[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Unity" by Holly A Kellison, Leigh Barbera.]

I just finished Unity: Book 1: In the Dimension Series by Leigh Barbera and Holly A. Kellison. This is the first in a series and ends in a cliffhanger, wanting you to hurry to get to reading the second book in the series.

Sisters Kaia and Chloe are separated from each other at a young age and into different dimensions. Growing up in very different surroundings gives the girls unique characteristics. Even though they are separated dimensionally, they are united by matching amulet necklaces. Their story continues as they try to find each other and figure out their past with help from their boyfriends Pierce and Drake.

This was a great book. I enjoyed how the authors included parts about guides, portals, time travel, and higher frequencies. I liked how Barbera and Kellison used meditation, Reiki, and manifesting to help the sisters learn how to calm their anxiety during different sections of the book. The storyline held my attention and had me wanting to finish the story to see what happened to them.

I rate Unity: Book 1: In the Dimension Series a four out of five, since I really enjoyed the storyline of this book. I took one star off for the ending of the book, I'm not a fan of series that end in a cliffhanger, and the book did have quite a few grammatical and spelling errors. I did not feel that they took away from the storyline. It had great character development. There was some profanity and sexual content. If you tend to stay away from those things, I would not recommend this book to you. I do think those who like multi-dimensional world stories with a bit of adventure and mystery would enjoy this series.

I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in the series to be released so I can continue on with the story of these sisters.

Unity by Holly A. Kellison and Leigh Barbera is one of those books that really makes you stop and think not just about the world, but about your own place in it. It’s thoughtful, honest, and surprisingly hopeful, especially for a book that deals with some heavy topics like division, justice, and social responsibility.

What makes it stand out is how it blends different perspectives philosophy, social science, real-life stories and brings them together in a way that feels natural. It’s not preachy or overly academic; instead, it feels like a genuine conversation about how we can better understand each other and create stronger communities.

One of the things I appreciated most is how the authors don’t pretend to have all the answers. They don’t offer quick fixes or idealistic visions. Instead, they encourage us to think more deeply, act more intentionally, and recognize that unity is something we build together day by day, choice by choice.

There’s something very grounding about the way they write. It feels like they believe in people’s ability to change, to grow, and to come together even when things are tough. And that kind of hope, mixed with realism, is something we could all use a little more of.

I'm intrigued by stories set in other dimensions that can be very different from our own. In this case, we have two sisters who are separated and end up living in two different dimensions while keeping connected. A cliffhanger can be annoying, so I might wait at least for Book 2 to be published to start a promising series. Thank you for your great review!

This is a great review of Unity: Book 1. The concept of sisters separated into different dimensions and united by amulets, using elements like "higher frequencies" and "time travel," sounds incredibly intriguing for a sci-fi fan like me. It's cool how meditation and Reiki were incorporated. Your note about the cliffhanger and errors is helpful, but it sounds like an exciting start to a series. Thanks for sharing.
