This Sleeping Beauty retelling about a girl, her lost memories, and the boy who disappeared is an addictive fantasy romance perfect for fans of Twilight, Graceling, and 90s cult classics like Clueless, Hocus Pocus, and The Witches. Content Rating: YA-13+
Forbidden love could be her greatest downfall...or her saving grace.
When Liddy Erickson was a child, a hauntingly beautiful yet vicious witch plagued her dreams. But when she wakes one morning with a deep gash on her chest in the same place the witch attacked her, she realizes these were no ordinary nightmares.
Shortly after she confides in her best friend, Will, his entire family disappears, along with her memories of them.
It's now 1998, and seventeen-year-old Liddy has one goal-to move out of the cold Chicago suburbs after graduation. Two things that are not in her perfectly planned life: fun and dating.
That is until the new transfer student catches the eye of every girl at Wheeling High School.
With intriguing scars and eyes that seem to glow, he awakens something inexplicable in Liddy and proves to know her even better than her closest friends.
When a stranger with a distinct melodic chime to his walk saves Liddy from opening an enchanted envelope, he reveals an outrageous claim that she is a lost Watcher and the saving grace for his homeland, Cristes. Liddy must decide if she can trust the stranger's orders or risk condemning an entire nation.
The Witch in the Envelope is the first in a trilogy (set to complete, with a "happily ever after" ending, in winter 2022). It's perfect for romantasy fans looking for all the angst and tension of a slow-burn and swoon-worthy couple, but with the graphic steam and spice happening off the page.
