Review: A Midnight Dance

A Midnight Dance by Joanna Davidson Politano
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

Oh, this was such a beautifully written story. The story developed so well and had this reader intrigued by the mystery of the theater and shocked by some revelations.

I loved how the author used Ella's journey to learn to let go and dance with grace, passion and love to be a picture of our journey with God - how if we will just let go on things we so desperately try to perfect and manage the best outcome, we will soar like eagles if we let God set the wind.

Oh, I loved Jack! The way the author made this reader fall in love with him as we, along with Ella, get to see glimpses of who Jack really was.

I had a feeling there was a story behind the North Wind, and very glad I was right.

If you enjoy Historical novels, and yet to read this author's work, pick up this story and you will be in for a treat.

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.
