2012 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Semi-finalist
Post-apocalyptic science fiction with romantic elements
BLURB:
What do you do when you’re trapped between death and the devil? To protect her young daughter from a madman and a tyrant, Rachel Pryne must trust an enemy—one of the alien warriors who conquered Earth.
It is 2032, the Ohnenrai—Earth’s humanoid alien conquerors—orbit the planet, and Terran reproduction is failing. Rachel, a trained medic, is struggling to protect her seven-year-old daughter, Pearl, from the sexual predation of their penal colony’s leader. Having fathered the girl by rape, he now intends to take her on her eighth birthday, only six weeks away.
Then Rachel finds her unlikely champion—an injured Ohnenrai soldier who appears in her yard one stormy evening. She knows she may be choosing death over the devil in trusting this warrior, but she doesn’t know that her trust, and her DNA, will make her one of the most important and endangered people to ever set foot aboard an Ohnenrai starship.
Equal parts science fiction, suspense, and romance, Girl Under Glass moves from a post-apocalyptic wilderness in the American Pacific Northwest to a high-tech world aboard an alien starship furnished with all the stolen comforts of Earth. Readers meet Rachel Pryne, whose parents’ lifelong and life-ending connection to the Ohnenrai has set her upon a path she never wanted to travel. And they’re introduced to Ehtishem, an Ohnenrai soldier who exists to save his dying people, but who faces enemies from within and without his own military.
The only possible solution to the Ohnenrai’s extinction lies within Rachel, but all she wants to do is protect her daughter and see Earth’s alien conquerors go straight to hell.

What a wonderful way to start the week! It is with great pleasure to have Cindy C Bennett, an incredible friend and an even more incredible author stopping by during the virtual tour for her newest release titled Rapunzel Untangled.
BLURB:
A Girl Trapped in a Mansion
A Mysterious Old Woman
The Boy Who Will Change Everything.
My Review:
From someone’s perspective who–growing up–didn’t read the original story (never heard about it until I moved to the US) I was fascinated with Cindy’s take on it. Of course, after reading Cindy’s version I had to read the original and, without a doubt Cindy’s is my favorite version. It has wit, emotions galore and likable characters in the beginning and lovable ones at the end, not to mention a hint of … darkness.
If Innocence was to be embodied by someone–that’s Rapunzel. As for Evil Rapunzel’s mother outsmarts it by a mile. I found myself rooting for poor Rapunzel, wanting somehow to reach inside the book and rescue her from her mother’s twisted ploy. I won’t lie, that woman asked many times for a punch straight in the face–that’s how well developed the story’s villan is. Thank goodness for Fane this sweet, fun (and very popular) kid whose curiosity pushes him to look beyond the facade of Facebook and want to know and meet Rapunzel. Little does he know what he was about to unravel beats anyone’s imagination.
Without a doubt this clean YA novel deserves 5 stars in my books and a place of honor on my favorite-books-of-all-times shelf.
Now to the fun part. As part of her tour Cindy provides us with a copy of her new novel. For your chance to win it all you have to do is click here.
About the Author
Cindy C Bennett was born and raised in beautiful Salt Lake City, growing up in the shadows of the majestic Rocky Mountains. She and her husband – who happens to be her high-school sweetheart – raised two sons and two daughters. She’s now blessed with two daughters-in-law as well. She developed a love of writing in high school when a teacher introduced her to the joys of escaping reality for ten minutes each day in writing.
When she’s not writing, reading, or answering emails (notice there’s no mention of cleaning, cooking, or anything remotely domestic), she can often be found riding her Harley through the beautiful canyons near her home. (Yes, she rides a Harley.)

Back home in Romania believing in dreams is quite popular. I used to believe in them a lot. Like if I dreamed I was crying, the next day I’d laugh a lot. Or if I’d dream blood the next day I’d receive a letter. Or coins– that meant a heated argument. Since I moved to the US I stopped believing in them, and I must confess I feel lighter, more at ease. In looking back I think of how silly I was then to pay so much attention to them AND let whatever dream dictate how I felt the next day. I still have a recurring dream tough and as much as I refuse to acknowledge it, it proved many times true. It’s more a sign of something bad about to happen, but luckily I don’t dream it very often.
And because the subject of the day is dreaming I decided to sign up for the 3rd Annual Dreaming of Books Giveaway Hop running from January 18th to 24th and organized by Kathy @ I’m A reader Not A Writer and co-hosted by Reviews by Martha’s Bookshelf.

Once upon a time … there was Kathy, a miracle working bee with a fantastic blog called I’m A Reader Not A Writer. On this blog Kathy constantly organized giveaway hops where people from all over the world received tons of amazing prizes.
One day Kathy, helped by Gabrielle from The Mod Podge Bookshelf started another hop called Young Adult Faeries &Fantasy Giveaway Hop running from January 8th through January 14th. For this hop the one important rule to remember is that every blogger has to give away a book from the YA genre with faeries and fantasy elements.
Sounds fun? Well, then, I better get busy and find something for you. After long searches I decided my dear friend Cindy C Bennett’s novels (electronic versions) are just perfect for this giveaway:
So, now let’s get to work. I’ll post the winner on January 15th, but in order for you to win these books you need to follow me @CamiSkiba on Twitter AND leave your answer to the question: WHICH FANTASY CREATURE YOU DON’T LIKE? Personally I don’t like dragons, especially the ones spitting fire :/
Good luck everyone!
