Alien Minds by Christina Bauer

Book Description:
DIVERGENT meets OCEAN'S EIGHT in this urban fantasy heist!

On my seventeenth birthday, I wake up in the hospital to find I just survived a sketchy-but-terrible accident. My perfect-looking parents say I live an ideal life inside the Boston dome. And although my swoon-worthy guard, Thorne, looks totally familiar, he says we don’t have a history. 

What a bunch of crap.

“This world is something I've never read before … then add in the spunk of our female lead character and the creative and out-of-this-world science and I'm hooked - 100% hooked!” – Bee’s Blog On Books

I don’t remember anything—not even my real name—but I can still tell when someone’s lying. From what I figure out, my dystopian overlords wiped my memory, leaving only my super science skills behind. Now, instead of expecting me to scream for revenge, the government demands that I build new tech that will launch an apocalypse against anyone who isn’t perfect. 

So I nod. Say yes. And scheme to blow the whole thing up. 

My memory may be gone, but my sass remains intact. I round up a team of teenage scientists to take down the nasty-ass government without getting ourselves killed. Only trouble is, I must accomplish all this while avoiding my growing attraction to Thorne, who may or may not be an alien. Something tells me that protecting my heart from my hottie guard might be the most dangerous adventure of all…

“Have you read Dimension Drift and fallen in love with the characters like the rest of us?” - Radioactive Book Reviews

This new series is perfect for: fans of urban fantasy, cool science, hot alien guards, space operas, evil corporations and forbidden romance.

My Thoughts:
I really like this author's writing. I wasn't sure with the whole alien thing, what to expect but I fell in love with Thorne. I would suggest reading the prequels but it isn't absolutely necessary.  Meimi is a feisty, smart girl with absolutely no memory of her life before waking up in the hospital. She doesn't know who to trust or who to distrust, but her instincts are on point.
The obstacles that Meimi and Thorne along with all their friends face seems impossible. I absolutely adore all the characters that surround Meimi and Thorne. There were some slimy characters as well. Watching the story unfold, I was rooting for their team the whole time and loving getting to know them. The way it ended, makes me want the next book now!
It was a 5/5 for me and I cannot wait to read what happens next.
