Shifted Dimension (Looking Glass Multiverse, #3)



Book Source: BookSiren
Cross-post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review
Type of Story: Standalone Series
Smut Radar: 🌶️🌶️/5
Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5

Shifted Dimension by Delta James was the third book in the Looking Glass Multiverse Series. This story was centered around Gage, a game programmer, and Chance, an alpha. When Gage programmed her game 'Shifted Dimension' she had no idea what was in store for her. One minute she went to the restroom and heard voices, the next she woke to a sexy ass male in her bedroom. The protagonist of the game she programmed. Yes, people, an arrogant alpha. One mishap of identity led to a steamy altercation. Before she knew it, she was whisked off to another dimension. The same one she created. 

The plotline was interesting. I kept wanting to find out who was behind everything. The ending was not what I hoped for, but good, nonetheless. 

I was not a big fan of Chance since around the third or fourth chapter. Even so, I pushed through, hoping to favor him later on. 'Let's face it, alpha males are toxic men who would say, 'screw the world and protect my mate'. They dominate but also show love in a way that's on another level from normal.' I was here for that toxic, yet addictive love alphas often gave. I didn't get that much from Chance as the story progressed. I got more dominance than love which annoyed me on more occasions than I had hoped for. 

Then Gage fell in love and my mind went blank. I stared at the pages in confusion. Like how? When was there any love to make me, the reader, smile and think they were cute in a 'that's not normal' way? I didn't get that. At all. All the cute moments were told instead of being shown. The couple spent time together, but I had to hear about it in brief annotations. Which made it difficult for me to get attached to the characters and be happy for them. I wished I got more romance from the novel.

In a previous chapter, when Lola was taken by Hogan for punishment, Gage and Chance had an entire conversation about what Lola's punishment would be. It even got to the point where Gage was preaching against Lola's injustice. And then, in chapter 11, Gage had no recollection of such a conversation and seemed a bit shocked by Chance's response. This confused me again and made me a bit irritated. Maybe if Gage had asked the question in a different way to keep readers reminded of the injustice, it would have been fine. A recap conversation could have blossomed from 'How is Lola?' and things could have gone from there. 

I had hoped to not add spoilers to my review. However, there were some things I couldn't help but talk about to get my point across. Those which influenced my three stars ratings.  

Even so, I would recommend 'Shifted Dimension' to people who believe in fate. It doesn't matter who we are or where we are, if we are meant to be with someone or be somewhere then nothing will ever stop us. We will get there one way or another.

Coming Up for Air Review

  Book Source: Kindle  Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Novel Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Coming Up for Air by Amanda Meuwissen Review  I stumbled on this story and noticed the merman on the book cover. I didn't even think much into it---not even to read the synopsis---why I took such a chance was beyond me---and got the book. My childhood obsession with merfolks--not Ariel, I hated her---followed me into adulthood. Therefore, anything merfolk and I'm going to read it. This book fell into that category. And, I was glad I decided to read this book.   It all began when Leigh was dumped into the river by the mobster brothers, whom he stole from to appease the mafia he worked for. On the verge of drowning, he was kissed by an angel. Later he woke ashore without the shackles that the gangsters had tied around his ankle. Thinking nothing of it, Leigh went home, trying to come up with a plan to get himself out of the bind he ...

Ugly (Winter Sun, #1) Review

  Book Source: Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Series Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Ugly (Winter Sun, #1) Review I was in the mood for an omegaverse when I stumbled on Ugly. My God was I not disappointed in my spontaneous decision. Ugly was that MM Romance I never knew I had to read. Like Burke, you could take care of me any day. Any day.  Emerson, a homeless omega, had found solitude in the bar of an older Alpha for the past three months. He never had a problem with the routine exchange of a few meals for a petty job here and there around the bar with the large alpha. Burke was caring and made him feel safe.  Burke could care less about the chores he asked the omega to do. It was a simple trade. Plus, Emerson never caused problems and often left after. Until one winter night. Three days before his heat cycle started, Emerson ended up in Burke's bar begging him to be allowed to stay until his cycle was over. The...

Home Plate (Easton U Pirates, #2) Review

  Book Source: Book Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: MM Standalone Series  Starred Ratings: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Spice Rating: 🌶🌶/5 Home Plate (Easton U Pirates, #2) Review The electricity went out in my area and while bored I read book one, Bat Boy in this Easton U Pirates series, in one sitting. I'm a sucker for character arcs, so when I noticed Mason and Domonic in Bat Boy, I immediately shipped them. It thrilled me to know my intuitions were good and the duo was going to be a couple. So, I continued the trend and stayed up until the blink of dawn to read book two. Not a healthy idea since I had stuff to do in the day, but I wouldn't be a bookaholic if I never did an all-nighter for the sake of reading.  Back to the review.  Mason was the grumpy asshole while Domonic was the caring type. He wasn't overly adorable which fit his character and how the whole plot tied to Mason. I adored the banter between the two. Dominic knew how to handle Mason. H...
