Ensnared

A Near-Future Retelling of Beauty and the Beast

Alainn’s father is not a bad man. He’s a genius and an inventor. When he’s hired to create the robot Rose, Alainn knows taking the money is a mistake.

Rose acts like a human. She looks exactly like Alainn. But, something in her comes out wrong.

To save her father from a five year prison sentence, Alainn takes Rose’s place. She says goodbye to the sun and goes to live in a tower no human is allowed to enter. She becomes the prisoner of a man no human is allowed to see.

Believing that a life of servitude lies ahead, Alainn finds a very different fate awaits her in the company of the strange, scarred recluse.

Although I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher, all opinions remain my own.

This book was quite the ride. When I saw it was about an AI robot, I figured things wouldn't be going well for the humans. That's usually how it goes. What I didn't expect was how much I would learn to love the characters. The book seemed super weird at first. Man wants AI robot to be his company for dinner each night, that's it. But the man sits at a darkened end of the table, invisible to his company. Unseen, the stranger is more compelling then Alainn thought he would be.

I devoured this book in a day. Watching, waiting what was going to happen to Alainn kept me going. Then wondering what was going on kept me reading. My husband was amazed I finished this one so quickly.

Totally recommend this book to lovers of the sci-fi. It does have a few adult situations and does have a disclaimer. Not for young readers. A great one though. Pick it up!
