A Midnight Dance
by Joanna Davidson Politano
| -From Goodreads- 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. ISBN-13: 978-0800736903 What a beautiful wonderful story! In recent years a slow trend has been emerging in Christian fiction. A trend away from the stereotypical 'perfect' hero and heroine and into the realm of what I would call real people. These characters are flawed, they struggle with the tough stuff, they face the darkness. And they mirror the life reality that just because we become Christians all of our problems don't just melt away. Authors like Joanna Davidson Politano and Jaime Jo Wright are prime examples of this trend and it's one that I highly applaud. It's the very thing that makes books like A Midnight Dance so wonderful to read, so emotionally moving, and so powerful as they show the beautiful messiness of life and the wonder of redemption. |  This Book received a 5 Bark rating.

But, A Midnight Dance was also a thoroughly captivating and entertaining story as well. The peek into the earliest beginnings of modern ballet was fascinating and exquisite. Joanna Davidson Politano's research into the era and techniques was impeccable and added a beauty all its own to the story. And then, there's one of my favorite parts, those deliciously chilling Gothic overtones that brought mystery and intrigue to the tale. They provided the perfect contrast to the glitz of the ballet world.
