Language: R (50+ swears, 25+ ‘f’); Mature Content: G; Violence: G
BUYING ADVISORY: HS - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
DE (Daphne Elizabeth) is still reeling from her “break-up” with Alaric - she may have only been a “side piece” to him, but for DE the investment was real. When Xander arrives near the end of the year - a mysterious, new boy - her friend group tries to point her in his direction. Xander doesn’t have time for the beautiful, sad girl - he is only at Rosetta Academy to solve a decades old mystery that has brought only misfortune to his family. When students around the school start falling asleep, with no known way to wake them up, DE and Xander must combine forces to solve that mystery and Xander’s personal mystery, if there is any chance to save them all.
Definitely liked this one better than #2, but I was not amused by the amount of “f’-words thrown around - very grating. Not a single thing would have been lost from any of these books without the swearing. For the series as a whole, leave it for HS libraries with strong fantasy circulation.
