From the New York Times bestselling author of When Dimple Met Rishi comes the third "enjoyable" (Kirkus Reviews) installment in a series set an elite boarding school that's a contemporary spin on fairy tales, this one a thrilling and swoon-worthy twist on Sleeping Beauty.
It's senior year, and Daphne Elizabeth "DE" McKinley, the heiress to the McKinley hotel dynasty, is still licking her wounds after a painful breakup. She's determined to keep her head down and her heart shuttered—even from new student Xander, no matter how dreamy he is.

Then Rosetta Academy is swallowed up by a sudden and massive spring storm, and very strange things start happening. The students start to fall into a stupor, then a deep sleep...one by one. Soon, DE is racing against the clock to find the source of the strange spell and stop it before it claims the entire school. Could Xander's help be the key to solving the mystery?

      A heartbroken girl must learn to trust again--before a mysterious illness claims her entire school. After being cruelly betrayed by a boy, Rosetta Academy senior Daphne Elizabeth "DE" McKinley is done with dating. Encouraged by her best friend, Jaya, to consult town psychic Madame Olivera, DE receives an ominous warning about an impending storm--and a death. Madame Olivera also gives her a note stating that, with an open heart, DE can vanquish the storm. Unconvinced, she dismisses it as a hoax. She also eschews love, even resisting handsome new boy Xander Murthy. But DE and Xander find a strange doll from 1873 in the woods, and after DE pricks her finger on something sharp in its body, the academy is enveloped in a severe snowstorm, and students start succumbing to a comalike sleeping sickness. When Xander reveals that his great-great-great-uncle, a Rosetta student, mysteriously died in his sleep during the great storm of 1873, the two work together to uncover long-kept secrets and save their friends. Told from the alternating perspectives of DE and Xander, this retelling of "Sleeping Beauty" includes some appearances by characters from previous entries and is a fun addition to the series. DE experiences many relatable post-breakup feelings before finding herself again, and Xander's family history touches on generational cycles of addiction. DE is white; Xander is Indian, Irish, Scottish, and West African. Another enjoyable romance for fans of this fractured fairy tale series. (map) (Romance. 12-18)
