A Midnight Dance // Book Review

 
About the Book:
All theater romances are tragedies. Ella Blythe knows this. Still, she cannot help but hope her own story may turn out different than most--and certainly different than the tragic story of the Ghost of Craven Street Theater. Yet as she struggles to maintain her tenuous place in the ever-shrinking ballet company, win the attentions of principal dancer Philippe, and avoid company flirt Jack, Ella cannot deny the uncanny feeling that her life is mirroring that of the dead ballerina.

Is she dancing ever closer to the edge of her own tragic end? Or will the secrets that are about to come to light offer release from the past?

Mystery and romance make the perfect dance partners in this evocative story from fan-favorite Joanna Davidson Politano.


My Review:
Back in the spring of last year I read my first book by Joanna Davidson Politano and she became a new favorite author. 
Joanna Davidson Politano has a lovely way with words. Her stories are so well crafted, her characters complex and amazing, and I love the air of mystery that is woven through her stories. 
When I first heard of A Midnight Dance I was so excited to read it. It did not disappoint!
I thought it was cool that the main character, Ella Blythe, did ballet. I find lots of different styles of dance fascinating so it was cool to read about a dancer.
Jack Dorian was an interesting character. I went from not liking him at all to liking him a lot. 
The people and mysteries surrounding Craven Street Theatre were intriguing. 
So much stuff that I was so not expecting happened, especially towards the end!
I absolutely loved the ending. It was so amazing!
I really enjoyed reading about the ballet and the performances. It was really neat. 
There’s so much more I want to say but can’t because I don’t want to spoil anything.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and I cannot wait to read this authors next release!

**Thank you Revell for the book in exchange for my honest review
