dimensions where anything is as possible as the limits of your imagination. Laney quickly finds out that the differences between their worlds are more important than the similarities. The technological advances in Noah’s world were interesting, but what caused them was tragic. This is a series that shouldn’t be missed.

Save Yourself
Short, fast read that dives right into the action and just keeps barrelling from one action scene and setting to another hardly taking a moment to breath until the rushed conclusion. There is a lot going on in this book, but it kind of feels like Laney, the central character, is dragged into a maelstrom and never quite gets a chance to take her bearings. I wish it would have slowed down a little so we could get a chance to really see and learn about this alternate post-apocalyptic world run by genius children. The world and characters are different from what tends to be typical in this genre and are worth exploring.
Find Yourself
Fun, fast moving, multi-dimensional adventure with a bit of mystery and just a touch of romance. A story that starts as a nightmare, then turns into a dream, only to reveal nothing is quite as it appears. This is very much a YA read featuring a post-apocalyptic reality where everyone seems to be a genius and everyone is young, including the teenager gamer president!
There is quite a bit of danger, conflict and political intrigue, but it never gets too heavy. The characters are funny and quirky and some of the imagery is quite fantastic.
Free Yourself
The stakes are higher, the emotions run deeper, the multiverse is bigger - and stranger - than they ever imagined! Through an accident of genetics and chance Laney finds herself pulled out of a normal, high school existence and thrown into an adventure where her very existence could mean the end of worlds.
This book really builds and expands on the world(s), characters and technology that have been introduced and explored previously. Before the action was primarily confined to one alternate reality - now it just explodes (in more was than one!) This book starts to explore the ramifications of the multiverse and opens all sorts of interesting cans of worms. Non-stop action and a bit of a twist on the romance side.

Dive into a world where alternative realities are real, and follow the adventure of one girl who stumbles into an alternative reality and comes face to face with her alternative self. A great sci-fi read filled with quirky characters and a complex plot, this is one series that will really immerse you and keep you reading until the end. I personally really enjoyed these books.

Enjoyable Read
I was hooked from beginning. Great premiss, wonderful characters and a compelling story. Just what I needed to get me out of my reading slump!!! I will definitely be looking out for more books from this author.

I felt the book was somewhat poorly written, and when a problem would arise, somehow it would just resolve itself?? Like coincidently, the main conflicts of the book, would miraculously fix themselves. The storyline felt like it was all over the place.
Spoilers:
- the alliance, somehow just gets exposed by the government, and then they don’t ever have to worry about it
- they had calculated when the supernova would come (a bunch of geniuses) and Laney had to be exposed to the supernova or she would die, she decides to save Noah instead of trying to go to the supernova in time… Miraculously all the calculations of all the scientists of when the supernova would come, just turns out the supernova decided to conveniently happen later 😂
the concept of the series was cool, i just don’t think it was executed well

Our heroine has been drawn into other dimensions and has to fight to stay alive and figure out what it going on when all she really wants is a return to her normal humdrum life.
This is the complete series in one collection, so that makes things easy.
The story is well written and easy to read, but not necessarily easy to grasp. There is a lot going on here, both in terms of action and mystery as our heroine (and the readers) try to come to grips with everything going on. I found the story to be fast paced and engaging, as I found myself continuously going for just one more page. I like our heroine and appreciate that she sticks with it even when things get rather rough. Overall, I really enjoyed this series and look forward to more from this author.
Highly recommended

Very entertaining multi verse story
Loved the characters and the multiple worlds. I would have given it five stars if not for the use of GD! Don't plan to read any more of her books, which is a shame because otherwise the writing is good. Maybe be sensitive to your entire reading base.
