One of my favourite things to read are Renditions/Variants of Fairy-tales/Myths and Legends or of Classics. Today's book is a modern version of Rapunzel.
 
Review: Rapunzel Untangled - Cindy C. Bennett - February 2013
Do you remember the fairy-tale of Rapunzel with her long flowing blonde hair and the evil witch who kidnapped her and locked her away in a tower and there she remained until the prince came and rescued her ? 
Now readers, get ready for a modern and contemporary version of the tale with Cindy C. Bennett as she takes us into the life of Rapunzel Goleth or to her friends on Facebook - RG.
Ever since Rapunzel was little , all she has ever know was the tower and has had it repeated to her over and over again - the prophecy and the fact that she cannot leave the tower as she will get sick. Life goes on for Rapunzel until one day whilst misusing her computer she discovers Facebook and joins Facebook. On Facebook, she friends a guy named Fab Fane Anderson. Fane and Rapunzel start talking and soon Fane introduces via Facebook messenger - a whole new and undiscovered world for Rapunzel. Soon whilst Rapunzel's mother is away on business , the pair start hanging out more and more. Soon though, Rapunzel discovers that what she knows and what is the truth isn't lining up with reality and soon she will discover a life she never imagined ?
Who really is Rapunzel and why is she being locked away in the tower and not allowed access to the "real world"?
Rapunzel Untangled by Cindy C. Bennett is a fun and contemporary look at the old Children's fairytale Rapunzel.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
