Dimensions of Genesis
What if you're not who you think you are? Lily Donovan is being stalked by evil entities that desire her soul. Unknowingly the reincarnation of a famous spirit, she is plagued by dark creatures that invade her dreams. Following a tragic accident, Lily is trapped in purgatory; where she discovers more about herself as a ghost than she did while she was alive. In the meantime, David Blake denies the afterlife--until the day he dies. To his surprise, not only is there a hereafter--they've been waiting for him. At the request of elite beings, David is asked to rescue a soul lost in limbo. The spirit in peril harbors an ancient power that will prevent the destruction of Earth. Unexpectedly, David finds that he, too, possesses an undiscovered force brewing within him. With a mysterious celestial event threatening the Earth, David must find the lost soul. It might have been easy--if the creatures of darkness hadn't found her first. A unique and philosophical novel that weaves elements of String and Quantum theories into the paranormal storyline.

(This review may contain spoilers).
Having my Kindle has turned out to be quite a good thing, since I can read books by new authors for free or very little money. This book caught my attention on Amazon because of the design on the front cover and the blurb was very interesting.
I have to say, I was a bit confused at first. There didn't seem to be any links between the characters and storylines, or how everything linked in to the first scene. With the dreams, it began to make some sense - but even then, I still couldn't figure out how everything fit together.
After the first scene, I felt that the relationship between Gabriel and Lily was rather rushed. I've never particularly liked characters who just feel 'drawn' to each other and I've always felt that having reincarnated lovers tends to make for lazy writing - the characters just fall for each other and fall in love with very little prompting or truly getting to know each other. For instance, there was nothing to show Gabriel had told Lily about his father's death, yet she knew already and that's the sort of thing that can bring characters together.
I did feel that everything wasn't quite explained in a satisfactory way. The people and the Earth have moved up a dimension and humans can now see the dead, but what does that mean? Does death no longer exist in this new dimension? What truly happened with Adam and Eve? Why did they choose to be reincarnated? How did they get past what had happened with Eden? What will happen between Lily and Gabriel now? What about their families?
Although I did like the book - and the ending - I was left with a whole host of questions. I'm not a big fan of open endings, which is probably more of a personal thing. The book gets four stars because I wasn't completely happy with how everything wrapped up, but I have three more books on my Kindle by this author that I intend to read eventually, so the book was still good and enjoyable... and one that I'll probably read again.

In the beginning, I downloaded the sample. It was choppy and hard to follow. I felt like I was getting shoved in four different directions. My friend (who has not read the book) said why not give it a shot. So, I did.
I bought the book. The first half to three quarters of the book followed the same choppy pattern as the sample. It switches from the perspective of Lily to that of another character David. I found myself frustrated trying to make the pieces fit together. It is the last quarter of the book that saved it. The connections get explained, fit nicely together, and you get transported into the world of the story.
In the end, I enjoyed the book. It was a good quick read. The characters are what hold you in the story through the rough waters. I will warn that there were some formatting errors where the paragraphs no longer indent or block out so it can be hard to read at those points (This only happens about three times). There were a few times that the typos had me guessing for words, but not to the point I was annoyed. It was a good first book, and I will be buy one of the others offered by Lee to see if she can reach her stride.

"She clutched her head with her translucent hands and wailed like a banshee screaming into the wind."
Dimensions of Genesis invokes deep thought while on a perilous, heartpounding, fast paced journey to the end of the world and back.
From a forbidden love to angels and demons, Dimensions of Genesis is full of suspense, passion, pain and mystery and remains riveting till the end.

I enjoyed this book!

This book, although equipped with flaws and confusion, is actually a brilliant concept that is written out as clearly as possible, which sounds confusing in itself! The flaws (to me) were the fact that there is no real timeline to the chapters or indeed any indication of when you are until you have already read through some of it. You will skip from Gabe being 18 to 12 to 18 again to 15. And that is interspersed with the same thing happening to Lily but different ages. And then throw David into the mix as another main character and I'm sure you can understand my confusion. Even something as simple as putting the year at the top of the chapters along with the heading would make it a lot easier to read.
Even with all the twists and turns that you experience as you try to follow the story, it is still very good! Stick with it and I'm sure that most of you will enjoy it. I would compare it to Inception the movie but in book form for mental gymnastics!!!
Not for everyone but you will either love it or hate it.

A very intriging short story. The author should think about the possibility of expanding it into a novel.

I loved this book! I have read this book more than once and will read it again. I enjoyed the story of two people who are connected in different times - a vortex that keeps bringing them together.

Beautiful
I loved this book. This is my second time reading it. One can only hope this is what the afterlife is really like.
