Eighteen-year-old Serenity Ashdown has a brilliant mind: she counts, calculates, and analyzes everything, even when she doesn't want to. Her memory is also far beyond photographic, surpassing her physicist father's abilities. But her world was otherwise normal right up until dimension-hopping enemies forced her into a parallel reality. The feds she meets on the other side claim to want to help her go home. All she has to do is use her memory to reconstruct the right sequence of codes. But it's soon clear they want something more: a gateway for invasion, because this version of Earth is dying. Serenity can't risk returning home with a deadly force behind her, but the feds aren't about to let her escape. Then she learns that the "other Serenity," her alter-ego in this dimension, was a resistance leader recently betrayed and killed. She has a chance to assume her alter-ego's identity and use her unique ability to lead the resistance in their fight against the tyrannical super-government that is poised to invade her universe. Serenity has no idea how to be someone she's not, but she has to try-or she may not even have a home to return to.

"Thank you Bryan Prosek for sending me an eARC in return for a review. It took me awhile to finish this book(because of school). When I finally did, I was amazed with this world. I'm not one for reading sci-fi, but this book has definitely changed that. The world building was so good, the character(s) had great development. I was not expecting to read that type of beginning and I was like "Wow, did I just read that?!" The battles she had to face and the choices she had to make were hard. 5 stars!"
"I was given an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review. I'm currently reading AMOS, about 50 pages in. I will add any additional thoughts on completion. So far, it's excellent. Serenity calculates everything. She knows how many leaves are on a tree outside her window in class. She knows she's more intelligent than others but hates the thoughts that come with it. She also thinks about when calculating wasn't enough to save her mother from dying. Very well written. Recommend."
"I typically shy away from books in the sci-fi/fantasy world. However, when I read the synopsis of this book about a genius female with a far superior eidetic and photographic memory that has ever existed. <br/><br/>It captivated me from the start when she was 18 and graduating from Harvard. She was invited to join a top secret project that her father was apart of and even the new president. Her world turns inside out when she discovers something hidden in the basement while trying to find her Dad. <br/><br/>Finding herself in an alternate world from her own, she might be the only person who is able to save herself and both her world and this new world she has landed in. <br/><br/>Action packed and full of heart, courageousness and finding hope again. A perfect page turner…I really need a book two now!!"
